Notepad++ 8.4 Release - Keep standing up for Ukraine

pnedev

Thanks for the effort and for the new version, much appreciated.

I recently added N++ version check in my plugins and noticed that there is an issue with NPPM_GETNPPVERSION message.
In Notepad++ v8.3.3 LOWORD(version) gives 33 which is OK but
in Notepad++ v8.4 LOWORD(version) gives 4 which should be 40 in my understanding.

Tell me if I should file an issue for that or you will fix it “on the fly”, thanks.

@donho ,

I see that there is already an issue for that: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11535.

Sorry for writing about it here again, it is of course not connected with N++ 8.4 itself.

What is the next step? Will someone fix it?

If you think it is a bug, you can create an issue. You could also use a scripting plugin like NppExec or PythonScript to adjust it.

Cheers.

Maybe I don’t understand you, or I did it wrong, but I already created this issue:

Thanks. How will it work?

Has anyone else noticed that reloading a file with CTRL+R makes the code style and/or fold levels disappear until you refocus the tab?

This regression was initially blamed on the NppFTP plugin
until I reproduced it myself: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11585#issuecomment-1111979650

It appears to just keep the same background color of selection with the window in or out of focus. Thanks @donho !

The user defined syntax colors disappear after reloading the program by pressing Ctrl-R.
I have to click on the language again to make the syntax color active again.

@argyle-trees,
That will be fixed in the next release: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/9cc01de97c8d2a617c7ada7aba6854a9f7e1426b

Updated to Notepad++ 8.4 and still cannot save a XML file with ~46000 words - Notepad++ is not responding. When I copy all code and paste it in a new file I can save it. Using Symantec Encryption Desktop on my pc.

@i-am-connected,
The XML Tools plugin is probably the cause: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11603#issuecomment-1111879226

Hi!

The default colors of html and php codes in the editor do not work as expected.

PeterJones

@ffgmusik ,

The PHP lexer renders tag names using the Style Configurator > PHP > DEFAULT style. And the initial setting for that style is black text on white background, which is what your screenshot shows.

The HTML would render similar text slightly differently:

This is because it uses the HTML > TAG style for rendering tag names:

rdipardo

@ffgmusik,
previous Notepad++ versions did automatically activate HTML tag highlighting when opening PHP files (as well as *.asp and *.jsp files):

  else if ((type == L_HTML) || (type == L_PHP) || (type == L_ASP) || (type == L_JSP))
  {
     execute(SCI_SETLEXER, SCLEX_HTML);
     // ...
  }

The code providing this feature was accidentally removed during the Scintilla 5 upgrade, just before the 8.4 release. It will work again in the next release: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/2fbac354ed00a7723b18f688f922a2ffb114cb13

Notepad++ 8.4 “Print Selection” is printing the selected text along with highlights as shown on screen making the print hard to read as it is black text with dark grey background on a black and white printer. We have uninstalled, and moved back to Notepad++ 8.3.3 and the issue is no longer present.
