Bug or feature ?

Wolfgang S.

Hi,

I create with (windows) Notepad such a sourcecode:
…VALUES (‘DEBoardPageNames’, ‘1³2³3³4³5³6³7³8’);

Notepad++ 5.9 shows the file in the same way

Notepad++ 6.9.1 shows the file this way:
… VALUES (‘DEBoardPageNames’, ‘1???’); -> ForumSoftware Promlem: You should see 7 questionmarks!

When I save this file with Notepad++ 6.9.1
and I reload it with Notepad (windows), it has been changed into this:
… VALUES (‘DEBoardPageNames’, ‘1???’); -> ForumSoftware Promlem: You should see 7 questionmarks!

Is this a Bug ?

Thanky You
Wolfgang

Hello @Wolfgang-S.,

I assume this is an encoding/charset issue.

Would you mind doing the following?

Settings->Preferences->Misc
uncheck autodetect character encoding

Cheers

Hi Claudia,
this solves the issue. So it seems it is a feature.

This caused quite a riot here in the company. 3 People verifying a half day sourcecodes delivered the last two years whether source code has been changed unwanted. (No problem found).

Thank you for you Answer.
