Comment 119 for bug 984785

  I discovered how to reproduce the bug with Gedit and Firefox :
- Create a text file, and save it with this encoding type :
"Occidental (ISO-8859-15)"
- Type several lines in it. Save it again.
- Go to a web page with a certain encoding, UTF8 compatible, but not compatible with "Occidental (ISO-8859-15)".
- Copy a few lines including, for instance, go-to-note, or (french) "puce" (you know, that sort of symbol you can put, instead of a number or a letter, at the beginning of a line or of a paragraph, when listing items). (Sorry for my rusty english and the lack of precision).
-5) Then go back to your text file : paste the formerly copied lines from the web page, but NOT at the beginning.
- Have a look at the clock on your pc, memorize the time. Try to save your file : you get normally an error message, pointing the different encoding types. (You could save the copied text if you created for it a new UTF8 encoded file. It is not necessary for this experience.)

  Here you are ! the new .goutputstream-XYZ123 file already exists, not empty.
- Gedit, "open file", and you can see, in the dialog box, your new .goutputstream-XYZ123 file, dated when you tried unsuccessfully to save your txt file.
- If you open it, you'll find only the first "Occidental (ISO-8859-15)" lines of your file, but not the end : the saving stopped when encountering different encoding.
  In order to get a 0 ko .goutputstream-XYZ123 file, just do the same process, but, at the 5th step, paste at the very beginning.
