[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43334] [GUI] Editor inserts CR LF rather than just LF

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #43334 (project octave):

Can the patch of comment #7 be pushed to stable as well?
After all this is a sneaky bug that gave at least me lots of extra work.

AFAICS the behavior after the bug fix would be very transparent, logical, and
the thing that the far majority of unwary users would expect. There aren't
that many files that have mixed EOL types and if they need cleaning up there's
always dos2unix & unix2dos to make a fix so that next time the file is edited
in Octave the problem is avoided in the first place.

As to options menus, e.g. notepad++ has configurable line endings for new
files.
If EOLs need to be changed I'd rather have it in the Edit menu of the editor.
