GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 594544
gedit shows strange characters if file will be saved with different encoding
Last modified: 2018-04-14 23:58:04 UTC
1 - Open Gedit (Accessories -> Text Editor) 2 - Save the file (empty or not), lets say, with the name "test.txt" at this point, the Character Coding is set to UTF-8. Save the file. 3 - Click on "Save As", change the character coding below, in my case the option is Western (ISO-8859-15). Choose the same name as before. Result: The box warning about the existence of the file is open and strange characters appear in the place of the file name. See this image: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=142487 This occurs in at least two different machines running Ubuntu Jaunty, one 32 bits and other 64 bits, both of them with full up-to-date systems. It seems that I have the gtk-2.18 engine installed, since the package name is gtk2-engines 2.18.1-0ubuntu1
We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla. If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/new
