[Eric] Re: eric4 open file always 'modified'

[David Joyner]

It was line endings -- in Editor.py line 276 it checks the preference
for autoconversion of line endings.  While this must have been enabled
by the installer, disabling it yields the desired results for both
files created on Windows and Linux, i.e. it will preserve the line
endings.

Thanks

Running version eric4-4.2.5(r2785), python 2.5.1, Windows XP editing
any file at all (in other words just displaying a file in the editor)
causes eric4 to believe that the file has modifications, so it prompts
to save, discard, abort every file when closing.  If I open file in
the editor, make no changes, and then File|Save, no prompt is issued.

Just to test a bit I opened eric4.py instead of one of my own files
and it behaves the same way.

Is this a line ending or 'tabs to spaces' issue? maybe?
