@Eduardo-Pinheiro-Guerra you are correct, and it looks like more chars are affected - every char within 0x80 and 0xBF. But if you use “convert to utf-8”, than it is correctly counted. The issue seems to be in ScintillaEditView.h long getUnicodeSelectedLength() const { // return -1 if it's multi-selection or rectangle selection if ((execute(SCI_GETSELECTIONS) > 1) || execute(SCI_SELECTIONISRECTANGLE)) return -1; auto size_selected = execute(SCI_GETSELTEXT); char *selected = new char[size_selected + 1]; execute(SCI_GETSELTEXT, 0, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>(selected)); char *c = selected; long length = 0; while(*c != '\0') { if( (*c & 0xC0) != 0x80) ++length; ++c; } delete [] selected; return length; } but I’m unsure why this is done. Cheers Claudia

@Guanglong-Jiang please don’t be cross with me but I can’t understand how someone could work like this. If this is important data, it is a must have to set something up which guarantees more or less that the data is save. Save your data. Use backup software and/or activate windows “versioning” of files. Enable npps verbose backup functionality etc etc etc It is your data, your work, your time and your responsibility - think about it - a crash can happen always and everywhere and it might be not notepad++s fault. From the outside, it is really hard to find out what the issue is/was. So my advise, amongst the ones I already wrote, is to check if a crash dump file has been created. If it hasn’t, check if your system has been configured to create dumps. If dumps are available, use windbg to analyze it. Sorry for not being more helpful. Cheers Claudia

No, I didn’t mean that, Claudia. Not after the save on disk, I could always look at the file attributes for that. Editing code in an open tab during days sometimes you need to see the point of change what you have done yesterday. In the case I just clicks UNDO until reaches the version I need. Then I can copy some part which were updated later or copy whole text to compare with current version (after reaching it again with REDO). So while clicking UNDO or REDO I want to see a time mark of this very change. I understand now what it looks like almost a wiki-like version management system. :) But it doesn’t need to save intermediate changes at disk actually. There’s pretty sure could be timestamp property in state change objects of the UNDO/REDO stack. I just want those timestamps reveal in the interface. (It’s my guess, I didn’t see NPP code, don’t know how it actually organized.) Hope now I made it more clear. :^)

…not as useful to others as it might be to you. “others” being the developers/contributers within the Notepad++ community. Why would they all have implemented a feature that very few people care about? They make money out of it; The developers of the editor have a need for the feature themselves; When you have C++ programming skills you could post a pull request with the applicable changes for the feature on the Notepad++ GitHub repository.

As strange as this sounds. I have found the original way I cam across this and if this is of any help to others that is great. If you zoom in to a certain point numbers will be bold automatically. I have tested this on several different machines using the “Simple Arabic Fixed” font in the global preferences and no other settings in Notepad ++ Regarding Language settings. Cheers.

@Bruno-Vincent If you click on your “avatar” (yours is the blue circle that says “Xuzo WEB DESIGN”) you will see all of your postings from the most recent to the oldest. No one can see your email, so it would be impossible to email you “answers”. If someone replies to one of your postings, or to a thread that you add to, you will see a fat red number appear on the bell icon that appears on the upper right–that’s your notification.

I am beholding to you for the remember current session. As for the searching yes it probably is me. I have been sick and not feeling well. So if I offended anyone sorry. As for this job, I it will have to be someone else, it is more than I can handle at the moment. So thanks for the help.

@Ankan-Chanda are the html and the style sheet in the same folder? Cheers Claudia

A hundred bucks!! No, definitely not worth. Ultraedit WAS worth about 10-15 years ago, when it had the best features around, and they were selling it for something like 30 dollars per seat. A little more than a decade ago, I worked for a small company where Ultraedit was the editor of choice. The version at that time was 10 or 11. Then I moved to a another company, and ended in a group where Visual Studio was the only editor available. I did not find it as good as Ultraedit, so I started to look around for a replacement. I tried many alternatives, and to make the long story short, I needed two editors to replace Ultraedit: Notepad++ (because of code folding) and PSPad (integrated hexadecimal editor, better block comment-uncomment). These days I do most of the editing with Notepad++, but I still have PSPad installed, just in case.

@Ken-Bolton for me it does - which npp version do you use? (Debug info) Which field has the focus if you open the find dialog? Cheers Claudia

@Claudia-Frank Thanks so much, it works perfectly! Just like what I wanted. Ty ty. Fondest wishes
