"Apply changes" fails when files contains variables/classes with non-standard (non-7-bit) names Follow
I am using the latest version of Rider.
I am working on an older project. It builds with no problems, and runs perfectly. When I do changes in code and try to 'apply changes' it fails and claims that many files/classes/variables have errors because these have norwegian characters in them.

Hello,
Could you please reproduce the issue, collect the logs via Help | Collect Logs and attach them with a new issue on our tracker so we could take a closer look. Thank you in advance!
I am not quite able to reproduce this in a test/separate project.
However, I think I have figured out the problem.
This project is very old, with files up to 10-12 years old. The file encodings seems to be a mixture of UTF-8, iso-8859-1 and windows-1252 throughout different files.
This seems to confuse Rider when I have set one encoding. Rider builds it perfectly fine (I guess it is msbuild that builds?) but when I try to apply changes which makes Rider do some kind of 'hot swapping' of the files ( - or however it works - ) Rider fails to detect that it's not UTF-8 (it might be iso-8859-1, windows-1252 or whatnot) and then Rider doesn't understand the files.
If I choose to convert the file to UTF-8 and save it as that, and then press 'apply changes', it then goes on to the next file with similar error.
Then I repeat this for the next file, and so on and so on. Seems I have to do this for all files with errors.
It's is only the files that have norwegian characters in them where there are variations in the encoding that pops up in the error list when I try to 'Apply Changes'
