I am not sure I understand nor agree why this is not a bug.

If a file that I know can be displayed properly is opened and it displays garbage because of it being opened with a wrong encoding, then I think that needs to be resolved. If the grounds for marking this bug as invalid is because it performs the same as other editors, then maybe we should take a good review of the other editors as well.

Can you please explain to me why the encoding cannot be detected? I understand that UTF-8 is like a standard and the sample.cpp file is probably encoded with another less standard encoding. Is there no way to detect the encoding except for manually selecting it?

Thanks.
