Description Michael Valenta CLA 2010-08-20 15:24:40 EDT 
When ReaderCreator was added to Compare/Core (see bug 263943), the refresh method in FileDiffResult was broken w.r.t alternate encodings since the utility method called to get the charset only knows about IEncodedStorage.

Patch that fixes the problem

I've attached a patch that fixes the issue. It would be good if we could get this into 3.6.x. If I have time in the next few days, I'll create a test case for this so we don't regress before the next chance I have to adopt the fix (i.e. we're on 3.5 now and I don't know when we'll be moving to 3.6).

Updated patch with a test and a fix for an NPE

I've added a test and fixed an NPE that was revealed by running the tests.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
