I don’t want notepad to remember my previous session so I changed the “When Notepad starts” setting to “Start new session and discard unsaved changes”. Pretty quickly I noticed what seems like an embarrassing bug.
Start notepad then do the following:
- New file
- Type “abc” – note the “X” on the file changes to “” to indicate unsaved changes
- Save file – “” changes back to “X”
- Type “def” – “X” changes back to “” because “def” is not on the file on disk
- Undo, “def” disappears, “” incorrectly remains…
- Redo, “def” reappears, “” incorrectly changes back to “X”
- Close file. No prompt to save unsaved “def”. Reopen file. “def” is gone
Can others reproduce? Am I missing something? Has anyone seen acknowledgment of the issue from Microsoft?
