And this is something it shouldn't do.  If it's going to convert the
endings, it _must_ do it correctly. Really, that it silently converts
line endings on opening is a problem. There needs to be some
notification, perhaps a yes/no dialog. That it does it when you switch
the line-end mode in the bottom drop-down is fine; that's the result
of an user-requested action. But actually mucking with the contents of
the file when it opens it (yes I know you still need to save it), in a
way that is silent and non-obvious is bad.

All that said, the real problem is the OP has inconsistant
line-endings in his source files. That's a problem that needs to be
fixed. BBEdit's handling of them is simply a side-show here.
