Yeah I think I'm just going to have to let this one go throught to GtkSourceView. I don't think reimplementing any of this is a sane choice for us. However, there is an open bug for allowing manual encoding selection (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760311), which would at least allow a workaround for the main problem here. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
