      Hello Claudia,

      Thanks again. :)

      Using the latest commit - wrong results.

      A few minuets ago I downloaded the source up to this commit and got correct results.

      I think the problem started here. I can test again and verify it.

      Best regards.

              This is were I currently investigate, to be more precise I assume the issue in addBlankSection.

              Cheers

                You’re amazing.

                On one hand I think that it’s too much, but on the other hand I don’t want you to stop. :)

                I was about to start investigating it myself; I was overwhelmed by the scale of the unfamiliar code.

                Thank you very much!

                  It might be that this was a hasty reaction as it could be that the function already got the wrong value.
                  What I can say so far is that the inserttext from addBlankSection

                  ::SendMessage(window, SCI_INSERTTEXT, posAdd, (LPARAM)buff.data());
                  

                  only gets one '\r\n”

                  {'text': '\r\n',            'modificationType': 0x11,      'linesAdded': 1, 'length': 2, 'position': 3, 'line': 0 }
                  

                  whereas my dll gets three

                  {'text': '\r\n\r\n\r\n',    'modificationType': 0x11,      'linesAdded': 3, 'length': 6, 'position': 3, 'line': 0 }
                  

                  Test was done with two files, one having

                  1
                  5
                  

                  whereas the other has

                  1
                  2
                  3
                  4
                  5
                  

                  It is most likely that I need your help to find out what the problem is, meaning
                  you need to do some debugging as well. But not for today, I need to have a rest.
                  Maybe we can go on tomorrow?

                  Cheers
                  Claudia

                    Good morning Claudia,

                    I hope you’re reading these lines after having a good and refreshing rest.

                    I find it difficult to enlarge the variety of my thanks expressions.
                    So, many thanks again. :)

                    I’ve never used the Debugger.
                    Bear with me.

                    Have a great day.

                      Hello Yaron,

                      The problem is generated by a compiler bug. It tries to optimize a little bit too much. ;-)

                      Either disable optimization, by right clicking on compare in project explorer,
                      properties -> C/C++ -> all options -> Optimization and change its value

                      or the preferred way

                      update your visual studio 2013 to latest version. ;-)

                      Cheers
                      Claudia

                        Hello Claudia,

                        You never cease to amaze me.
                        I take my hat off. Oracle Claudia!

                        Thank you so much. I’m truly grateful.

                        Could you please enlighten me and explain briefly how you got it?
                        I hope it’s not a trade secret. :)

                        Best regards.

                          Hello Yaron,

                          no, it isn’t a trade secret ;-) - but it wasn’t really a clever job, it was just an eliminating process and LUCK.

                          I only tell you the steps which lead to the finding not the many wasted miserable steps I’ve done before. ;-)

                          After I didn’t find any obvious issues which could explain reported behavior I thought about the differences of your
                          and mine environment. After that I setup an windows 7 32 bit with visual studio 2013. Downloaded source and compiled it.
                          Tested it and it worked. Even more confused as I expected it to fail. Thought about it again and started comparing yours and mine.
                          Same W7, same VS2013, same source -> different results.
                          Same W7 (?) -> didn’t install all updates -> didn’t use Hebrew = keep in mind
                          VS2013 -> same
                          source-> same, you did even test it with different npp version as I read.
                          So it must be W7 -> why??? Did a search on the internet about reporting problem with VS2013 and non-english language.
                          Results, but nothing pointing to such an issue.
                          Then I did a search about problems with visual studio and having different language. And while scanning the result
                          I saw one who had an issue installing an update - that’s where I started thinking about different version.
                          I had VS2013 update 4 already so I gave it a chance and -> compiled the source and tested it -> problem was the same.

                          You see, no rocket science.

                          Cheers
                          Claudia

                            Hello Claudia,

                            Thank you for the explanation. You know, men can get curious too. :)

                            And now I just can’t help it.
                            After explaining the process of reasoning leading to her famous deductions, Shirley Holmes’ insights seemed to lose some of their former glamour.
                            But then on a second thought the shine became even brighter.

                            Well, I assumed you had performed some searches and tests.
                            Now that I know the scale of those actions, my gratitude grows and deepens.

                            And finally, rocket science would be no “rocket science” for you. :)

                            Best regards.
