Sometimes there are users (like me) that do some silly thing, that are not expected.

In version 8.6 a new style had been introduced: “Multi selected text colour”. The effect for me was, that in column-select mode the selection was shown only partially (last line only). It took me some time to find out what was my fault. I use a personalised style, where the default background colour happens to have the value “C0C0C0”, the same value as the background for this new style. Therefore I could not see the selection because it had the same bg-colour as the rest of my text. For “Selected text colour” I use the value “A0A0A0”; after applying this value to the new style, it worked again.

I know, it is really a very special case, but it may happen. A similar situation might arise with other changes in the future. For these cases it would help to have a backup for comparison.

@PeterJones
Thanks, Peter, for the detailed instructions.
Now, Notepad++ V8.8.9 launches, as expected.

@Terry-R
Thanks for letting me know.

@Andrea-Gaviraghi More results from allowing updates on MSI package. The 8.8.8 MSI pulls the update from Notepad++ and it then installs the 8.8.9 executable. So again, the computer shows 2 installs, when only the newest is really installed. This process should be a lot cleaner…

@xomx After restarting our Samba instance, the issues appear to be resolved. Apologies for the false alarm, but thank you for the responses!

@Terry-R This is very helpful and I was unaware of that issue. Thank you. Based on dates, it looks like I was using 8.8.5. It seems likely, especially the description of removing the structure around the installation.

@Matt-Brown said in Find / Replace All Behavior Change:

@PeterJones Thank you! Probably my own bone-headed oversight. I know it updated recently and afterwards I noticed the behavior…I’ve never intentionally touched the “wrap around” checkbox. It was unchecked. I appreciate the explanation.

That happens. Glad you figured it out.

(I deleted my intervening post, which was made before your post got approved in the post queue)

My last message was wrong. Please excuse me.

FYI
For the security reason, the https://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/ will be shutdown for some days.
It might be back online next year.

@PeterJones Thanks for your efforts, yes, I think that was the issue.

@xomx said in Notepad++ 8.8.8: 2 issues detected:

or the 3rd option - as I said, create new MenuIcons plugin GitHub issue and its author most likely fixes it and publishes a new compatible version

Oh yes, of course, sorry. The third option is to create a GitHub issue which I’ve done. Here’s the link if anyone else should mention experiencing similar behaviour:

@Charles-Fraichot

Glad you found a good solution. Thanks for letting us know.

@Alan-Kilborn
Yes, you are right. Thanks for the transparency tip.

Thank you for your explanation! I’m glad I wasn’t alone with this problem. It’s very well written and easy for me to understand. Thank you!

@Alan-Kilborn said in 'Find in Files' doesn't appear to work:

If a folder doesn’t exist, I think when the search is initiated, input focus will immediately jump to the Directory: box, signaling a problem with that folder to the user (without a message box). Not on a PC right now, so can’t verify; going from memory.

I see you are correct. However… I also see that the search results show 0 files searched. So I don’t see how it could be a problem with what is in the Find box. The directory might exist, but not be the one OP meant to search.

OK, if it’s the intended behaviour then I’ll just live with it. It’s not a very big deal.

Thank you all who answered!

@donho said in v8.8.9 and ConfigUpdater plugin:

@PeterJones

It’s already fixed in the GitHub, but I didn’t make the plugin list cutoff deadline.

Are you talking about it?
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList/pull/999

It’s in the current PluginList in RC normally.

I ran:

The open tab with ConfigUpdater.log no longer shows any errors

@PeterJones said in Perl keywords "class" and "method" not recognised by Function List:

Please note: the bad highlighting on the $) on lines 325 and 326 compared to 316-317 is caused by the underlying lexer from the Lexilla library project. I have already created an issue there to get that resolved; it cannot be fixed in Notepad++ until it’s fixed in Lexilla.

(This is separate from the Function List behavior, but since I thought you might notice something like that if you used prototypes, I decided to point it out.)
