@PeterJones Ah yah, I understand now. I suppose this is a fine solution, so thank you for that. This still requires some finesse to get in front of the 1st column versus just click+dragging inside the margin, but definitely better than before. 😎

@guy038 said in Search++: A work in progress:

Sorry to disturb you again, but would it be possible to, either :

Increase the width of the caret

OR

Allow, like in native N++, the modification of its width, in your Settings dialog

I will add that to the list of things I copy from the the active document window when I initialize my Scintilla controls, and look for other similar settings (like the blink rate) that I missed. Not everything is simple to copy, but those are.

Thank you for pointing that out.

@Olyfant22 said in Cannot open text files in Adminitrative mode from network shares in Win11:

why is it that under Windows 10 this is not a problem?

Maybe Microsoft changed that part of the operating system between Win10 and Win11. Or maybe you have unknowingly mapped the network drive both under normal user and admin user on your old Win10 machine.

@tauniaxd ,

I have added the ability to do rgba(0,127,127,0.05)-type colors to the on-demand script at
https://github.com/pryrt/nppStuff/blob/main/pythonScripts/nppCommunity/21xxx/21044-ColorizeHtmlCssColors.py

If you prefer full underline, then change lines 24 and 26 of the script to use INDICATORSTYLE.PLAIN instead of INDICATORSTYLE.DASH

@Steve-Plumlee said in Flickering screen on the latest edit that i've made (like a preview of current and previous state):

@GM-Bobby-B Hi I am having the same experience. I suspect this is a new “Feature” but I have been unable to determine where the setting is to turn it off.

Did you ever figure it out? @Lycan-Thrope Appreciate your FAQ items but I think this is a feature that was added. Maybe one of the dev’s can answer that

Forum search didn’t result in any other posts so maybe it’s a plugin or something?

No, if the video that the original poster put in reddit last year is realy what you’re seeing, it’s not a “feature”.

@Lycan-Thrope linked to the FAQ because the original poster didn’t give enough version information to be any help. And despite thanking him for the link to the FAQ, neither did you. Share your ?-menu’s Debug Info to let us know what version you are using, and many other things that are often relevant to debugging uncommon problems.

That user has never come back to this forum since the original post, so never even saw @Lycan-Thrope’s answer. And the people in Reddit just found that changing the caret blink rate in the preferences “fixed” it for them… though that should have nothing to do with what Notepad++ displays.

My guess is that it was really a plugin causing the problem, or that the underlying cause is actually something slowing down the entire computer, causing it to refresh Notepad++'s screen at odd times.

If you think it might be a plugin, we’ve got a different FAQ which has a section on diagnosing “Possible Culprit: Plugin”: you should follow the steps included there.
