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

@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…

@Terry-R
Thanks for letting me know.

@Coises I like your idea (as I also wrote in the issue). Besides other merits, it eliminates a behaviour that has been bothering me for a long time: if you work with a real file, then switch to a tab that is not a file, then to another not-a-file-tab and remain on these for some time, you completely lose the context of the real file in your mind. Yet when you press Ctrl+O (or Ctrl+S) you find yourself in a location that you have long abandoned mentally.

My last message was wrong. Please excuse me.

@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)

@Ian-Hicks Hit a few too many speedbumps, so retraced my steps and found a solution using MSXML. Output isn’t as elegant, but it’s readable, so provides a solution to my problem

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

So, I’ve checked the session.xml to see how many files and in which encoding are.

What I’ve discovered here are inconsistent results.
While I expected all files to be in UTF-8 due to my settings, here I found:

Some (most) UTF-8 files with encoding “-1” in session.xml Some UTF-8 files with encoding “10007” in session.xml Some “Cyrillic -> Macintosh” files with encoding “10007” in session.xml Some “Cyrillic -> Windows 1251” files with encoding “1251” in session.xml

Somehow, N++ for itself has decided and selected alle these different encodings. What I need is to have all my files always in UTF-8, and now I’m thinking maybe to mass-convert all the file to UTF-8 somehow…

@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.

Hi, @mark-anderson, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All,

Phew ! More fear than harm ! See my very last issue_comment :

Hi, @peterjones and All,

Peter, actually, we were not talking about the same thing !

On GitHub, under the tree structure notepad-plus-plus/PowerEditor/Test/FunctionList/perl, there are two files :

unitTest ( named unitTest.txt )

unitTest.expected.result ( named unitTest.expected.result )

And indeed, after downloading the unitTest.txt file and opening it within N++, it did automatically recognized this .txt file as a Perl file, due to the first line #!/usr/bin/env perl

Now, in the functionList sub-folder of my portable 887_x64 installation, I copied three files :

perl.xml of N++ v8.8.6, that I renamed perl_886.xml

perl.xml of N++ v8.8.7, that I just re-copied as perl_887.xml

perl.xml, from your last link ( https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/3d829d9a311fa05f77479b79b5b340e05986a52e/PowerEditor/installer/functionList/perl.xml ), that I renamed Perl_NEW.xml

Then, after closing N++, from a CMD prompt, I ran, successively, the three commands :

• D:\887_x64\functionList>copy perl_886.xml perl.xml • D:\887_x64\functionList>copy perl_887.xml perl.xml • D:\887_x64\functionList>copy perl_NEW.xml perl.xml

I re-started N++, each time, with current tab = unitTest.txt and opening the View > Function List feature, I did verify that :

The Function List panel with perl_886 was immediate but quite incomplete

The Function List panel with perl_887 was correct but with a slight delay at opening time

The Function List panel with perl_NEW was correct and with no delay at all !

Therefore, I now have the necessary equipment to test the Perl function list regexes and imagine possible new regexes. But just for myself, because I doubt I’ll find anything better than your solution !

Best Regards,

@Hyung-jun-Chang While not exactly what you asked for, if you press Ctrl+Alt+F it will fold the row where your marker is.
in your picture example, to fold number 3 you can press row 949 and then Ctrl+Alt+F. This should also work with rows 585, 586, 587, 867, 947, 948.
This should be a workaround instead of the “-” at the final row of the fold.
