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.

Since you're an MVP, I'm sure you have contacts in the Windows dev groups
and can mention this to them. Not sure what purpose this has in a public
newsgroup designed for technical support.

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.
