Scratch editor erases document content before it opens it

[Humberto F. da Luz Jr.]

For some reason when I open .tex files scratch erases its content, saves it, then a blank document is open.

Files with other extensions were open correctly by my experiments.

Maybe this is a file encoding related issue. The encoding of the files that cause this issue:

file --mime acronimos.tex
acronimos.tex: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

The encoding of the files that were open correctly is us-ascii.

A sample file is attached.

I can reproduce this. Terminal shows this:

It happened to me creating an 'sqlite' file in class. My document was blank, despite that, Scratch showed the data.

And when you open a file that cannot be well processed by Scratch it erases all the content without asking anything.
