copy/paste in Compare by contents edit mode does not work correctly
Posted: 2021-01-23, 19:26 UTC
(9.51, 32-bit on x86 computer XP PRO)
When I do file compare by contents (ALT-F, Y) on these two files:
Left pane: just have an empty file (err.txt), size 0 bytes.
Right pane: filename ok.txt:
Have this:
(you can download the ok.txt file here www.kockarna.si/file.zip - this file contains both ok.txt and error.txt files (so you can have your own err.txt file to test). And also a crash info for Christian. I was doing some CTRL-A, CTRL-C,CTRL-V and it crashed twice (second time CTRL-C was not working to save the info).
(left column: are letters ČŠŽčšž in CP1250 (ANSI), right column: same letters in CP852 (ANSI).
Now compare them.
- click 'edit mode'.
- CTRL-A on right pane
- CTRL-C on right pane
- click in the left pane (set focus to left pane)
- CTRL-V to paste everything.
Save left file. Do the compare by contents. FIles are different (5 letters are changed).
Do you have different files or is there something wrong with my settings?
(XP PRO, 32-bit, x86).
Thanks.

These both files are not unicode, UTF-8... just good old plain .txt files.CP1250 CP852
