>Summary: Character Map 1.2 "Blocks:" dropdown menu always g

Initial Comment:
I cannot use the Character Map to input UTF-8, with the
exception of the first 256 characters of Unicode. The
dropdown menu to access further blocks of characters is
greyed out. That makes the Character Map useless.

Behavior is still the same (also same version of Character Map).

jEdit 4.3pre9
java 1.5.0

That is only a poor workaround, and at best a temporary
solution. Not only do I still have to type "Unicode" in the
"Encoding:" dropdown menu every single time I use the
Character Map, which is clumsy, but more importantly, it
makes no sense whatsoever for the "Blocks:" dropdown menu to
be greyed out when the encoding in the dropdown menu is a
Unicode encoding, which UTF-8 and UTF-16 (and probably any
encoding whose name begins with "UTF" or "UCS") are.

Use the 'unicode' encoding in the character map window (this
does not affect the buffer's on disk encoding!)

More details on the bug. There is a workaround. If I type in
"Unicode" in the "Encoding:" dropdown menu, the "Blocks"
dropdown menu gets enabled, and it appears to let me input
characters in the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode, as opposed to a
Unicode-based encoding like UTF-16.

What *should* happen is for the "Blocks:" dropdown menu to
be enabled when the encoding is UTF-8, UTF-16, or some other
Unicode encoding. *That* would be correct behavior.
