        @bextrene ,

        Announcement threads are solely for commenting on whether or not the new version works as advertised (especially whether new bugs were introduced with this specific version compared to the version immediately before), not for generic feature requests. If you want to talk about features, you can create a post in the General Discussion section. And this Forum has a FAQ which explains the only place for official feature requests

            Something that was changed has completely broken Elastic Tabstops in my Columns++ plugin.

            I’ll post more when I figure out why this has happened.

              This change:
              execute(SCI_SETLAYOUTCACHE, SC_CACHE_DOCUMENT, 0);
              is the cause.

              I’m not sure if this would affect many other plugins — probably the Elastic Tabstops plugin, but no one appears to be maintaining that, and in my personal opinion it is hopelessly broken anyway — unless possibly some that do styling.

              I’m nearly certain I can fix the problem in my plugin (by temporarily undoing the optimization whenever I have to layout tabs); once I’ve done that I’ll post a new version and explain that the one in 8.7.6 Plugins Admin will be broken.

                Is the issue in Columns++ plugin solved after removing the line execute(SCI_SETLAYOUTCACHE, SC_CACHE_DOCUMENT, 0); ?

                More discussion on github:

                  Yes.

                  I recognized it relatively quickly only because I had come across a layout cache issue before — I had to disable it when word wrap was on. (I don’t remember now what went wrong, just that having word wrap and elastic tabstops on at the same time led to undesirable results.) I’ve fixed it by turning off the layout cache whenever I set custom tabstops.

                  Of course, if you don’t need that line, then removing it would be great for me, as the Plugins Admin version of Columns++ wouldn’t be broken.

                      Am I the only one noticing increased CPU utilization? (around 15 - 20% constantly)
                      And there is a weird function_pointer 0x00000… too.

                        That could be my problem - I’m looking into it right now.

                            Hello, @donho, @alan-kilborn and All,

                            I’ve tried, without success, yet to understand the point 11 :

                            1. Make the current line/position copyable in the Go to Line dialog.

                            Even, reading the corresponding bug-fix #15950 did not give me more clues about it !

                            Senility must be stalking me -:((

                            Best Regards

                            guy038

                              The control is now an edit box so, if one wants the data for the current line when the dialog is invoked, you can get it.
                              Rationale, imagine that you need the current line data, to paste somewhere else, and the current line is something like 135724680. Rather than remembering that big number, so you can put it somewhere else, you can now copy it for later pasting.

                              EDIT: You’d think that the $(CURRENT_LINE) variable in a Run menu > Run… entry could do it, with some echoing and some piping to clip, but I’m not even going to try playing with that…because I remember that if your caret is on line N, the $(CURRENT_LINE) variable expands to N-1 (which is not useful)! Bottom line: FAIL!

                              EDIT 2: Those who want to read or discuss more about this new feature can use this new topic, “Copying the current line number”

                                Hello, @donho, @alan-kilborn and All,

                                Oh… I see. Just a double-click to select the You are here zone contents, then a Ctrl + C action to place it in the clipboard and a Ctrl + V action anywhere else to get it !

                                Indeed, this enhancement could be sometimes useful !


                                And…, I am now reassured about my mental health ;-))

                                BR
