In the split version, is the designer accessible? Can we read the preview
split pain?

You should be able to start editing any XAML file by just hitting Enter on
it in the Solution Explorer.
Visual Studio's default behavior is to open XAML files in "Split View",
which visually splits the document in half, giving a preview/design view of
the document in the top half and the flat XAML code in the bottom half.
You can change this behavior by going into Tools\Options, heading to the
bottom of the list for XAML Designer\General and changing the "Default
document view" (shortcut D) to either Source View (which will give you just
the XAML text representation) or Design View (which gives you the visual
preview/design view).
To answer the question about encoding in the Open With dialog, as far as I
know, the defaults are the ones that do *NOT* say "with encoding". I'm not
actually sure the difference between the two. I generally don't use the Open
With dialog and I tend to ask folks when they need it. just for my own
education. I'm hoping the above instructions on how to choose between the
document views should make it so you don't need to use the Open With
experience any more.
Let me know if this solves your issues.
