Is there a bug in the SimpleFileEditor related to opening a file, making it smaller ( by deleting some of the text) and then doing a file save?

On my machine, the resulting file (as viewed with Notepad) still contains the original text beyond the length of the last file save.

here is an example:

open a file containg three lines:
 aaa
 bbb
 ccc

change the first line to "xxx" and delete the third line
now the edit box looks like:
 xxx
 bbb

do a file save

open the file with notepad. the file has three lines:
 xxx
 bbb
 ccc

I cannot figure out what the problem is. I am using the source code downloaded from this site.

I don't have the book, so I'm not quite sure what it should be doing. But after the changes made does it save the changes in the right area back to the file? Like from the text property of the textbox control or from a saved string or a string array or wherever those changes are? Are there any other changes made before it saves. To me it looks like it recognizes the changes made but add's ccc to the last line or is never deleted. Ohhhhh I know what else it could be. You might want to, when opening the file, open it as create/new, or else it will just overwrite existing data, or append to it. That might be what's going on. Check on that. Just look at the FileMode properties when opening it, when creating a file data type. =)
