Based on the OP's experience, it seems this is not true. Also, the doc I can find indicates that the default is ASCII (and was latin-1 in the past, which is what the OP seems to be seeing). But, you're a lot more experienced in Python than I am (I never wrote a single line of Python, basically), so maybe there's another explanation for the OP's problem? > Also functions tracing a possibly error might see a different line-offset > that way - just an abstract reasoning so far. This function is used to send a string (typically extracted from the region) not a file, so the offsets have always been wrong anyway (except when the region happens to start on the first line). By, yes, as it happens, the patch I installed does include some other change to try and translate the offsets appropriately. Stefan
