1/ the new "open" dialog window is perfect, the encoding selector is exactly what I needed, except it's a unsorted, see attached screenshot for an example. I suspect this may be GTK's fault, though.
It is sorted, but in a strange way. The list is sorted alphabetically by the name of the encoding and the list is displayed from left to write. So the first item is at row 0, column 0, the second at row 0, column two and so on. Perhaps we will change this.
Ah, I hadn't noticed this. So it's not unsorted at all, it's not sorted the way I expected it to be :) Sorting by english name of encoding (for example "Western"), since this is what is displayed first, may be better. That's what I expected (and that's what kate does on Linux).
4/ however editing texts in right-to-left languages like arabic doesn't work. Geany seems able to add or remove characters correctly, but the cursor is always displayed at one end of the arabic text line, not where it actually is (i.e. not where text is added if the user starts to add text). The same behaviour exists in hebrew.
Did you try whether it works with Scite? Sorry, can't say very much about this at the moment, never played with RTL languages.
Either I'm doing something wrong, or Scite cannot display Arabic (on Windows, at least). Geany++ !
Best,
