I see the same problem ... quite repeatable. Characters get "eliminated"
from the text line following a carriage return (even later entries!).
1. Doing a control-L before the save does NOT show any problems.
2. Starting, saving a file, closing it, and then re-opening the file (no
control-L) shows
One additional observation:
The previous line where you do the carriage return, has to be shorter
than the next line to see the problem.
I.e., "12345", , "1234567890" shows the problem, but "1234567890",
, "12345" does NOT.
