(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?

Actually I think that frog = bug...
End of discussion...:D
Download .Net Framework 2.0 with *NEW* run-time De-Frogger.
I just got the same oddity as you did...:D...never seen it before...it IS a bug...:)
yeah it jumped back
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!
what have you got against Notepad?
didnt realize that it was so old or I wouldnt have posted. I havent been on the forum in a while for some reason.
Well he had to learn how to use the computer first. He spent the first five months trying to turn it on. Then he descovered electricity. :pQuote:

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?????
I get this all the time in Wordpad.... notably when I'm trying to work with a CSS file or an HTML file.
Tg
Notepad is the windows program :)
as is wordpad
I just broke notepad...try this:
1. Open up Notepad (not Wordpad, not Word or any other word processor)
2. Type in this sentence exactly (without quotes): "this app can break"
3. Save the file to your hard drive.
4. Close Notepad
5. Open the saved file by double clicking it.
w00t?
w00t? ;)
w00t!Quote:

no installation ,hassles free .it opens every possible programming language file!!
Who cares about notepad++. Notepad it self opens every programming language. What kind of argument is that...:)
well just try it out ,you will love it .the one thing i like abt np++ is that it has syntax highlighting and that really helps and also it doesnt have bugs like the one u mentioned !!
Do you not read the comments in Digg articles.Quote:

okay.. i dint grow up with emacs ;)
Me neither...;)
I grew up with Edlin. :)
I have Visual Studio. I don't need syntax highlighting in some other program, unless it's for PHP.
But then there's that addin for VS.
I fixed mine by Turning off "word wrap" in the Format menu. Then u can also enable the status bar that shows the numerical coordinates of the cursor. kinda like a built-in game of orienteering in windows.

There's what i consider a bug in word and in fact riched32.dll, which it uses.
change the properties of any letter in a word (say for example, bold the "o" in orwell. if you are cursoring through a word, it shows the properties of the letter behind the cursor instead of in front of it. Very counter-intuitive.
