[Subclipse-users] UTF-16 text files not always handled properly in compare editor

Eclipse : 3.4.1
Subclipse: 1.4.7

Hi!

I have an UTF-16 text file in the project.

Opening and editing it in Eclipse works fine.
In the Synchronize view, I can double click the file under Outgoing
and the compare editor opens , again correct (showing that I edited
one line and added a new line).

But after commiting and doing a diff in history, it is wrong. Details:
 - in Project Explorer view right click the file, select Team/Show History
 - in the History view select two versions of the file, right click
   and select Compare...
 - in the Compare dialog leave option as they are and click OK

Result: the compare editor show the contents, but fails to detects it is UTF-16.
So it shows a square character between each real character.
Basically it treats it as a 8 bit file instead of 16 bit.

As it works fine in the Synchronize view, I guess it is just a small
bug in file format detection and hope it is easily fixed.

Regards,
David
