So the results:

- Pretty feature-rich, see shot above :-)

- Doesn't have the mouse-cursor-ghosting-bug known from FD EDIT 0.9 , at least as long as there is no 25 vs 50 problem, see below

- Loading my 15 MiB file is a bit slow, there is no progress indicator and no abort, but still acceptable, minor thing, finally loads correctly.

- Editing this file seems to work, well responsive.

- Critical BUG : pressing CTL-C in the hope of copy into clipboard triggers an internal error and aborting :-( IMHO CTL-C CTL-V and CTL-X should be supported and work (they are not advertised in current version ...). C&P using the alternative ways seems to work.

- Can't drag the scrollbars, but there is "GoTo Line" , so minor thing.

- Too long lines: no crash, lines got force split into pieces per 255 bytes at most, minor problem: instead of reporting the amount of evil lines, it reports the same thing twice, one time as "line -1"

- S&R with single confirm seems to work well

- S&R with "replace all" has problems. Maybe it's somewhat "correct" , but very slow (hog new memory and move complete text for every occurrence ?), strange cursor activity, no progress indicator, and no abort :-( As a minimal P.I. the line number field active while editing could be used, the optimal solution would be 2-pass and a S&R progress box like:

S&R - count pass
Processing line 1'534 from total 987'223
Found 10'442 occurrences so far
Old size 15'753'643 , changed size so far 18'444'210
[abort]

S&R - replace pass
Processing line 1'534 from total 987'223
Replaced 10'442 from 123'777 occurrences so far
Old size 15'753'643 , new final size 23'466'277
[abort]

S&R - done
Replaced 123'777 occurrences
Old size 15'753'643 , new final size 23'466'277
[OK]

- 25 vs 50 lines: it seems to store the height into (at least) one of those numberous CFG/INI/.../??? files, and starting it next time in the "other" height doesn't work (no mouse, at least ALT-X intact). Deleting those files helps. Also there in no internal 25 vs 50 switching support (works well in INFOPAD, in FD EDIT it's present but doesn't work)

- Calculator: starting with 7 and clicking "x^2" ... after overflowing 64-bit, it switches to float (probably intentional), but few clicks later when float range is over as well the punishment is considerably harder :crying:
