Public bug reported:
I am working on a lyx document together with people that use Windows.
Every time I save the document, all line endings get converted to \n
(LF). Every time someone on Windows saves the document, all line endings
get converted to \r\n (CR+LF).
The document is versioned using SVN which now will show every line as
changed in "svn diff". This is unacceptable when merging changes from
other people and I always have to use the tool "unix2dos" before
committing, so that the diffs look reasonable.
What I expected to happen:
If opened document uses LF to end lines, save document using LF to end lines.
If opened document uses CR+LF to end lines, save document using CR+LF to end
lines.
Like most text editors.
What happened instead:
LyX converts the line endings to the format "native" to the platform it is
running on.
LyX Version:
This affects all versions prior to and including LyX 2.0.2.
Ubuntu Version:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
** Affects: lyx (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
