Notepad ++ icon black and white code#

The CR and LF are part of the original ASCII code set and are a couple of the ‘machine codes’ (codes 00 to 31) that go back to the teletype origins where it was literally a command to reposition the print carriage back to the left margin and roll the platen up the space of a single line. It’s an excellent simple text/ ASCII text editor. It started when I updated to 7.3 (32 bit) and persists in 7.31 said in How do I show/hide the 'CR' and 'LF' text at the end of the text line?: I never saw the problem during years of using notepad++ 5.9. The only way I have found to get the CR LFs to go away is to save the file, close, reopen, then all is back to normal (I hope) except the sometimes corrupt last line and the text inserted at the edit point.Īfter turning off session snap, I was able to edit for hours without problem recurring it had been happening roughly every 20 minutes. I am hoping that is the only line besides the edit point to be corrupted. But check the last line of your fiie! My last line often loses a few characters (<20), not every time. So far when I check the inserted text it still exists where it should be, as well as being copied to the edit point. Sometimes ~100 bytes of text from later in the file are inserted at the edit point. Scrolling the screen so the edit point rolls off the bottom does not help they are still there when the screen scrolls up again, and they affect the display of the whole rest of the file. Sometimes there is an icon I have not seen before following the CR LF icons – it is a white E on a black background, Hitting pilcrow causes the CR LFs on the top half of the screen to appear and disappear as expected, but it does not change or add to the CR LFs below the edit point. The screen display does not do a CR LF until the middle of the next line. There is a ragged column of CR LF icons down the center of the screen, with text on both sides. There are other forms I’ve seen sometimes the CR LF icons appear in the middle (vertically) of the screen – the lines display their last half, then icon CR LF, then the first half of the next line. Then the anomalous CRLFs often disappeared if I hit up arrow once. Sometimes it happened while I was scrolling down quickly with the down arrow key. Often they would immediately disappear if I hit Ctl-Z.

It often happened when I was deleting a few lines in a 40 megabyte file. They only show up on the bottom half of the screen with this bug, below the edit point. In one form it looks just like I had hit the pilcrow (reverse P) tool button or otherwise chose to show all characters, except that those white letter/black backrground CR & LF icons show up on all lines of the display in normal operation with the pilcrow. This is a dangerous problem in session snap, it sometimes corrupts the file with no warning except that the screen display starts showing unwanted CR LF icons below the edit point. Uncheck Settings->Preferences->Backup->Enable session snap… I’m thinking about npps’ backup functionality, maybe it’s stepping in while you areĬurrently editing and it’s corrupting the document. Or could it be that the document itself is quite large?

I was about to post a screenshot of this problem when I found the solution in Claudia Frank’s answer above:
