Notepad++ v7.9.5 released

ImSpecial

I don’t use those so cannot comment on them, but at least I’m not alone in this notepad issue.

Manuel Ortega

@ImSpecial you’re alone. I have win 10 and notepad ++ works fine. Uninstall old version and reinstall new version what are stupid reasons are here xD

@Manuel-Ortega

Pretty weird that “I’m alone” on this when user mere-human just above me confirmed he gets them too.

I also never said that my notepad++ “didn’t work fine”, only that these Events are a newish development, maybe started when the XP dropping? change happened a few versions back, and I am only wondering if these are a system specific issue or if it’s a general OS thing that others are also seeing, which would be of a less concern.

By the way, do you know the exact version when it started? Maybe, it could help to narrow issue down.

@Manuel-Ortega said in Notepad++ v7.9.5 released:

Show Indent Guide and Enable scrolling beyond last line feature is still turned on by default

I don’t find that “Enable scrolling beyond last line” is “on by default”.
I do find that “Show Indent Guide” is “on by default”.
But…who cares? Turn them off if you don’t like them on.

Can anyone with Windows 7 confirm that? Maybe, because it has been used for a small amount of time there.

I don’t see this on my Windows7 x64 OS.

It took me a bit of time to find the area of Event Viewer that you show.
It might have helped to provide a complete “path” to the area for others that might want to check theirs. Here’s how I “drilled down” to find it:

In the left-hand pane, navigate this tree:

Event Viewer (Local)
Applications and Services Logs
Microsoft
Windows
Application-Experience
Program-Telemetry

And yes, I do see the same thing on Windows 10.
And I see this in Notepad++ as far back as version 6.7.5 (the earliest I had handy to try).

No I do not know exactly when they started showing up, and frankly it would be way to much effort to do so, since even if I did find the exact version of notepad++, would it get fixed? doubtful…

@Alan-Kilborn

My picture if very quite clear actually.

You’re under the impression that something needs fixing here. Given that apparently a lot of common applications do this as noted above.

My picture if very quite clear actually.

Don’t be daft. It’s only “quite clear” if someone is very familiar with Event Viewer.

I googled with keywords “event viewer compatibility fix applied to” without finding any answer. No idea what it is but it seems not an important issue.

mere-human

The last hope in this “Event Viewer compatibility fix message” issue would be to ask on some Microsoft forums.

ImSpecial

@mere-human

IMO, you’re better off finding out by disabling this “compatibility fix” fixing (probably a Windows Service of similar name) and running notepad++ then, and “hopefully” notice some kind of issue and fix said issue. Then once fixed, maybe this “compatibility fix” won’t happen anymore. (A big if :P)

ImSpecial

There’s also a Group Policy that does just that.

FYI:
Notepad++'s Auto-updater has been triggered for updating to v7.9.5.

In the latest version, the functionlist definition of markdown does not work. Creating a new custom file does not work either.

I’m away from my PC right now, but isn’t the file you want here named something like “override_map”?

Yes it does. As @Alan-Kilborn said, the <association> tags don’t go in notepad++\functionList.xml anymore: the behavior was changed in v7.9.1. As is documented in the function list overview and config files: function list pages of the npp-user-manual.org, it goes in notepad++\functionList\overrideMap.xml .

It’s also documented there that the <association> tags no longer require/support the ext="..." attribute.

If you do a search of the forum for “function list”, and you will find at least two very recent threads with examples of the exact steps necessary to get function list working with your UDL.

@Alan-Kilborn @PeterJones Thanks, I added the following line in “Notepad++\functionList\overrideMap.xml” and it can be displayed correctly.

<association id="Markdown_Monokai.xml" userDefinedLangName="Markdown_Monokai"/>

I noticed an issue with the “style token” feature. The problem is that styling is not applied consistently within words.

We have line 1: “training” and line 2: “train”.

Case 1: If I select “train” on line 2 and style that then only “train” on line 2 is styled.

Case 2: If I select “train” on line 1 and style that then “train” on lines 1 and 2 are styled.

https://i.imgur.com/QbbT21R.png

I tried older versions of Notepad++, through 7.8, and deleted my %appdata%\notepad++ folder between tests, but the older versions have the same behavior. It must be a coincidence I noticed this now.

I’m accustomed to case 2 where “train” is always styled: even within words. Somehow, that is the way styling worked out in the past.

It really is a bit, well, awkward, isn’t it?
Here’s how it works:

If you select some text, if that text is a full “word”, then N++ will check the Match whole word only setting in the Find dialog to decide what to do. If that is ticked, it will only do the selected word occurrences and NOT the occurrences where that word is part of a larger word. For all other input conditions it will also do whole words and parts of longer words.

That description might be hard to understand; it is even harder to remember.
