Hi Andreas,

After you close Geany, can you post the line from your geany.conf file
that begins FILE_NAME and contains the filename of the problem file so
we can tell if the error is in saving or loading.  Also please post
the line pref_wditor_default_open_encoding.

Thanks
Lex

(or the whole geany.conf if you remove or don't mind sharing any
personal details in it)
