[Bug 296378] [NEW] Regression: Kate in KDE 4 cannot read cp1255 text.

[dotancohen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kate

I have a text file created on MS Windows with Hebrew text. In KDE 3.x
when I open the file in Kate I get Gibberish as Kate assumes UTF-8 text.
However, I can manually change the encoding to cp1255 and then Kate
displays the file just fine.

In KDE 4.1 when I open the file in Kate I get the same Gibberish,
however, selecting cp1255 does not change the way that Kate displays the
file. I still get Gibberish.

Note that services such as http://gibberish.co.il cannot translate the
Gibberish that Kate produces as all the characters are identical. So
this could even be considered a dataloss situation.
