Description André Stein 2011-06-07 12:51:47 UTC

Version:           4.2.1 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

When using the replace function in the replace all plugin, the plugin destroys the encoding of my source files which are in ISO8859-1. The happens with files which aren't opened in the editor window. It seems that the plugin doesn't honor the settings from the Editor configuration (where ISO8* is configured in my code base).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create file test.txt with content "Hellö World"
2. Search and replace World with some other string (don't open test.txt when String is found!)
3. Content of test.txt is now scrambled (due to umlaut ö)

I just experienced this on Fedora 17 with KDE4.9.3 and KDevelop 4.4. 

Luckily I caught the problem before I committed, but it took me almost 10 minutes to undo it.

The problem lies somewhere in DocumentChangeSet which doesn't handle closed files correctly. I filed a bug for that one.

This bug still exists. My project uses ISO-8859-2 as set by .kateconfig, all the files are opened properly but the search/replace function treats all the files as UTF-8.
