Could people experiencing this bug please specify which of these three error messages you receive when you try to open your file (from "gedit- io-error-message-area.c"):
gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding. Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. Select a character encoding from the menu and try again. There was a problem opening the file %s. The file you opened has some invalid characters. If you continue editing this file you could make this document useless. You can also choose another character encoding and try again. Could not open the file %s using the %s character encoding. Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. Select a different character encoding from the menu and try again. And, if possible, attach the file in question to this bug report. As far as I can tell this type of error only happens when the file contains two null chars in a row (0x0000). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75151 Title: Refuses to open files where the character encoding is not recognised -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
