`Reopen with Encoding` is not working on VS Code Web - Insiders

[alefragnani]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: insiders.vscode.dev (Insiders Release)
• OS Version:Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Open insiders.vscode.dev 2.Open a file 3.Call Change File Encoding command OR Click in the Encoding Status Bar item 4.Select Reopen with Encoding 5.You will notice this error in Notification area: [object Event]

6. Looking at DevTools / Console, you will see this:

   workbench.web.api.js:788         
      Error: [object Event]
   at Object.b [as ensureError] (loader.js:259:22)
   at i._createLoadError (loader.js:1511:33)
   at i._onLoadError (loader.js:1522:30)
   at d (loader.js:1668:27)
   at Object.errorback (loader.js:1688:25)
   at e.triggerErrorback (loader.js:635:36)
   at loader.js:622:151
   at HTMLScriptElement.d (loader.js:658:17)

The same happens not only in the browser (insiders.vscode.dev) but also if you install it as PWA

The default encoding in VS Code is UTF-8, and the error occurs while opening not only Windows 1252 but also UTF-8 files.

Thank you

Weird, but it seems it was not necessary.

I was going to test your suggestion, but the error stopped. Probably because of the restarts/reopenings (both on browser and PWA)

Thank you

BTW, I just noticed a delay for the Syntax Highlight (md, js, html) to work in Insiders, both on web and PWA. It took about 10 min after the initial opening of an instance, before the text to be properly highlighted.

Is there any download required for that? Maybe AnyCode related?
