Created attachment 139148 [details]
File with unrecognized character

Build ID: M20080911-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Open a file with a character in it that is not recognized in the character encoding. This character will show as the replacement character (diamond with question mark) in the editor.
2. Alter the file, save the file.
3. Instead of the original character, the replacement character is now saved. In the file contents, the character 0xFFBF is put instead of the original byte sequence.

Which encoding are you using? Using 3.5 RC4 I get a dialog preventing the save.
Comment 2 Sjoerd CLA 2009-06-15 07:10:10 EDT 
I use encoding UTF8. Behavior is the same in 3.4.2 (M20090211-1700) and Galileo RC3 (20090605-1616). I get no dialog. I simply press Ctrl-S to save.
