But it's true that notepad seems quite broken at the moment:
- if I pass a filename on the command line notepad
crashes on startup... but not always.
- selecting a section of text with the mouse does
not work
- selecting with shift+arrow keys does not work
- backspace works but not del
- notepad always believes I have modified the file
- the dialog telling me that the file was modified
contains a random character after the question mark: Would you like to save the changes ? u
search does not work
etc.
I have been told that the problem is that notepad
should use an edit control instead of trying to do everything itself.
It is difficult not to notice :-)
Also it has never been tested on Windows and has probably been broken by various 'fixes'.
It looks like it was developed on Windows. The directory contains makefile for the free Windows toolchain lcc. In my patch I added a makefile for cygwin.
Maybe I should enter a new bug report? Unfortunately I don't have time to go in and look at it myself.
I will look at notepad more closely later.
