It does that with any 4 word sentence with a 4,3,3, and 5 letters words in that order.

LOL that is amusing.
I wonder how many more bugs one could scope out with such primitive tests.

Thanks for that.

Cool ... But the file is saved properly, I mean you can get the original text if you open the file in wordpad.

If I remember right it's something like the order of that has some encoding at the end of it, that when opened back up Notepad doesn't know how to read it. -
wordpad seems to open it up fine

If notepad is allowed to save the content with the encoding i should be able to properly read it as well. -

Ya you are right ... but, if you modify notepad with all the stuff you need, it would become wordpad

When Notepad opens up a file it doesn't know whether it's 8-bit ANSI or 16-bit UTF-16 (technically UCS-2.)
So it makes an educated guess, based on high/low byte analysis heuristics.
In the examples cited, the string looks UCS-2-ish to Notepad.
