Steps to reproduce:
1. Start with a file whose EOL is “LF Only (UNIX)”
2. Perform Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-V

Unexpected result:
* EOL becomes “CR+LF (Windows)”

Expected result:
* EOL stays “LF Only (UNIX)”

Hi atnak.

I don’t know details, but perhaps check out if this help entry will solve your issue:

EmEditor Help – Dialog Boxes – Configuration Properties > General tab

Preserve (CR/LF) returns on Clipboard check box
If this box is checked, the return methods will be preserved at copy and paste.
For instance, the LF only returns will be copied and pasted to another location with LF only returns.

Preserve (CR/LF) returns on Clipboard check box

Thanks for the advice. However, I don’t think this helps.

Alternate steps to clarify the problem:
1. “Tools > Customize… > Status > Return Method” should be checked
2. Create a new document and type “a<Enter>b”
3. Save the document, selecting “LF Only (UNIX)” as the Return Method in the Save dialog.
4. Notice the Status Bar shows “LF Only (UNIX)”
5. Ctrl-A to Select All, then type “c” (or alternatively, hit Ctrl-C to Copy followed by Ctrl-V to Paste)
6. Notice the Status bar now shows “CR+LF (Windows)” <– Problem here

The Status bar now shows “CR+LF (Windows)” .
For me only if working on the first line.
And only until I press Enter one time after the ‘c’, then it switch to “LF Only (UNIX)”

Tested with 13.0.5 portable.

The “Tools > Customize… > Status > Return Method” has nothing to do with this situation at all as it seems.

Maybe I just don’t get it right. Please wait for Yutaka.

Oops, an amendment: You need to close & reopen the document between steps 3 and 4. Then, it’s not temporary.

The “Tools > Customize… > Status > Return Method” has nothing to do with this situation at all as it seems.

It has nothing to do with the cause. But you’ll be hard pressed to see the problem if you can’t see what the Return Method is in the status bar.

Hello atnak,

Please go to Configuration Properties, File tab, New Files button, and select “LF Only (UNIX)” from the Return Method. This should resolve the issue.

Thanks!

Please go to Configuration Properties, File tab, New Files button, and select “LF Only (UNIX)” from the Return Method.

Strange, I can’t get this to resolve the issue.

I’m using “EmEditor Professional (64-bit) Version 13.0.6” and my system’s default encoding is “日本語 (シフトJIS)”.

Properties for Current Configuration (txt) shows:

• New Files… > Return Method: LF Only (UNIX)
• Saving… > Return Method: No Change

My test file is “Untitled.txt” (Return Method = LF Only (UNIX)) containing:

a
b
c

Important: EmEditor should be closed once after creating this file before attempting to reproduce.

To reproduce, I simply open “Untitled.txt” from Explorer, check that the status bar shows “LF Only (UNIX)”, then hold down Ctrl and type A, C, V.

Hi atnak,

I reproduce the issue if the “Preserve (CR/LF) returns on Clipboard” check box on the General tab of configuratoin properties is not checked. However, I think newlines should always be LF even if this checkbox is not set. I will look into this issue.

Thanks!
Yutaka
