Carriage Returns when copying config files

Does anyone know how to get around having carriage returns/line breaks in the NCM configuration files? When I view the config file in NCM, and then I copy the text. When I paste the text to notepad, it has carriage returns in between every line. I do not want this spacing and cannot find a way around it. I am trying to modify config ACLs and then upload them back and this spacing is causing me issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using NCM 7.1.1 and have looked at NCM 7.2.1 and it is the same.

Hi,

This is a known issue (internal #243071), but it depends on the browser. The workarounds are e.g.

Use Chrome or other browser it works in.
Go to Edit config page, copy the config and paste it to a reasonable editor (like gVim).
Use an advanced editor (like (g)Vim) and record a macro to remove empty lines.

Regards,

Jiri

Thank you. And yes it was IE. I used Firefox and had no issues. Hopefully it will be working in IE soon.
