There's another bug... open a file, make a single change (asterisk appears), press Ctrl-Z to undo, asterisk does not disappear.
Don't most text editors do that though?

Emacs gets it right; the asterisk disappears even if you execute many actions and then multi-undo back to the starting state.
Yeah, but Emacs isn't what you call "most text editors"
1. Open Notepad
2. Type then backspace. (asterisk shows in title bar - arguably a bug here, but ignoring that ...)

Probably because few of the people who are aware of what an asterix in the title bar mean (mostly devs) are still using notepad.
I mean... I use notepad. I frequently use it to clear the non-text formats from the clipboard so when I paste I actually get text. Some apps don't let you pick the paste format and try to be helpful with formatting. Most of the time I don't want that. Win+R is useful for small snippets, but notepad is useful for multiline text. But I don't pay attention to the asterisk, because I just use it as a scratchpad. When I n…

Ah, yes...that's what I was getting at. Notepad is mostly a wrapper around a rich edit control, and rich edit controls already emit "EN_CHANGE" when the content changes. So I suppose this must be some historical thing where an earlier version of notepad didn't have something like that to tee into.
WordPad is a wrapper around a rich text control.

Ah yes, trade a small, easily fixed, bug for a life-time of JS induced jank. No thank you.
I mean, React Native is not a bad choice for a "new notepad", similar to how they did with the calculator. It can even get the "Microsoft OpenSource Project" seal. See ReactXP[1] a library for React Native from Microsoft Speaking about the calculator app, did you know it is OpenSource[2]? You can only compile to windows as of now though [1]: https://github.com/Microsoft/reactxp [2]: https://github.com/microsoft/calcu…
