Stefan, I prefer UltraEdit <http://www.ultraedit.com>. It is
shareware, so you could easily use it for the purpose of testing this
particular bug.

It seems that the problem is connected with the line terminators. If
you create a file (or save a file) in UNIX format with Unix line
terminators and then copy text from the file into a TB 4.0 message,

Presumably the first line is unaffected because it was not preceded by
a line terminator.

NOTE: This behavior is introduced in 4.x. It does not occur in 3.x (or
at least I never noticed it there, and I probably would have). It
certainly does not occur in 3.99.29.
