Bug Description
Binary package hint: gedit
1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10
2) apt-cache policy gedit
gedit:
Installed: 2.30.3-1ubuntu1
Candidate: 2.30.3-1ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 2.30.3-1ubuntu1 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
apt-cache policy kwrite
kwrite:
Installed: 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu1 0

3) What I expected to happen is when I typed the following at the Terminal:
sudo lshw > info.txt
then try to open the file (please see attached info.txt) with gedit it automatically detects the encoding and opens it.
4) What happened instead is that I get a GUI prompt (please see attached screenshot.png) where no matter how many times I click the Retry button, it does not open. However, if I click the drop down box and choose Western (ISO-8859-15) then click the Retry button, it opens. However, kwrite opens the same file no problem without any GUI prompt about encoding.
