Bug ID: 366727
Summary: Bad UTF-8 reported, but it's not true
Product: kate
Version: 16.04
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: encoding
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: adr.fant...@gmail.com
When opening the attached powerinfo.txt file, kate reports:
The file /home/adriano/powerinfo_fix.txt was opened with UTF-8 encoding but
contained invalid characters.
It is set to read-only mode, as saving might destroy its content.
Either reopen the file with the correct encoding chosen or enable the
read-write mode again in the tools menu to be able to edit it.
However, the file has been tested according to the two top answers of this
stack overflow question:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/6516/filtering-invalid-utf8
(grep and iconv method)
And no non-UTF-8 items are found.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached file
2. Check file with iconv or grep
Actual Results:
File is reported to contain non-UTF-8 characters.
Expected Results:
Warnings for non-UTF-8 chars should not appear.
