I would put that in the bug list... A really portable application should
handle EOL as CR, LF or CR+LF.

"Real" in Windows world... CR in Mac world, LF in Unix world.

An opportunity for a plug I shouldn't let slip...
SciTE (www.Scintilla.org) manages the three formats.
By default, it saves in the same format as read. You can also choose a
line-ending format and convert the file before saving it. A bit too much,
but you can also type different line-ends in the same file. Useful to test
the robustness of some applications, though...
And it has Lua syntax highlighting!

Now, to be honest, there are a number of good freeware text editors that
correctly manage these issues.
