Package:           kwrite
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The kate/kwrite file dialog allows you to select an encoding different from the locale when opening a file. However, when saving a file, this encoding is replaced by the default encoding of the locale, resulting in loss of information. 

The save-as dialog has an encoding button -- but this is also always reset to the locale encoding.

Kate/Kwrite should remember which encoding the file was opened with/saved as -- and use that when saving the file.
