One of the biggest reasons I wanted to upgrade to Windows 11 was for dark mode Notepad and dark mode Task Manager. It looks way better now and this seems like a simple bug to fix. Worth it. Not everything needs to be unchanging forever.
Notepad and other Windows applications already supported a "dark mode" via the Windows themes feature in Windows 3.1 in 1992. Windows 3.1 also supported to TRUE color scheme of the 1337 h@x0r, the HOT DOG STAND theme!
I found another bug a while ago, if you have some lines in notepad (e.g. "abcdef", "123", "") and you move your cursor to the end of a line (or anywhere other than the start of the line) and go down to the last line (the empty line in the example) by pressing the down key and the pressing the down key again while youre on the empty line, the next time youll press the up key itll jump up by 2 lines
Windows 11 is a whole bunch of new features put on top of Windows 10 that end users can be tricked into testing to satisfy their desire to have the highest version number.
Yeah, that was my big fear when I heard notepad was being re-written. Minor changes like when they fixed line-ending handling either in the Windows 8 or Windows 10 version was a welcome, yet super minor addition. But with Windows 11, the entire thing was entirely re-done, which I just KNEW would get screwed up somewhere.
Some keyboards have what is known as "ghosting", which prevents a certain number of keys from registering at the same time. You may be experiencing this.
-shrug- Not really a keyboard flex. This board is less than half what I paid for my daily driver. I picked it up because I wanted something smaller to travel to LAN Parties with.

I tried for about an hour or so to recreate this in any other Windows 11 application and was unable to. I'd be happy to hear anyone reproduce this outside of Notepad though!
I wasn't able to replicate this, at first! I have ghosting. Then I tried it again, and pressed the letter that is the last in the sequence, and it replicated the anomaly. Then after I pressed another key, it went back to "normal." Very interesting find! My comp came with windows 11, I was going to downgrade, but theres only 2 years of win10 support left, so I kept 11. :/ Also, now they have it when you close notepad, it doesn't really close, and will open up your last open files. Some may like that, but I don't, didn't really see a need for that.
