Why does text/edit leave line spaces when using Oracle?

Question

This question is just not limited to Macbook Pro's I'm sure, but to Text/Edit as a whole. I find Apple's text/edit to very unusable cross-platform. It leaves line spaces when you copy and past code from it to an Oracle environment causing the code to execute incorrectly leaving errors (I deactivated all extra features and chose 'Plain Text'). Also, when you open a text/edit document in Windows the formatting that was used is lost (It shoud keep the formatting without the line spaces like Windows Notepad). For instance, it displays the code on 3 lines (depeneding how much code you have). This is pretty moronic for something that should be simple and usable without much effort.
For people that use both platforms for web design and development, this text/edit is pretty unproductive. I had to search and find one that works, which I shouldn't have to do for something like this. I mean it's just a text/editor. Make it useful for what it is, instead trying to be different on this one. Save that for the other great applicatoins that Apple offers.

Answer 1

Ok so in this example, I add a comma to the first paragraph (left window, circled in red). There is no change to the text flow in this paragraph... but as soon as I type the comma, the paragraph below it reflows, for no apparent reason.
I've tried opening the file in CS5.5, and the same thing happens. (And it's happening throughout the entire 300 page book)
- in this example, if I delete the comma from the first paragraph, the second paragraph remains changed - ie it doesn't go back to how it was.
Why did Indesign suddenly change the justification setting in the 2nd paragraph?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
