This would be avoided if Notepad was implemented in React Native for Windows.
> This would be avoided if Notepad was implemented in React Native for Windows. Why? I suppose if your render() function had something like showAstrix = this.state.editorBuffer != this.state.savedBuffer then it wouldn't be subject to the bug, but the performance would be terrible if you're editing a large file. To get good performance you'd need to use a flag and update it accordingly, which will subject you to the s…
There's a bug in notepad that lets you turn your computer into a marquee. Making the text big and turning off wordwrap causes the text rendering to lag behind your typing. Here is a demo video I threw together. It's good to have in your pocket for if you're ever bored at fry's or something, that said the update speed is a bit jarring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-Y9oeCWeGc
Aside from everything else, I have great respect for people who find bugs in widely used and long-established software. Even though this may not be a major bug, I admire the bugfinder just the same.

That's not how VS Code handles it - typing a letter and deleting it does NOT count as a modified file.
Typing a letter and deleting it still counts as a modified file for me with VSCode, unless there's some platform-specific behavior or setting I'm missing. (I tested on Linux.)

Well, maybe if you're in Arizona, where it lives on as a grocery chain.
I didn't think there was actually any relation...

Any app that’s installed by default is always used by large numbers of users. Even if not for real text editing, plenty of people use it just as a temporary place to paste copied text to strip the formatting before copy/pasting it somewhere else.
I'm still kinda mad that there's no default shortcut for "paste without formatting" in Word, like CTRL+SHIFT+V in Chrome. It's like one if the most used feature for me in Word.

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…

I just found another bug while testing this bug: 1. Open Notepad 2. Type then backspace. (asterisk shows in title bar - arguably a bug here, but ignoring that ...) 3. Open a new text file. Asterisk showing in the title bar (Expected: no asterisk) - Unless you move the mouse over the window (then the asterisk disappears). Windows 10 Enterprise v1909
The behaviour in (2) seems to be pretty standard across editors I've used: Typing a letter and deleting it does count as a modified file; typing a letter and ^Z to undo it does not make the file count as modified.
