      I have issues with files [.wsc]
      Usually its VB or ASP language, but .wsc file has xml like format and VB coding in the body.
      Editor use autodetect <?xml version=“1.0”?> line in the beginning and made autoswitching to XML syntax.
      After changing Language to VB from menu - Editor again will switching to XML after using Tab between files.

      For now - impossible to work with .wsc files in VB or others syntax. Editor everytime will switch to XML

        Does not happen to me, what npp version are you using?
        Can be seen in debug-info from ? menu.
        What about using Style Configurator, selecting VB/VBS from Language and adding wsc to the User ext.: section?

          @Ekopalypse said in Disable autodetect syntax by content:

          Does not happen to me

          Are you sure you replicated @Ihor-Laputin 's conditions? Because it happened for me at home last night (and since I didn’t have a solution, I didn’t post then), and it happens at work for me this morning.

          I googled for “example wsc file”, and grabbed the example from this SO post. Using that file (saved as test.wsc), I get exactly the behavior described.

          Here’s an animated screenshot:

          At home, I had tried defining .wsc for a UDL, instead, with the same results. It seems that there’s some autodetect based on the content of <?xml version="1.0"?> that overrides the by-extension lexer definition, at least from what I can see and from what the OP describes.

              I see 7.8.5 on the your screen.
              For me - issues with .wsc files happened om all version till 7.8.4.
              The same as on the presentation from @PeterJones

                @Ekopalypse maybe something with the Settings in Preferences? maybe there is checkbox that can disable autodetect while switching between Tabs?

                  I found additional info.
                  This is not related to WSC extension.
                  The same happened with [New] file w/o saving - on the switch between Tabs will be same.
                  For repeat:

                  • create 2 new tabs w/o saving
                  • place <?xml version=“1.0”?> content into first Tab
                  • switch to VB language
                  • switch between Tabs
                  • its again xml language switched

                  how disable in the options - auto choosing syntax?

                    @Ekopalypse ,

                    I just tried a fresh portable 7.8.5 RC1 and it matched your experience rather than my previous experience.

                    Weird. A fresh portable 7.8.4 also matched your experience. But if I go back to my customized 7.8.4 portable (which I normally use), then it shows what Ihor and I have been seeing.

                    There must be a setting or plugin that’s causing this discrepancy. I’ll do some more investigation and post again later.

                      My workhorse is 7.8.2 and it doesn’t happen.
                      @Ihor-Laputin - I’m not aware that any of the settings is dedicated to this
                      but maybe a combination of different settings or a side effect of one setting is responsible for our different behavior.

                      @PeterJones - if it is a plugin, then it might XMLTools, I will give it a try
                      on my side as well.

                        Yes, if XMLTools is used and the option Set XML type automatically is set, then this happens.
                        @Ihor-Laputin , do you use XMLTools plugin?

                          @PeterJones YES! Man - its was good idea about plugin!!!
                          When you say plugin… I am going to check plugins that I have installed, and found [XML Tool 2.4.11]
                          that has has few settings. Only one option made this issues [Set XML type automatically] when this options is disabled - issue with autoswitching fixed.
                          Big thanks @PeterJones ))))

                            Well, I was working on confirming that disabling XML Tools worked for me when @Ekopalypse posted. Then I was working on confirming that disabling Set XML type automatically worked for me when @Ihor-Laputin posted.

                            I will just say “yep, those fixes work for me, too”, rather than all the details that used to be in this post-in-progress. :-)
