Non non-ISO-8859-1 characters are not auto-escaped [message #709065]

According to the Eclipse 3.7 release notes:

Quote:

The properties file editor now auto-escapes typed and pasted non-ISO-8859-1 characters and shows a hover containing the real text if the underlying text contains special characters like \uHHHH, \t, or \n.

However, I have some properties files which I'm editing. Everytime that I write a strange character like ¿ or ó it doesn't get auto-escaped. It stays the same as it was written or pasted. According to the properties, the file codification is ISO-8859-1 (determined from content). Is there anything that I must do to force it to escape strange characters?

These 2 are ISO-8859-1 characters, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1. Hence they are not escaped.

Ok, anyway when I print a message gotten from the properties file I see strange characters unless I escape this...
