One of the biggest reasons I wanted to upgrade to Windows 11 was for dark mode Notepad and dark mode Task Manager. It looks way better now and this seems like a simple bug to fix. Worth it. Not everything needs to be unchanging forever.
Notepad and other Windows applications already supported a "dark mode" via the Windows themes feature in Windows 3.1 in 1992. Windows 3.1 also supported to TRUE color scheme of the 1337 h@x0r, the HOT DOG STAND theme!
I found another bug a while ago, if you have some lines in notepad (e.g. "abcdef", "123", "") and you move your cursor to the end of a line (or anywhere other than the start of the line) and go down to the last line (the empty line in the example) by pressing the down key and the pressing the down key again while youre on the empty line, the next time youll press the up key itll jump up by 2 lines
Windows 11 is a whole bunch of new features put on top of Windows 10 that end users can be tricked into testing to satisfy their desire to have the highest version number.
Yeah, that was my big fear when I heard notepad was being re-written. Minor changes like when they fixed line-ending handling either in the Windows 8 or Windows 10 version was a welcome, yet super minor addition. But with Windows 11, the entire thing was entirely re-done, which I just KNEW would get screwed up somewhere.
-shrug- Not really a keyboard flex. This board is less than half what I paid for my daily driver. I picked it up because I wanted something smaller to travel to LAN Parties with.
Some keyboards have what is known as "ghosting", which prevents a certain number of keys from registering at the same time. You may be experiencing this.

I tried for about an hour or so to recreate this in any other Windows 11 application and was unable to. I'd be happy to hear anyone reproduce this outside of Notepad though!
I wasn't able to replicate this, at first! I have ghosting. Then I tried it again, and pressed the letter that is the last in the sequence, and it replicated the anomaly. Then after I pressed another key, it went back to "normal." Very interesting find! My comp came with windows 11, I was going to downgrade, but theres only 2 years of win10 support left, so I kept 11. :/ Also, now they have it when you close notepad, it doesn't really close, and will open up your last open files. Some may like that, but I don't, didn't really see a need for that.

Notepad had one of - if not the most simple and basic text editor designs for a default installation out there I feel. What else did they change then?

@@circuitrewindOh god my eyes are burning just remembering that theme
the cool features that come with closed source software
I can confirm, I just did it now in Win 11 notepad
one of us! one of us! one of us!! ... oh wait, I'm not supposed to be cheering for bugs in software. :P
I bet it's counting the number of events on the assumption that each event can only be one character but in fact each event can be four characters...?

They broke friggin Notepad? Ahahahahaha…
That's pretty hilarious lol probably a simple fix, I wonder how you'd even raise an issue, I doubt they have a windows repo lol
LOL yeah, that's part of the problem. How do you contact a HUMAN at these super massive corporations? I have absolutely no idea!
Wasn't there a program on windows you use to report problems? It's called "feedback" or something.
@@rafisofyanthat's true, I know some companies even have bug bounties.
This is years old buddy, windows 7 had this too, oh the old days of the internet ...
Sh1t they make these days is all broken, but this takes the cake.

@@circuitrewind 100%. They should focus on making things functional and flawless, instead of making the skin fanciful.
@@missilemahmoodsure, because that's exactly what their userbase wants bud
This is exactly why I downgraded. Such a simple program, broken.
is this a keyboard flex or an i-broke-notepad flex
-shrug- Not really a keyboard flex. This board is less than half what I paid for my daily driver. I picked it up because I wanted something smaller to travel to LAN Parties with.
Fixed on settings, I don't like it but the plus is that you can have tabs instead of new windows #callusold
Notepad is killed by MS
yes and prob found ADS that should not be there
I cant reproduce it

This doesn't seem Notepad specific instead how PS/2 or USB devices polling is handled on Windows 11. Could be a driver issue.

Notepad was perfect. As a colleague once said "if what you're doing breaks notepad then you don't need to be doing it"
I dont have bug.
