For some months I figured out that line endings do change according to where I edit the text file, if I edit in Kubuntu, I get the file converted wholly to unix-like endlines, if I edit it later in WinXP, I get it converted back to DOS-like endlines.

While this doesn't pose any problem to the file usage, it confuses KSVN (SVN GUI I use in Kubuntu). I would prefer TheIDE to read the newline type from opened file, and stick to it (unless it has mixed line-endings, then it's IMHO fine to automatically convert it to current native one.
It's just very minor annoyance, because I can use unix2dos and dos2unix to convert it back, but still having this "fixed" would save me couple of seconds daily.
