<![CDATA[Very small problem]]>There is a minor problem that only appears in the case of text in Cyrillic. For example, if you take Cyrillic text, where “Simple text” is selected by default and switch to another language (probably any language except MS-DOS Style) and select “Simple text” again, the text will return to its original form.
If you select “MS-DOS Style” and then “Plain Text”, then the original view can only be obtained by closing the file and opening it again.

Only after closing the file and opening it again, we get the view as in screenshot 01 (initial view).

Of course, the program itself should return the encoding to its original form, but… it doesn’t do this.

Sorry, I forgot to say about the version - 8.9.4

Initially encoding is UTF-8
In screenshots 02 and 03 it remains OEM-US, but after re-opening the file it is UTF-8. Then everything is fine.

If you select “MS-DOS Style”

MS-DOS style has magic associated with it, part of which deals with encoding.

Which version of Notepad++ are you using (? > Debug Info)? And what’s the encoding of the file before and after your procedure (shown in the bottom right of the status bar)?

Hmm… the manual’s “MS-DOS Style” notes may be out of date: it only mentions the OEM-US version; I believe that v8.7.4 changed that default to Unicode instead of OEM-US, but I’d have to experiment to be sure… I don’t have time to work on that today, but it’s on my TODO list now.
