I Steps: Go to the attached reduction Click on first link and observe the behavior Click on second link and observe the behavior.

If the txt file is saved as ANSI with non-ASCII characters; Safari downloads the file. If the text file is saved as UTF8 or saved as ANSI with only English content; Safari opens the file directly in the browser. IV Other browsers: IE7: ok FF: ok Opera: not ok V Nightly tested: 30628

Confirmed, but only on Windows. Webkit on Mac OS X 10.5 works as expected - opens both text files inside browser window.

I seem to hit this all the time. It's really annoying.
