I can confirm that the behavior of saving files has been changed

FlushBuffersFile is used

Thank @pnedev , he found the solution. Not me :)

#8833 seems to break all existing themes

Nice catch.
It’s fixed in 7.9.1 RC2:

@deus-ex

Huge thanks for adding case insensitive lines sorting (Implement #4479).

Thank @SCOTT SUMNER - it’s his implementation.

@guy038

You’re very early ( around 5:30 am ), aren’t you ?

Rather very “late” :)

@pnedev

Huge thanks for adding case insensitive lines sorting (Implement #4479). I ran several tests, the results were always as expected. Finally, this allows me to migrate to the 64-bit version of Notepad++ since I do not depend on the 32-bit plugin NppTextFX for case insensitive line sorting anymore.

Then I compared the previous one with the new one and haven’t
found any differences, so I restarted the old one and now it appears there as well. Hmmm … strange.

But the second pics are with default theme.

but why isn’t it loaded in the dialog??

If you’re using Obsidian as your previous picture seemed to indicate, you’ll need to add that Bookmark Margin to the Obsidian.xml them.

@Alan-Kilborn

I guess there needs to be “theme maintainers” like there are “localization” maintainers.

Yes, I thought that myself too. I’ve made available my Obsidian theme - please note there are some changes to the default “global styles” in my version. I also added languages that were not originally in it and updated all the other languages to match the “WordStyle” changes reflected in the stylers.model.xml (as of a few months ago).

Cheers.

I cannot see how to set the margin background color from within the dialog.

Not a problem for me:

Waouuuu ! What an avalanche of fixes, improvements and new functionalities ! I have not yet downloaded N++ v7.9.1 RC and I don’t know the version number policy but I think this version could have been called v8.0 !

Oh, I also noticed the time of your announcement : You’re very early ( around 5:30 am ), aren’t you ? Thanks you for your constant involvement with our beloved text editor !

Best Regards,
