Hi, a vertical white bar appeared after the last update… and I’d like to know what it is and how to make it black… thx! : )

Ok, I found that it was the “Change History Margin”… but when I made the “Background: Gray” then it made things worse… the current line of words now disappears:

So I went into settings and changed the “Current Line Indicator” to “(*) Frame: Width=1” which is perfect:

But, when I exit and restart NPP, the “Frame” setting does not “stick”…

Can someone help me keep “Frame=On” active forever??

see the FAQ

but when I made the “Background: Gray” then it made things worse… the current line of words now disappears:

They “Change History Margin” and “Current line background colour” are two separate entries in the Style configurator. One should not affect the other. I think you just hadn’t noticed.

I am curious which theme you are using, and which version of Notepad++ you upgraded from.

It sticks for me. Are you sure you have only one instance of Notepad++ open? Because otherwise, the other instance might have control of the preferences instead of the instance where you changed it. Even if you think you’ve already done these steps:

1. exit all copies of Notepad++
2. run one copy
3. change the Frame settings, CLOSE the dialog
4. exit Notepad++
5. run one copy: it should remember the Frame setting.

@networkproblemsolver
Your images show you seem to be running NPP as administrator. That could be the source of your problem.

Read this thread, there might be the solution.
