Can you check with the debug switch what zim thinks the encoding is ?

This is not a bug, but a MS Windows feature. Windows has the habit of 
identifying windows by there executable instead of by window properties 
(like on linux desktop). As you can imagine this approach is limitting 
for interpreter based programs where the executble is a generic for 
multiple instances.

Feel free to open a bug report at microsoft.com though ;)
