    Thumbs up The Notepad Save oddity [It's a bug!!]

    When saving something in notepad sometimes, does the cursor jump back a few characters? (This happens generally in XP, and sometimes in 2000)

    Doesn't do it for me either.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    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.......

    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)

    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

    You are not right about anything. You are wrong about everything. And I am right about everything. So that meens that you never get a "driver license" for computers.....stop using them before you kill anyone with it...

    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.
