(XP) Nope can't get it to do that.
Doesn't do it for me either.
ok, try this document.
Open it up, place your cursor somewhere, and save it. Watch the cursor.

Becuase my HTML/PHP/MySQL teacher uses a laptop and a projector. Every time he tries to save a document he touches the touchpad, and he doesn't even notice it. And the cursour moves on the screen. Then he starts to type, and the document always gets screwed up...:D....

I'm pretty sure I'm not doing that... I have an external mouse. :DQuote:

This happens at my work PC too :eek:
Does it jump like a frog...:eek:
I tried that file too and its OK on my PC at work (win2000).
OK, OK
One last shot at this:
Open up notepad, and save it somewhere.
Type sdlkfjsadlfk, and copy it. Then start pasting it, paste it several times. Just press Ctrl+V, and hold it for a couple seconds.
Now, Click File>Save, and watch the cursor carefully.
Well?
(crosses fingers)
Ohhhh my god...now I see what you meen....I actually nearly moved....or that is it blinked....but I guess that is normal...something you not are at the moment...:D
notepad doesnt seem to be written by the brightest..
open a large text file and do a replace all, replacing 'e' with 'r'
see how it manually runs through the document making the changes lol

In Windows XP, open up notepad, and click on "View". Note how the "status bar" option is grayed out? What on earth is that for anyways?

i noticed an oddity, a reply email for a thread that's 10 months old :wave:
didn't move for me, on an XP laptop!

Well, I didn't get the odity when I tryed back then. But I am writing in Notepad now, and I got it, and just wanted to tell Mendhak that he is not the one that is nuts here...;)
You mean I'm not the only one who's nuts here. :afrog:
We're talking about notepad.exe, not the other one. :DQuote:

Who cares about the cursor jumping back anyway :confused:
Those of us who write HTML or ASP or other similar text-intensive activities in notepad. :wave:
Boring sods :lol:
what is the other one? aren't they the same?
WordPad??? :confused:
that would be the third one, i suppose.
What are you waffling on about :confused: :confused:
the three editors that I know about are notepad, wordpad, and edit
nothing about a different one - notepad.exe it's the same as notepad.
NotePad = Laptop?????
