Notepad++ doesn't find the accented characters with the "Find in files" function

Alan Kilborn

The last working version was the 7.6.6 one.

I see a “big” version bump in Scintilla between N++ 7.6.6 (uses Scintilla 3.5.6) and N++ 7.7 (uses Scintilla 4.1.4). Maybe there is something in that which drives this behavior change? Of course, maybe not as well…

Ok, thank you ^^
At least, I can try to write a bug report on Github with all the details even if others tried before, you never know…

I would certainly say you should ADD to the existing one I linked earlier…did you see that link?

Atelier Traduction

Yeah. If you think this is better, ok, I just will do that.

Done, let’s pray now.

THIS seems to give some weight to my “Scintilla update” theory (or guess, actually).

Hi, @atelier-traduction, @alan-kilborn and All,

Aaaaah, yes :-(( @atelier-traduction, you’re quite right about it. I’ve never noticed that bug, yet ! Indeed, as I replied, in that forum, in English, all my text files are, mainly, written in English, so without any accentuated characters !

Compared to you, with my local N++ configuration, the accentuated characters are even not displayed at all, in the Search result panel !

This only happens under three conditions :

A search has been successful and the file is currently seen in the Search result panel
The file is presently not opened in a Notepad++ session, either in the main or in the secondary session
The file is ANSI encoded ( All the other Unicode encodings are OK ! )

Note that, in addition, if the search, itself, contained accentuated characters, the Find result panel does not show the ANSI file !

I also confirm, as you said, that this bug occurs since Notepad++ V7.7

I get no time, presently, but I’ll open an issue on GitHub very soon !

I just would like to add that the “Search result” doesn’t find anything if accentuated characters are searched for.

You can see these squares because I put the term “em” to find. If I put “rétablissement”, the “Search result” panel doesn’t find anything, so I don’t agree with the “the file is currently seen in the Search result panel” part. Or I misinterpreted your phrasing.

Hi, All,

Done ! See my comment on GitHub :

https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/7668#issuecomment-645602955

After further tests, problem occurs with any character between \x{0080} and \x{00FF}
