            Starting with 8.3 and 8.3.1 when I try to create a new file with different character set the software does not allow me to save directly. I need to click Save As in order save file.

            To replicate:

            • Open new tab on Notpad++
            • Without writing anything click Encoding menu and Character Sets
            • Choose any chracter set
            • Write or copy paste some text
            • You will see that Save button is grey and Save option under File menu is greyed out
            • I have to click Save as or Save Copy As option in order to create a new file.
            • After creating a new file with these options tab name does not change to the saved file name. For example it stays new 2 where as I saved my file as test.txt

            This was working fine on 8.2.1

            I am using 32 bit version. Did not test this on 64 bit.

              Switching to another tab and back, “Save” is enabled.

                In that case as you have said save button becomes active however when I save the file, the tab name stays new 1. Whereas it should be the name of the file.
                Still I don’t think changing tabs should be a solution.

                  @john56099089,

                  Changing tabs is certainly not a solution.
                  I just wanted to add another point to your detailed report.

                  Thank you for finding it and sharing.

                    It’s fixed in https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/2321e648ae467cbecf8388f143ad71a86a05a472 .

                    The new release with the fix will come in a couple of days.
                    Sorry for the inconvenience.

                      Not sure if this is a regression or a modification in how the feature is implemented (if it’s the latter, I’d be interested in the documentation for this feature):
                      when adding syntax for a user-defined language, the comments are not highlighted.

                      Additionally, although it’s not a new problem: Notepad++ handles Fortran both in free-form and fixed-form. However the “f” file extension is associated to free-form: I believe it should be fixed-form, as explained here: https://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/File+extensions

                        A question: I’m using Notepad++ 32 bits, and I use heavily the TextFX plugin that is on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/TextFX/.
                        Has this plugin been updated for 64 bits and/or for the 8.3.1 version? Is the old version on SourceForge still working in 8.3.1? (apparently yes, but there might be known bugs)

                          TextFX

                          Is ancient. There is no very good 64-bit version and most of the functionality has been incorporated into N++ or other plugins. I gave up using it years ago with no ill effects.

                          Cheers.

                            I know it’s old, but I really need the ability to sort lines, with all TextFX options: sort unique or not, case sensitive or not, sort at given column using a vertical selection. Is this built in Notepad++ or available in a maintained addin?

                                  means that one of your .net-based plugins is facing the problem of the recent API changes.

                                        I am having an issue with the UDL. I made a UDL for RenPy. It uses Python as it’s base coding language so I based if off your Python language file.

                                        Using # for comment line style doesn’t work. The way I have it set up is that the # is also an operator in 8.3 comments are green and as an operator it is red. I have it set that way because # is also used when setting a text color like this: “{color=#0f0} Some Text”.

                                        In 8.3.1 it doesn’t recognize the comment line so all # are red. Also when I import my UDL it resets the comment line style and there is no # in the comment line style open slot. I then type it back in but nothing happens when I do all the hash tags stay red.

                                        It is like it is completely ignoring the comment line style I even went back and forth between the two versions to see if I could get it to work and I couldn’t. I was using the installer version and it auto updated to 8.3.1 so now I am using the portable version so I didn’t have to keep installing and uninstalling it to see if I could get it to work.

                                          @who-what said in Notepad++ v8.3.1 release:

                                          Using # for comment line style doesn’t work.

                                          No. Using # for comment line style doesn’t work if you also define # as an operator. There is a difference. And it’s nothing new in or specific to v8.3.1 release… so if you really want to discuss a multi-purpose # (which somehow works as an operator and a comment-start character), you can start a new discussion in the Help Wanted section of the Forum.

                                          Please leave this “Notepad++ v8.3.1 release” topic for discussion of issues directly caused by this version of Notepad++.

                                            Thats not true I’m doing it right now in 8.3 and it is working fine my comment lines are green and when inside of say {} it is red. Then when I update to 8.3.1 it stops working.

                                            Also even if I remove the # from the operators list it still does not turn green therefore comment line style is not working properly.
