 If you use StyledEdit to open a file that doesn't contain utf-8 but text
 encoded in a different charset, BTextView will get confused about the
 character widths and strange things will happen when editing near the
 bogus characters.

 Easily reproducible with /boot/system/data/Canna/default/default.canna.

 So I guess StyledEdit (and the file-based BTextView::SetText()) should
 check the file content for being valid utf-8 and complain if it isn't.
