    The encoding of the properties file is different to expected ANSI.

     

    As a workaround I opened the file in Windows Notepad then from File menu Save As a different file name and change Encoding from UTF-8 to ANSI. Then reloading properties seems to be OK.

      Thank you for your answer.

      I already made this diagnostic. But if it works with a UTF-8 encoded file when I load the file manually, why doesn't it work when reloading ?

        I couldn't see any difference between load/reload properties.

        Could it be a second copy of the same file with hidden txt file extension? Notepad automatically added the txt extension so I saved as a different filename to make sure it was the right one.
