This statement also counts as a wishlist item, mind you.

> This is bug, not a wishlist.
Why? Gedit works fine, but generally lacks a feature to read user's mind… and, perhaps a way to tell it what code pages you normally use from within its preferences (something like editing the list in the open dialog), and, as mentioned in the ticket, an option to switch code pages on-the-fly. A missing, but desired feature, hence the wishlist status.

For those annoyed by the close-open-with-selected-encoding procedure:
Read comment #16. Its not an obvious fix, but please take a minute or
two to apply it, and you will probably be relieved from some extra
frustration.
