Okay, I'd post this in one of the coding related forums, but I'm not sure it's coding related...
I've been having bizarre, weird problem lately...
To sum it up in a nutshell, whenever I edit a text file and save, the last 3 lines or so of the text file are duplicated.
This has been causing me huge headches, as I'm trying to write code and edit makefiles and as a result my files are being borked...
The problem occurs no matter which tool I use. I've been editing C source files in Eclipse, Notepad++ and Programmers Notepad and the problem keeps happening.
It happens independant of whether the file in question is original or an editor of someone else's file.
Attempting to remove the added text has no effect, as the extra text reappears when the file is re-loaded.
The problem does not seem to affect MS-Word documents though.
I've scanned for viruses and spyware using both Avast and ZoneAlarm and have turned up nothing.
I've tried changing the file encoding options with no change.
Currently I'm running XP SP2.
This is driving me out of my mind! I'm completely unable to end any kind of source code on my system and I'm having no luck working out what the problem is.
Does anyone have any ideas at all, because my temper is fraying and my patience is wearing thin...
:-(
EDIT: If I remove the stray text using WordPad it does not reappear. Now I'm really confused!
