            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.
