CRLF bug (I think)

[anti]

Workflow:

- download CMS files (such a drupal), or themes and add-on modules in zip or tar.gz archives
- upload to web space using cpanel filemanager
- extract using cpanel filemanager
- use webuilder to edit the css/php files

The problem:

Most files edit ok in webuilder. For instance, the drupal core files and most downloadable themes.
However, the files in a minority of modules/themes contain extra carriage returns when opened with webuilder.
Note that when opened in cpanel filemanager editor or UltraEdit, or even the free PS-Pad, the same files are displayed properly.

This extra space is a problem because firebug states which line of script particular html/css elements are on.
With this webuilder error the firebug line-reference is inaccurate, so you can't find the line your looking for.
It is also not very nice to have to scroll files which are twice as long as they should be.

The Cpanel filemanager editor reports that the files have CRLF line terminators.
I think the problem is that webuilder is not interpreting these correctly.

I will have to move over to using UltraEdit if there is not a solution.
However, UltraEdit is not as well designed as Webuilder, especially with regard to ftp functionality.
Webuilder is my clear favourite, and I'd like to continue using it if possible.

Any advice, ideas, suggestions are welcome.
