Notepad bug makes it unusable

[Guest]

I didn't even know you could report a bug. Thanks for the link.

Notepad is so unusable for me that I wasn't trying to figure if the same
goes for most people. I use Notepad to save helpful command prompt commands
and for links with associated notes. For example, I may have a link to a
website and to my local copy of it and a excerpt from it, then a line of
hyphens and another similar entry. I'll update it once in a while, save it,
and want to copy one of the links to the address bar and find it's truncated.

It doesn't do what people would expect it to do, and by "people" I
mean
everyone. It adds characters and messes up some copy/pastes and gets
the
display wrong. The fix is easy. Such a problem would be fixed in any
commercial product that's sold seperetely and even in donationware
that's
still supported. Essentially, Microsoft is no longer supporting
Notepad if
they don't even lift a finger to fix this.

Sorry, I'm an alien from Alpha Centauri so I don't qualify as Earth
"people". I have yet to be bothered by this visual-only artifact.

I have worked at several computer-industry companies (hardware or
software producers) with lots of developer and QA folks and never
heard anyone there complain about this artifact. They must all be
aliens, too.

Stop confusing what is the OS that you purchase and all the fluffware
that comes included with it. Nowadays even the Linux distros come
riddled with fluffware, too.

I think you're wasting your time. Barry is on a mission: He believes
that he has found a bug and he will not rest until everyone agrees
with him that Microsoft is doing a lousy job by not fixing it for him.
There is no point in confusing him with facts.

I have to admit, that I was starting to wonder if the OP was some kind of
troll.
