Eh. I'm a woman, but would much rather be a "guy" in slang - "gal" sounds
dated, and somehow a bit condescending. Perhaps that's just me.

Guys!

Today I found a BUG in Notepad, I have checked it in XP as well as in
Vista and its working in both of them.

Open Notepad and enable "Status Bar" from "View -> Status Bar". If
this option is disabled, then first uncheck "Format -> Word Wrap"
option and now enable Status Bar again.

Now open any existing text file (Yeah, you hv to open an already
saved file to check this BUG) and put your cursor to any line,
you'll see its location in Status Bar.

e.g. we assume that you put the cursor at column 3 of Line 3, then
it'll show "Ln 3, Col 3" in Status Bar.

OK, fine then whats the BUG? Now press <Ctrl>+S or Choose "File ->
Save" and look at the Status Bar. VOILLA, it'll show "Ln 1, Col 1"
irrespective of the actual Line and column Number, that was "Ln 3,
Col 3" in our case.

Sometimes you may hv to press <Ctrl>+S twice to re-create this BUG.

So the BUG is whenever you save an existing file, Notepad will show
"Ln 1, Col 1" in Status Bar and it'll be corrected when you'll move
the cursor. Regards,
Vishal Gupta
