Vertical edge (line) isn't visible

László Botka

My vertical edge has long been set to 132.

However with newer versions (perhaps since multiple values can be written) this vertical line is not visible, because there is a Space character after the number 132, as I experience. If I remove this Space, the vertical line immediately appears.
However, after restarting N++, there is no vertical line and again there is a Space character after the vertical edge setting (132).

Starting without plugins the vertical edge again visible, I found that “ExtSettings” is the delinquent, enough to disable it.
Because I don’t use it, I will uninstall.

@dinkumoil - just in case you haven’t seen this yet.

I tried to duplicate the OP’s experience and could not; all worked fine for me.

@Alan-Kilborn - interesting, I did a fresh local mode install (unzipped npp.7.8.7.bin.zip, 32 bit version), set the Vertical Edge, copied the ExtSettings folder containing ExtSettings.dll, and npp doesn’t show the Vertical Edge. If I remove ExtSettings folder , the vertical line appears fine.

It seems that all I contributed to this thread was noise; sorry.
I don’t use ExtSettings and I didn’t read far enough into your first posting before I went off and started trying things.
I suppose at this point I’d agree with the finding that ExtSettings is a factor in what you are seeing.
