[Qt-interest] QTextDocument and "\r\n" new-lines

[Qt Quest]

Anyone has an idea how to keep DOS/Windows text format - "\r\n" as new lines?
I'm using QPlainTextEdit. When loading a DOS file, the text document changes it to a 1-char newline text, so saving it to a file creates a UNIX text format.
Any workarounds?
Thanks!

Hi all,

Currently, QTextDocument treats "\r\n" as "\n" when setting the document text.
The problem with this behavior is that the Qt would report the next line as starting one character earlier (and line 100: 100 characters earlier). This messes with the indexes which are computed with the file on the hard disk
Also, writing the file again will change the file format from dos to unix.

I tried changing  QTextCursor::insertText line 1330:
            if (ch == QLatin1Char('\r')
                && (i + 1) < text.length()
                && text.at(i + 1) == QLatin1Char('\n')) {
   
              continue;
                //++i;
                //ch = text.at(i);
            }

which solves the indexes problem, but now the visible-text-symbol-of-newline is shown (like in word processors). Any way to work around it?

Thank you!
