Wildly guessing here based on Mac experience.... A MIF file is an ASCII text file. So you have to think, what could go wrong with an ASCII text file?
. Variations in character encoding standards
. Non-compliance with the expected line end character/character combo (i.e. LF, CR, CR+LF and so on)
. Fniger troulbe when editing ;-)
and so on.
On Mac I never had any issues with MIF-washing, but saying that doesn't help you. I've now got a mixed-platform system and editors that can display invisible characters, so happy to run trials if that would help.
