Latest Windows 10 Update vs. Notepad
I use Notepad everyday, all through the day, consistently since the Windows
9x days of lore and legend - back when it was the wild and wooly web, when you had only the two knobs, horizontal and vertical, to turn in order to make images on the screen and if you made a mistake, you had to turn it upside down and shake it to start all over... or so it seems... anyway, As of Windows 10 update to Version 1809, OS Build 17763.1; and its subsequent "fix" to Version 1809, OS Build 17763.55, Notepad's code got corrupted. With Notepad's Format set to Word Wrap, Randomly, when I copy text to Notepad, at the line break, it will randomly cut a word in the interior of the word and continue the word on the next line. Any attempt to correct it and reconnect the word on the appropriate line results in a bevy of cascading format errors which requires a manual edit of the entire paragraph, line by line. This has to be traceable to some minor change some programmer made to the Notepad code in this latest major update from v1803 to v1809, right? Can somebody close to Mr. Bill Gates ask him to correct this as soon as possible because it sure is costing me a lot of time? (I can't believe NOBODY else has experienced this boogaboo... but perhaps Google is complicit in yet another #Globalist coverup to divert the collective American attention to a non-existant "Russian collusion" delusion whilst Google is helping the Chinese and Latin American countries invade and control our country using weak-minded #Democrats in political positions to pave our ultimate demise while they chase their ephemeral 'personal power complex[es]'...) Notepad users, UNITE! This is full-on crisis mode. Thanks in advance. |

I think I reported on the new notepad changes, a few months ago, where Microsoft touted that they were 'fixing' the word wrap in Notepad. Googling for the release notes, some of these may help explain things: "Notepad getting huge improvements on windows 10 version 1809 (Zoom in/out, wrap-around, Bing search)" https://howtofixwindows.com/notepad-improvements-windows-10-version-1809/ What's new with Notepad in the Windows 10 October 2018 Update https://www.windowscentral.com/whats-new-notepad-windows-10-october-2018-update Windows 10 build 17713 Released with Big Notepad Updates https://windows101tricks.com/windows-10-build-17713-redstone-5/ Notepad getting huge improvements on windows 10 version 1809 http://www.technewborn.com/notepad-getting-huge-improvements-on-windows-10-version-1809/ The complete change log https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-october-2018-changelog https://pureinfotech.com/windows-10-redstone-5-version-1809-new-features/ https://pureinfotech.com/windows-10-build-17713/ etc. Gotta run, but I'm sure your source of ills is described therein. |

This tree chart doesn't delve that far. Microsoft's corporate report might have more in-depth tracing into their divisions and departments but I wasn't interested to check for Notepad when there are better 3rd party alternatives (e.g., Notepad++). |

I use Hub in Insider Edition, but I don't know if it is ready for your input on Release versions. Test and see. https://www.zdnet.com/article/window...ays-microsoft/ You can use Hub to report software problems. The hardest part of using it, is selecting a "category" to file the problem under. There never seems to be a correct category for stuff. Paul |

Can somebody close to Mr. Bill Gates ask him to correct this as soon as possible because it sure is costing me a lot of time? snipped the Google diatribe These are the changes to Notepad that I found: https://gizmodo.com/microsoft-notepa...ate-1827543753 You sure you are using Notepad and not WordPad? WordPad will [attempt to] retain formatting during a paste operation. NotePad will not. If you are copying from an HTML document (e.g., web page) then it likely has formatting code (HTML tags) that will get truncated or corrupted when pasted in WordPad (which is not an HTML editor nor can compensate for incomplete or missing HTML tags during a paste operation). You could use one of the myraid of CRC (cyclic redundancy check) tools to compute a hash of notepad.exe (the one in \windows\system32, not elsewhere) for 1809 and a prior version of Windows to see if it changed. https://www.windowscentral.com/windo...2018-changelog "Notepad now features Unix/Linus line endings (LF) and Macintosh line endings (CR.)" So, maybe now there's an option within Notepad on how it should handle linebreaks (CR LF versus just LF). Perhaps you are mixing pastes from Windows and Linux-originated files. Is the *source* (copy) just text or does it contain formatting? Is a Windows/DOS or Linux file? |

I asked in my other reply from just what source the OP was copying "text" (or what he thought was just text). |

You can actually use Win10 Notepad for "real work" now :-) Paul |
