I have cyrillic characters, what are your settings for encoding detection ?
Nothing special. Encoding results in Windows 1252. See attachment...
No issues on my windows 7 vm with latest trunk and wx2.8.

Encoding when opening files is "WINDOWS-1252" as fallback encodig.
Try to detect latin-2 encoding is unchecked.
