I wasn’t aware that the MSDN .NET documentation was viewed as being platform specific documentation.
I am not sure how this is a Microsoft bug so much as an issue with the fact they did not consider it being run on other platforms. Given that Mono is cross-platform, whereas Microsoft’s implementation is not, and Mono has made other changes to the reference source (which is very Windows specific) to provide consistency across platforms it is unclear as to why the previous behavior of using \r\n (prior to the switch to the reference source) is incorrect. ― Martin On 9/28/15, 9:58 AM, "Atsushi Eno" <atsushi...@veritas-vos-liberabit.com> wrote: >MSDN documentation describes the behavior how .NET Framework works on >Windows, hence it says \r\n.
