Summary: regedit: Doesn't export decent newline in Unicode (NT5) Format. Product: Wine Version: 1.3.14 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sagawa.aki+winebugs@gmail.com
Created an attachment (id=33503) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=33503) exported registry file
Exporting a registry in Unicode (NT5) format from wine's regedit, it generates ANSI newlines as shown in attached file.
Though the file can import to registry via regedit (this is the reason why I choose `minor' in the severity), it's hard to edit in notepad or other editors and incompatible with Windows.

As seen in above output, bytes from 0x4A to 0x4F (i.e. 0d 0a 00 0d 0a 00) represent two ANSI newlines. But they should be two Unicode newlines (i.e. 0d 00 0a 00 0d 00 0a 00).
My environment is Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit) and locale is ja_JP.UTF-8 (also tested LANG=C).
How to reproduce: 1. Launch regedit.exe. 2. Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers in the left treeview. 3. Click [Registry]-[Export Registry File] in the menu. 4. Change [Files of type] to [Registry files (*.reg)]. 5. Enter a file name with appropriate name and click [Save] to export.
