@guy038 said in Search++: A work in progress:
Thanks for including the Current Line Indicator and Caret settings within Search++. It’s worth to point out that if you modify these N++ settings during a N++ session, you’ll need to close and restart Notepad++ in order that these new parameters are taken in account by the Search++ plugin !
Another way is to change between light and dark mode; that causes Search++ to reset all the appearance information it copies from the active tab. That’s because plugins get a notification when light/dark mode changes, but I don’t think there is anything that would notify Search++ when current line or caret settings change.
A good point, though: I should either document this behavior, or reset appearance every time a Search++ window gains focus.
Now, I stumbled upon a weird bug : while within a N++ session :
If Search++ panel is already opened, click on the cross, on the far right to close the Search++ dialogNow, re-open Search++ with the Plugins > Search++ > Search... option ( Note that I use the Docking mode )
Click on the current tab ( not within the text window ! )
Click on the Search++ windows title
Sometimes, you’ll need to repeat these last two actions twice, in order to trigger that bug
Now, try to close the Search++ panel by clicking on the cross, on the far right => Nothing happens !?
Generally, after some clicks, the dialog finally closes !
Note that I mapped the Ctrl + Shift + N shortcut to the Plugins > Search++ > Search... option. So, if I use this shortcut, I’m able to actually close the Search++ dialog in that specific case and also in all the other cases !
I would consider that it’s a minor bug and I’m not 100 % certain about the steps to reproduce it : not quite obvious !
I haven’t yet been able to get this to happen on my system. Thank you for reporting it. If I can reproduce it, I’ll attempt to figure out why it happens. What’s strange is that Notepad++ manages the close button for docking dialogs. Even if I completely remove all my close (actually hide) dialog code, clicking that X still closes the docking panel and hides the search dialog. So either you have stumbled on a Notepad++ bug, or something I am doing in Search++ is interfering with normal Notepad++ behavior.
Have you ever seen this behavior with any other docking window?
