Notepad => Ctrl + s

Does anyone noticed that? When we save the file (with Status Bar shown) the "Line" and "Col" count goes to 1!! The complexity as that of a Notepad, can have such bugs! :D Cheers!
Do rate the reply, if it helps or even if it doesnot, because it helps the members to know, what solved the issue. Thanks.
Just get Notepad2 and be done with it. I've actually replaced notepad.exe with notepad2, and put a context menu in my Windows Explorer using a reg key, and it's a blessing. now when I go to someone else's PC or have to remote onto a server somewhere and try to edit XML config files or something like that, I cringe at how bad the original Notepad app is. It's actually too basic. Notepad++, on the other hand, is actually a bit too feature-rich to be my default text editor.

If we enable
wordwrapstatus bar will be disabled, anyone know the reason behind this?*jaans
Think about it. What does the column and line numbers refer to?? Does it refer to the line that is rendered on screen, using the current width of the Notepad window, or is it the line of text before the user hits Enter, even though this may be several screen lines long?? If the size of the Notepad window changes, it pretty much makes all the numbers meaningless, now doesn't it?

I asked this question a long time ago. Someone provided a reasonable answer. Too bad I don't remember it. I tried searching lounge comments but I forget what year I asked.

Notepad++ is great, I just don't use regular notepad anymore. http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm[^]

Oh don't get me wrong, it is great, but it's better for different things. Notepad2 is much much faster to load and simpler to use for basic XML and INI text editing. Notepad++ has better language support, I use it for JavaScript a lot, the function list on the right is dead handy.

I've never used Notepad2 before...I'll give it a shot!

Yes, they disable the status bar because with word wrap, the col and row numbers wouldn't make any sense. It's just a shortcut around a complex problem.
