FunctionList omits the first Letter of the functionname sometimes

Ivan Lippens

The FunctionList is a great help, thanks, but it seems there is a little bug in it:
A function named ‘Formula’ becames ‘ormula’ in the FunctionList, iFoto becames Foto, etc.
In fact, every functionname starting with ‘if’, ‘for’ or ‘where’, loses its first letter in the FunctionList.

I disagree:

The function list processing is different for every language. So maybe you have incorrectly defined the function list regular expression for your language if you are the one who defined it, or maybe the particular language that you are using has its default regular expression with a bug under certain circumstances – but it is not a bug in the overall FunctionList feature, as can be seen by my Perl example above.

Unfortunately, you have not given us enough information with which we can reproduce your problem, or help you with it. Please answer the following if you would like help:

Share your ?-menu’s Debug Info
What Language-menu’s entry is selected for your file
Share a screenshot similar to mine that shows the example code, the example FunctionList rendering, and shows the full status bar along the bottom (including the segment on the left that lists the file type there, like “Perl source file” in my example)
Share a snippet of your code: after you paste your code, select it, then use the </> button in the forum-post toolbar to mark it
For example, my Perl example from my screenshot is:

sub Formula {}
sub iFoto {
}
sub ifSomething {}
sub forSomething {}
sub whereforeartthou {}

It’s most likely the function definition of the language you’re using - the file in Notepad++/functionList/ .

What language are you using? Is it a custom-defined function list XML file?

Cheers.
