OK, I wasn't sure what the problem actually was from your description, so I downloaded your abc.txt file and tried it myself. On Windows 7, gvim 7.3.822, with: gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE :set enc=utf-8 :set fencs=ucs-2 :e abc.txt I would expect, from :help 'fileencodings', that Vim would set 'fenc' to an empty string and try to read the file in the utf-8 encoding (falling back to the 'encoding' option). Instead, I get a CONVERSION ERROR message and fenc is set to ucs-2. If I use :e ++enc=utf-8 abc.txt, then the file loads correctly. So 'fileencodings' is not working as documented when no encodings are valid for the file. I tried again, with 'fencs' set to "ucs-2,utf-8,latin1" which should definitely succeed. It should first try ucs-2, then try utf-8 and succeed. If utf-8 had not succeeded, it should fall back to latin1. Instead, I see the same result: a CONVERSION ERROR message and fenc is now ucs-2. I did not try your patch, but I agree this is a bug and can readily reproduce it on my system. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
