Bush hid the facts

[Captain Maxx Power]

Try this guys;

1) Open a standard Notepad document, blank
2) Type in "Bush hid the facts" without the quotation marks
3) Save the file anywhere under any name, then close it
4) Reopen it again

Conspiracy? Is there a logical explanation?

HOW DID GEORGE BUSH HACK MY COMPUTER

[Erdrick Holmes]

What the smurf?

Some wierd bug, it has to do with the number of letters and words. "this app can break" will get you the same result.

Looks like I'm going to have to start wearing my tinfoil cap again. :-\

It only breaks when you save using ANSI character encoding :p.

It's not the massive right-wing conspiracy it might seem, though. The folks at WinCustomize.com discovered an odd bug in Notepad that's triggered by a text file consisting of a four-letter word, two three-letter words, and a five letter word. Some text does it -- "this app can break" is their example -- some doesn't.

Play around with it if you want. I have always had fun it.

It only breaks when you save using ANSI character encoding .

"dont use few words" came up with 潤瑮甠敳映睥眠牯獤 in unicode format, but I retyped it in ansi and it saved fine xD

[bipper]

Just a bug kids - and we know it will never get fixed! /flex@ microsoft

Funny. Let's just conclude with "Notepad smurfing sucks."
-edit-
Just checked. "dont use few words" turns out fine if i select unicode when saving it the first time. However, if I save it as ANSI the first time, I'll appear as Unicode and in Chinese when I reopen it. So apparently, when you use ANSI for some short words, it'll think the encoding is Unicode when you reopen it.
