Open KWrite, then from menu File/Open appears a file dialog on the right upper
corner there is a combobox with all encodings available. Select UTF8 and
select a file that you know it's UTF-8 encoding. For example a translation
file: kde-i18n/it/messages/kdeextragear-1/k3b.po from KDE CVS HEAD and see.
I think I write correctly the bug description, why did you ask me a precise
one?
So you can NEVER set your KWrite on utf-8 encoding? Can you take a screenshot showing your encoding and a bit of the messed file? Is the behaviour the same with Kate? I am interested in your bug as I use a lot of utf-8 (khangman and klettres data plus translations) and I want Kate to be fixed. However I can open KWrite with utf-8, it's only in certain special cases that I have a problem. Well, sometimes I can load as UTF-8 others time no. It's random. In the shot I attached. You can see "sincerit" and strange character. it has to be "sincerità". It's the Italian KHangman "hard.txt" It is difficult to reproduce this but cause of its random way of doing. Created an attachment (id=8077) kwriteshot.png I would like to see the View -> Set Encoding menu item on your screenshot. What does it say? Obviously your file is not opened as utf-8 but it will be difficult to make sense of the bug if it's random. It must be related to something. I can open all KHangMan files as utf-8 with KWrite, I just tried with hard.kvtml in kde-i18n/data/kdeedu/khangman. If you could try that one and set KWrite View -> Set Encoding to utf-8 just to see if it resolves it? Maybe your bug is only in 3.3.0. |
