Text encoding mixup when comparing to file

[xerces8]

If I have some text in the clipboard and then right click a file in the Project Explorer and select Compare With / Clipboard, then the file is interpreted with wrong text encoding.

For example if I have a file with cp1250 encoding, containing the text "oče", then in the compare window it will be shown as "o�e" ("o?e").

If I open the file for editing and right click in the editor (over the text, without selecting any text) and select Compare With / Clipboard, then the problem does not happen.

But if I select some text in this file (in the editor) and compare to clipboard, then again the text is shown as "o�e" ("o?e").

Using v2.6.1 in Eclipse 4.6.2 with Oracle Java 1.8.0_121-b13 on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

Please set workspace default encoding to utf-8. Since clipboard can contain anything, the clipboard text is evaluated with workspace default settings for encoding.

It is already set to utf-8.
