Why?

Short answer: It is different line feed.

One link to answer your question:

You have probably used a tool that writes out text files with different line ends.
(for example, the GOG configuration tool)
Or the file had different line ends to begin with.


You could open the file with a different editor, as there are plenty who can deal with different line ends.

Why are you using notepad?

Why not use a proper IDE?

You can get a free text editor that displays that correctly, such as notepad++

A full IDE? For a config file?

A plan text editor is perfectly fine. Notepad, however, is annoying in many ways, one of which is that Microsoft hasn't yet seen fit to add the ability to recognise CR or LF line feeds, but only CRLF (granted, CR alone isn't much used nowadays, but I'd wager LF is more common than CRLF).

Notepad++ and Notepad2 are good alternatives.

IDEs don't have to be bulky, Geany and Notepad++ are perfect examples.

Notepad doesn't have features to recognize that line separator format. You can use WordPad instead if you don't want to use another app

Notepad++ or geany are both good app to use for editing files in this format. I personally use geany

Heh, it seems this kind of idiosyncrasies should disappear with the "next-gen Notepad" included in Windows 10 1809...

Awesome.

What is a proper IDE?

As already mentioned in the thread. Something better than Notepad. Anything at that point would be a step up.

It's an Integrated Development Environment. Essentially a program for writing programming language. Pretty much all can be used for a simple text editor as well. Notepad++ has been my IDE of choice for YEARS.

Visual Studio Code is a good option as well.
