The API Tools quick fix to remove an unused API problem filter changes all line delimiters in .api_filters to the platform default delimiter (Windows, in my case).

Operations on existing files must always use the existing delimiter format. For new files, the Platform.PREF_LINE_SEPARATOR preference must be used (but the quick fix doesn't even respect that option, which is set to \n in my case).
