The probelm it happend when choose  the file witout BOM, close it, open it
outside Lazarus IDE, change the format to With BOM, lazarus remember file
ecnodeing that choose for the file, the file opened now as Without BOM but
bom bytes now loaded to the SynEdit.

I think Lazarus must check the BOM bytes even if choosed another format.
