Web IDE and line endings

General
1

Normally I’d do this via .gitattributes or git config, but is there any way to configure the rules for line endings when using the Web IDE?

I recently had a case where the Web IDE was being used on Windows and inserting \r\n at the end, rather than the expected \n. This caused some text processing jobs to blow up.

I can work around it. For every text job in every project, but that’s brittle. I’d rather just let people know what settings to tweak.

I have had this issue occur a few times as well when using the Web IDE in Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04

This causes git to interpret EVERY line as changed, severely polluting the git diff output unless --word-diff is used.

Why is the Web IDE changing the line ending for every line of a page when edited?
