Bug#261622: gedit: Problem still exists

[Jonathan Champ]

Package: gedit
Version: 2.8.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #261622

I'm using the latest and the greatest, but this problem unfortunately still exists. Saving a file as 
UTF-16 results in a loss of all data beyond the first two bytes. A response would be very much 
appreciated.
