Here the aditional screenshot for internal diff with two files with different cyrillic encodings. First file is CP866 (DOS), second - CP1251. The left panel is set to CP866 encoding, the right to CP1251, and the external diff utility is set to CP1251 encoding for compare.
You can see that CP866 work well, earlier in this report is screenshots where you can see that mac-cyrillic also work well. Problem is with CP1251.
At this screenshot you can see right encoding at the left (CP866 source and left panek set to CP866), wrong at the right in second file. At the right the first file is CP866, The second is CP1251, the panel is set to CP1251 encoding. SO the encoding of the first file (CP866) in right panel (which set to CP1251) is incorrect - as may be, but the second file is CP1251, but it also incorrect.
Also for compare at the same screenshot you can see external diff utility with second (CP1251 file) in it, here you can see text without any errors.
