U.C. Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 This is kinda weird but awesome 1) Open Notepad (You have to boot windows) 2) Type in "Bush hid the facts" (Donot copy paste. Move those lazy fingers) 3) Now save the file. Close Notepad 4) Open the saved file with Notepad and watch as Notepad hides the facts NOTE: Now try opening the file in wordpad Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21915-notepad-hid-the-facts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 It's a bug within Notepad. Pretty weird one too... It will happen with any sequence of 4, 3, 3, and 5 characters in the sentence.

niteice Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 IIRC it has to do with UTF-8 versus Unicode handling. Pretty fun though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21915-notepad-hid-the-facts/#findComment-145050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auggie Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Wait what's supposed to happen? Just some boxes instead of the original text? That's what I got for both... A funny bug but I was kind of hoping for some big scandalous cover-up... lol Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21915-notepad-hid-the-facts/#findComment-145117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Is this a newly introduced bug, or a old one. Yup and you are supposed to see boxes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21915-notepad-hid-the-facts/#findComment-145769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhai Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Well, I didn't see boxes but chinese characters. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21915-notepad-hid-the-facts/#findComment-145783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
