in fairness the old XP/Server 2003 notepad would frequently freak out on me and suddenly remove all <CR> (or <LF>, I don't really know) from a file I was editing (not a unix or mac generated file, so it was not a <CR><LF> issue.) That would force me to quit and reload the file and start my edits over again. This was almost always on servers, so I never bothered to find a fix or workaround, but it made me never trust notepad. So old notepad sucked, and apparently new notepad sucks.
- nyanpasu64 4y agoWindows 10 notepad was good for a brief glorious period, they fixed mixing status bar with line wrap, they made files with LF only render as multiple lines (don't know what happens when you save them). I have no plans to move off Ameliorated 10 to Windows 11 with their botched Notepad, slow store apps, and reduced ability to install explorer and taskbar customizations (though 7 already required patching out signature checks, and 8 through 10 progressively broke Aero Glass and widget controls patching).
