I remember one day long ago when Notepad++ was the real shit, I was using the vertical selection feature and noticed that the selection was shorter on lines that had accented characters. I thought: "huh, accented characters count as two? What would happen if the selection ended in one? Can I select half a character?" no I could not and I had to restart my computer after trying.

I loved Notepad++.

Started in DOS with Edit, regular notepad, got introduced to UltraEdit, then found NP++.

... lol. Sounds like you tried splitting an atom.
