Is there a way to make Notepad not copy line break?

When select a line in notepad, drag cursor all the way to the end, it automatically add line break into selection.

I don't understand the logic here. I only select this line, cursor stays in this line, why would you add line break to the selection?

The logic should be if you move cursor to the beginning of next line while selecting, then you add line break.

I just never understand how some people are thinking.

It has nothing to do with the line break in selection.

Create a new text file with Notepad, type anything so there is no extra stuff at the end of line. Click anywhere beyond the end of line, cursor will be at the end right after the last letter, you can't go beyond that point in this line with click or keyboard arrow key. But if you click and hold, drag selection all the way to the end of line, it will add an extra line break to the selection, looks like a space inside selection. Have to move cursor one position back to avoid copying the extra line break.

In Notepad++ I can drag left to right as far as I want..., only when I dip down to the next line does it pick up the line break.

Right to left depends on the accuracy of selection.

If the OP is using the Store version of Notepad, I haven't a clue!
