Internal editor bug

WinSCP 2.3.8 build 1771 on windows 7

I use internal editor for view files, but I have a little problem when, inside a file, there are 0x00 byte sequence.
For example .. see this text

------
LockFile: /tmp/DemoneEmail.prop.lock

24/07/2012 15:56:04 [66284000] MAIN TOT(161306) sleep queue: 392
24/07/2012 15:56:09 [68495512] MAIN TOT(161306) sleep queue: 374
24/07/2012 15:56:14 [58976368] MAIN TOT(161306) sleep queue: 352
24/07/2012 15:56:19 [63015808] MAIN TOT(161306) sleep queue: 319
-------

between "lock" and "24/07/2012" there is a 0x00 sequence, see the exadecimal flow

in this situation .. the internal editor stop to view the file at the first 0x00 character, so I have a view truncated of the file

The file downloaded in temp directory it's correct.
I use the commander interface

At the moment I use an external editor to solve this problem and see all the file

WinSCP internal editor indeed does not support binary files. What you file with 0x00 qualify as.

Hi,

i've created an new file (.htaccess) on my ftp via WinSCP Beta 5.0.7 on Windows 7 Professional Client.
Then i edited this file with the WinSCP internal Editor at UTF-8 Encoding with his content "Options -Indexes".

After saving this file, my webserver can't interpret this file correctly.
I switched the encoding-view on the internal editor to ANSI and get this content "Options -Indexes".

Now i've deleted the first symbols "" and saved the file again with the internal editor on ANSI encoding and it works fine.

So the problem is only on saving a file in the utf-8 encoding mode.

Those three characters are UTB-8 BOM. It's perfectly correct to be in the file. Though many *nix program cannot handle them. For this reason WinSCP removes them during ASCII/text mode upload with SFTP and SCP. Not with FTP. So I suppose you are using FTP, right?

Yes. I'm using FTP. However, it is a problem when the internal editor saving files on a server wich the server can't handle.
This problem serves only at files after saving with the internal editor at utf-8.
Attached the file and here the error-message from my webserver: <invalid hyperlink removed by admin>
