(Get the code!)
I just tested opening the gb180130.txt file in oneiric alpha3. Here are my findings:
For auto detect of a new encoding to work in gedit, one must do two things:
* Add the encoding in gedit (Open > Character Encodings > Add/Remove > add desired encoding)
- Note that after this step the value of Charect Encoding is still "Automatically Detected". This will not work to open the file yet.
* Set Character Encoding specifically to the encoding you added, and open the file
After this, Character Encoding of "Automaically Detect" works.
So, perhaps the fix is to change the Character Encoding widget to select the encoding that one just added (instead of remaining at "Automatically Detected") for this ONE open and then, perhaps, revert to "Automatically Detected".
