@PeterJones Thanks so much for the quick reply. Installing the release candidate fixed the issue for me. Much appreciated!

Simple and light is often the opposite of universal.

This is often the case, but not always.

@PeterJones said in The problem with notepad.runMenuCommand:

If you solution is “universal enough” for you, fine;

Of course, when there is no ideal option, you have to choose the one that is most suitable for the situation.

@Alan-Kilborn said in The problem with notepad.runMenuCommand:

Good luck achieving all of those all of the time.
Or do you have a “pick any 2” or “pick any 3” type rule? ;-)

Thanks. It happens to everyone at some point ;)
But it must be universal and fast, even if it means making the code complex.

@mpheath @PeterJones
Thank you both for identifying the fault, although your discussion is a bit above my head :)

Just to check my understanding, Notepad++ is using a 3rd party plugin to do the formatting? and the suggestion is i install an alternative styling plugin for notepad++ which will override this new styling plugin which will allow me to revert to the former behaviour?

Does anyone know an effective solution to the black square instead of the cursor issue?
