Interesting Notepad BUG

[Mr. Vista // Vishal Gupta]

Guys!

Today I found a BUG in Notepad, I have checked it in XP as well as in Vista
and its working in both of them.

Open Notepad and enable "Status Bar" from "View -> Status Bar". If this
option is disabled, then first uncheck "Format -> Word Wrap" option and now
enable Status Bar again.

Now open any existing text file (Yeah, you hv to open an already saved file
to check this BUG) and put your cursor to any line, you'll see its location
in Status Bar.

e.g. we assume that you put the cursor at column 3 of Line 3, then it'll
show "Ln 3, Col 3" in Status Bar.

OK, fine then whats the BUG? Now press <Ctrl>+S or Choose "File -> Save" and
look at the Status Bar. VOILLA, it'll show "Ln 1, Col 1" irrespective of the
actual Line and column Number, that was "Ln 3, Col 3" in our case.

Sometimes you may hv to press <Ctrl>+S twice to re-create this BUG.

So the BUG is whenever you save an existing file, Notepad will show "Ln 1,
Col 1" in Status Bar and it'll be corrected when you'll move the cursor.

Since you're an MVP, I'm sure you have contacts in the Windows dev groups
and can mention this to them. Not sure what purpose this has in a public
newsgroup designed for technical support.

Eh. I'm a woman, but would much rather be a "guy" in slang - "gal" sounds
dated, and somehow a bit condescending. Perhaps that's just me.

Oh, crap, now you have that song going through my head. I'll have to think
hard about "My Sharona" to drive it out. "My Sharona" cures most tune
wedgies.

It's most useful. Alternatively known as "Earworm."

Aww, it's so repetitive and innocuous it usually stops cycling through your
synapses quickly.
