Why isn’t notepad working?
Here’s a notepad quirk that had stumped me for a bit
recently. Sometimes, “Go To Line” (ctrl+g) doesn’t work and View >
Status Bar is disabled. Why? This isn’t documented anywhere, but it
has to do with whether Word Wrap is turned on. I have a hard time
thinking of a good reason for this (lines should be treated logically
and have no relationsihp to the visual representation on screen with
wrapping), but that’s where the behavior comes from.
