After editing, saving CSV, file is scrambled when opening in Notepad #963

Current Behaviour (for problems)

When I edit a csv, save it, then open the same file in Notepad, the data doesnt show each row on one line anymore and is problematic for other's that don't have the data-curator installed. When I save-as under the same conditions, the resulting Notepad rendering is normal (e.g. one row per line)

Expected Behaviour

After saving, and then opening the CSV in Notepad, the typical one-row-per-line format should persist.

Steps to Reproduce

Hi @yobyag13 It could be the frictionless spec sitting behind it stating what is used to represent new lines. It seems to OK in Mac (I can see the new lines respected), but yet to test in Windows.

Hi @yobyag13 I've tried to replicate on latest release: 1.2.0-alpha With a simple example, it is OK for me: image

Could you please download this alpha release and try for me and perhaps post screenshots or add details about specific steps in DataCurator actions that might help me determine cause? Or if it now appears OK, please let me know.
