when I set the encoding to UTF-8 shouldn't this also work?
If the file is a perfectly complying UTF-8 yes, but IIRC setting the force option on the open dialog also minimises the checking to maximise the chances of the file opening, for Geany it must convert to UTF-8 but doesn't need to meet all the Unicode rules for "validity". See wikipedia about UTF-8 validation and illegal values, maybe your file has one of those.
Geany tries its best to handle various encodings, but in the end its not an encoding converter, its a program text editor and program text is ... well text, so Unicode. There are specific applications that handle encoding conversions and handling.
AFAIR recent files can't be disabled, why?
