The editor doesn't display the final newline (which is also the last character) in any source file.

If the user adds what appears to be a single newline in Dev-C++, he ends up with the file containing two newlines at the end. This bug can also be spotted by using:

Execute -> View Makefile

as the Dev-C++ editor will not show the ending newline of "Makefile.win".

By the way, it seems that files use UNIX style line endings (LF), without the possibility to change to MS-DOS style (CRLF). Why is the native text encoding of Windows unsupported by a text editor part of a C++ IDE for Windows?

This above was a mistake on my part. The project files were originally created by another editor to have UNIX-style line endings.
