Possible EOL Conversion Persistence Bug

Scott Sumner

How do you add “new domains” to the list in this file? If you use the normal (copy and) paste mechanism then Scintilla will, at paste time, convert any inconsistent line-endings to the current type. Or do you do something else? AFAIK there are no current bugs along these lines involving line-endings.

I manually press the Enter key on the keyboard to generate the new line and then manually enter the domains. I very rarely paste the domains on the blank line.

Can you go to the ? menu in N++ and do Debug Info... and paste the results here…

Scott, do you have any other ideas? I appreciate your responses so far!

Sorry, I was away for a few days…

My first thought upon seeing your debug info is that you have a lot of plugins. One (or some quirky interaction) may be causing your problem. If I were you, I might try either a) removing them all and adding back in one at a time, checking for the issue in between the additions, or b) removing them one at a time and testing for this EOL weirdness as you do that.

I’m running into the same issue. I have disabled all plugins and have tried both Edit > EOL Conversion > Linux (LF) and manually replacing using search and replace.

@Bill-Justesen , @whitegryphon

With the confirmation provided by whitegryphon perhaps it is best to open an issue on this if one isn’t already. Will one of you do that?

@Bill-Justesen and @whitegryphon ,

Please try the following experiment.
0) Open Notepad++ without plugins

New File
View > Show Symbol > Show End of Line
Edit > EOL Conversion > Unix (LF)
Enter a couple lines of text
Save
Close file
Open File
Check if it’s still Unix (LF), and whether it’s still showing just LF for the EOL character

Bill Justesen

@PeterJones, I tried your suggestion and I also did it again without the symbols showing for EOL. Everything seems to be okay. I have an auto-update set for Notepad++ through Ninite but I noticed the version hasn’t changed. What did change, however, was an update to FileZilla.

@whitegryphon, try checking out the issue now after updating FileZilla, if that is what you are using. Mine appears to have been fixed with the latest version…
