Notepad++ 7.8 Release
-
hi all. i have not posted before but since i think i have the solution i thought i should jump in.
@geminorum i see from your plugins screenshot you have the jN scripting plugin (and maybe other scripting plugins that i cant see) installed. if i can first of all point you to the relevant part of the scintilla docs at https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_SETTECHNOLOGY
so im assuming you (or some other script you maybe dont know about) have changed the rendering technology away from the default 0 setting. i do the same because i think it looks better (in ltr english of course!). anyway this is your problem as i can reproduce exactly the results you describe. set this setting back to 0 (default) will fix your issue, or at least it did for me! -

I have multiple instances of NPP with and without jN, and actually not using any scripts. (just installed to use my own js lib on NPP which was a failure.)
we were talking about multiple issues:
- problem on RTL layout switch: caused by a plugin:
DSpellCheck x64 v1.4.15 - problem with reversed order of words on unicode strings: appears on NPP, no problem on SciTE.
- problem with reversed left/right arrow key in RTL: very old one, since I remember using NPP. multiple reported issues on github and almost every time, dismissed as Scintilla’s. (which apperanlty caused by NPP, because Scintilla has no support for RTL layout.)
- problem with unicode text selection on LTR and RTL, that appears on both SciTE and NPP. with multiple reported issues on github.
set this setting back to 0 (default) will fix your issue, or at least it did for me!
the SciTE that I used for test, has no config file, supposedly with default settings. but I will try the config once I can figure out how to set them in SciTE.
and thank you for your input.

correction: the problem is only on LTR layout (both NPP and SciTE). on NPP in RTL is working fine.

@geminorum yeah, sorry, i wasnt clear. i was talking specifically about the rtl switch issue not the others. somehow i guess i missed the post where you said dspellcheck was the culprit so i didnt know you had fixed it at the time. maybe just a coincidence that i had replicated the exact issue as you described with a different plugin that you also happened to have installed… so weird!
-
even weirder still, the dspellcheck plugin does NOT cause that issue at my end!
