Why does the ruler in UltraEdit start with a 0?
The ruler works as a normal ruler would, showing “0” as the start point, allowing the user to measure the number of columns prior to a given point. The status bar, on the other hand, is intended to show the column in which you’re about to make an entry. As with normal Windows applications, both of these modes of indication and measurement are, I believe, the standard way of doing things, however, most applications do not include both. If you prefer to have the ruler begin with “1” rather than “0” please go to Advanced -> Configuration -> Editor Display -> Miscellaneous and select “Start ruler numbering at column 1”.
