The default applies only to new files created by Geany. You are not creating a new file, you are opening an existing empty one. Since it has no line endings in it from which to determine the right one, the algorithm happens to end up on LF.
You need to either create the file with Geany and it uses the default as you confirmed, or write a blank line to your "empty" one so Geany can correctly determine its type. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
