Bug ID: 437219
Summary: utf8 bom problem
Product: kate
Version: 21.04.1
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When i edit and save a file that was ASCII, for example windows batch file or
CMakeLists.txt file, kate save it as UTF-8 with BOM, not ASCII, then for
example, cmake is sensitive to being ASCII only, it give errors when it sees
UTF-8 BOM in the file, that's how i noticed this behavior of kate, batch files
also give error on the first line of the file becaues of this.
There is a temporary workaround for this problem, every time i open ASCII file,
i had to uncheck "Add Byte Order Mark" from the "Tools" menu, if i forget to
uncheck, i have no idea which files i broke before they give errors.
Kate also needs ASCII encoding in top of the Encodings list, so to be not
confused with UTF-8 or not.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an ASCII file
2. Edit
3. Save
OBSERVED RESULT
File is saved with UTF-8 BOM
EXPECTED RESULT
File should be saved with same encoding as it was previously, at least if BOM
is not present before opening the file, it should not be present after saving
too
