Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Applications AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: publio.escipion.el.africano@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 openSuSE 12.1 x86_64 Final, KDE 4, kwrite: identification of character codification is broken in kwrite, and it is no use to try to change it manually. For instance, a file identified by file command as an "UTF-8 Unicode English text", but containing in fact Spanish text (an user language profile is Spanish, also), is rendered as iso 8859-15. As the file is utf-8, "apología" is rendered as "apologÃa", &c. User can not tweak this behavior through Tools Menu > Codification, because the behavior is fixed, although Preferences Menu > Set up Editor > Open/Save item > General tab stated as default codification "Unicode (UTF-8)", automatic codification detection, and as alternative codification "West Europe (ISO 8859-15)". Disabling the automatic detection does not work either. There is only one way to workaround this issue: it is needed to disable the automatic detection and to set "Unicode (UTF-8)" as alternative codification too. Then, the document will be rendered properly, and also will work tweaking this behavior through Tools Menu > Codification. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See above. 2. 3. Actual Results: See above. Expected Results: I think it is not a big issue, but it would be desirable that automatic detection of the codification works, or, at least, that the user easily set it up. None, except that (so far as I have experienced till now) 12.1 seems to be the best release since 10.2.
