@Vadim i've opened a similar bug #930601 you have already reviewed, and this one still have not been fixed by gnome (still wishlist). If i've not had such issue with 3.2.3 (it was able to open files without crashing, even sometimes it was complaining about binaries).
So 3.3.3 is again a regression; as this report is not about a specific gedit version but a generic issue, maybe you should not set it as "fixed". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75151 Title: Refuses to open files where the character encoding is not recognised Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: Confirmed Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In Gnome Gedit 2.16.1: When trying to open an ascii text file that, amongst useful mathematica code, has a few corrupt characters, gedit refuses to open the file and insists that the user select the correct character encoding. Desired behaviour: Open the slightly corrupt file for editing and display a special symbol where the characters have not been recognised using the current character encoding. A warning stating the character encoding was not recognised would be helpful but should not prevent gedit working.
