MUSHclient Notepad broken?

I almost never, ever use the MUSHclient text editor, using SciTE for all my coding instead. However, I recently used it just to make a simple script file with one line in it, and it didn't save it properly at all. My file simply had 'require "main"' but the file had non-printable characters saved in it when I looked at it externally.

Anyone else experience this?

Right! I remember now reading all that. I guess I didn't realize it was still an issue. Like I said, I don't normally use the built-in notepad, but someone else used it and had an issue with the script, so I tried it and saw the same thing.

Thanks for reminding of that thread.

To take this further you would need to consider:

  • What version of MUSHclient you have
  • What operating system you are using
  • Have you got a "manifest" file in your executable directory? That seems to trigger this behaviour off.
