Title:
CR-LFs get duplicated whenever they fall on READ_CHUNK_SIZE boundaries
Status in gedit:
Expired
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gedit
Gedit massively screws up files whose lines are terminated by CR-LF
(i.e., Windows-style newlines, or 0D 0A in hex). It reads in a file in
8192-byte chunks, and then if a CR-LF combo happens to fall on a
boundary so that the CR is on one side and the LF is on the other,
then Gedit translates BOTH of them into a newline. The net effect is
that quite a few newlines get randomly duplicated here and there in
any reasonably long file with Windows-style newlines when you load it.
Time to find a new text editor. I've already wasted several minutes
too many discovering Gedit's design flaws and creating a pointless
account here.
