        @donho ,

        FYI: the v8.3.1 regression mentioned in MaDill’s issue #11239 and @who-what’s report in the v8.3.1 announcement thread (which I confirmed) seems to have been half-fixed (or at least behaves differently at first), but it’s still not working like it did in v8.3 and earlier.

        In v8.3.2 RC, I get the right comment highlighting, which is an improvement over v8.3.1 where it didn’t correctly highlight: b5dea8c2-d43a-42cc-bbcb-71f18ddafd23-image.png

        However, if I look at Comment Line Style, which was defined in the original UDL XML file as <Keywords name="Comments">00# 01 02((EOL)) 03 04</Keywords> (see my post in the v8.3.1 thread for the full UDL file), the entry field is blank, even though the XML still is defined correctly:
        8f2e2061-20c3-4091-8146-1484b9ab7c19-image.png

        Now I make a simple change: I add PRE1 to PREFIX 1 and PRE2 to PREFIX 2 in the Number Style section.
        29dd3df4-6182-4b76-9c3e-ddd355536b0b-image.png

        Then I exit out of Notepad++ and reload. The Comment & Number page looks the same as it did before I exited. And the UDL’s renpy.xml properly updated Numbers, prefix1 and Numbers, prefix2 settings. But it’s cleared out the Comments values.
        80b3ab88-6734-4567-8cf9-d224287983f1-image.png

        And now, if I go back to my example tab with the renpy language active, the highlighting is incorrect – it has lost the comment-line-style highlighting, as the XML change implies.

        The UDL Comment regression still exists in v8.3.2, just like it did in v8.3.1.

          @donho ,

          On (5) I have confirmed $(CURRENT_LINESTR) works. And all the people who have been asking for tab sorting should love (4), which I also confirmed meets my expectations.

          So far, other than what I just mentioned, v8.3.2 RC is looking good to me, and it seems to do what the update-list implies.

          Thanks for all your effort.

            Well I have checked this issue but cannot identify the source of problem.
            @xomx Maybe you have any idea about the source of bug?

              Yes, I think I have found the culprit.

              Doing some more testing just now. If ok, I will proceed to PR.
              The fix should also solve the #11239.

                Your pics (especially the ones with the “<Keywords name=“Comments”>…” lines visible) helped me to understand & find that bug, thanks.

                Could you please test the same with the patched N++:

                  I’m willing, but it will have to be after work (it’s still early in my workday), as I.T. blocks me from downloading appveyor artifacts.

                    I tried it once I got home: yes, it’s working correctly now: the Comment definition correctly displays, and if I make a change in one of the other boxes and exit, they all get saved, and the Comment definition stays intact.

                    Thanks for the fix!
