<pre>I tried to reproduce:
1. open Writer
2. enter "abc" without (the "), no line feed
3. Save As -> Text (.txt)
4. open with an hex editor. The file holds 7 bytes:
EF BB BF 61 62 63 0A
These 3 first bytes are a UTF8 BOM (see
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark</a> ).
@fg: could you check your file if it is the same ? Maybe your text editor just
misunderstands this.
The question is: should these be there or not. I think this is a design
decision, some editors offer the choice to save txt file with or without BOM
(Notepad++ on Windows has this).
Should LO have this ? I don't know.
