Problem with UTF files with polish characters

Adro R

Notepad++ 7.6.2

Scenario like this:

Create new file:
write: DĄBB
save as UTF, open, everything OK

Create new file:
write: DĄBBB
save as UTF,
open
file open as “Windows-1252” and presents “DÄ„BBB” and I can’t change codding into UTF

switch: “Coding in UTF without BOM” do nothing

But if I remove last “B” and save “DÄ„BB”
and open again file:
file open in UTF and presents : “DĄBB”

can someone help me ???

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Adro-R

unfortunately autodetect character encoding is broken since notepad++ version 7.6. and above.

currently it is necessary to:

go to settings > preferences > misc and disable auto detect character encoding as seen at the screenshot below.

settings - auto detect character encoding

then go to settings > preferences > new document and set your preferred default encoding to e.g utf-8, as seen at the screenshot below.

after that repeat your testing, it will work now.

note: a solving regression rollback fix for that issue has finally been commited and pushed to the pull requests, but it has currently been suspended by @donho for yet unknown reasons.
