So I came across a weird bug today that no one else in my office is experiencing…
when I copy the content of a document in trading networks into notepad an extra carriage return is addeded to a line of wrapped text… however, there is no actual carriage return there… what is going on here?
We suspect it could be a windows bug, but no one is for sure… has anyone seen this?
I guess it’s not really all that important, but it would be interesting to figure out what is going on here…
Not a bug. Most editors, including Notepad, have a max line length that they can support. If the chunk of data that is pasted into the editor doesn’t have a line break before the max line limit is reached, the editor will insert one. Notepad’s limit is 1024. Some editors will warn you. Others do not. Try Wordpad. Or Notepad++ which is a free editor with no line length limit.
Actually, I was using notepad++, and if you press view → show → end ofline you can actually see where the carriage returns are. As I said before, my coworkers are using the same setup but are not getting the carriage return… Iteresting eh? maybe a windows thing?
