Actually I don't even see an option to save file in a selected encoding in mousepad. Aleksandar Kostadinov wrote on 03/19/18 10:33: > I'm using leafpad for simple text file editing.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I am leaning towards retiring it for two reasons - (1) there are build problems. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=24810848 (2) We are going to run into bugs such as this - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1563608 The build problem may be fixable in the short term but given that there is no upstream we have nowhere to turn to in case of bigger problems (like (2)). Are there any suggestions for alternatives that are better than mousepad? We can look into including that in the Xfce spin along with or preferably, instead of mousepad?
