Misinterpreted file

[Robin Tremblay]

Hi,
I have a particular file generated on the mainframe (Z/OS). I found that the file is misinterpreted on recent notepad++ version (v6.7.8.2 in my case), it shows wrong characters and the number of characters is more than it should be. On an old version of notepad++ (v6.5.2 for instance), it works properly.

The following screenshot shows the difference between recent and old version : Capture

I made some tests and I finally found that the bug appears on notepad++ v6.5.5

To test it, use this file : File

Thanks for helping

N++ tries to autodetect the character encoding in version 6.5.5 and later. It can be turned off in Settings -> Preferences -> Misc.
