Notepad++ 8.4 Release - Keep standing up for Ukraine
-
My default style - selected text background color is set to light blue.
When the tab isn’t in focus, for example in case of Ctrl F dialog, settings popups, multiple documents opened,
the selected text background color changes to quite dark grey.No such color change in previous versions.
Is this a bug, or there is a setting for this case.

It is not a bug, but there is not yet a setting. It’s new from the Scintilla 5 upgrade. See
SC_ELEMENT_SELECTION_INACTIVE_BACK.Cheers.

@donho ,
Thanks for the effort and for the new version, much appreciated.
I recently added N++ version check in my plugins and noticed that there is an issue with NPPM_GETNPPVERSION message.
In Notepad++ v8.3.3LOWORD(version)gives 33 which is OK but
in Notepad++ v8.4LOWORD(version)gives 4 which should be 40 in my understanding.Tell me if I should file an issue for that or you will fix it “on the fly”, thanks.

@donho ,
I see that there is already an issue for that: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11535.
Sorry for writing about it here again, it is of course not connected with N++ 8.4 itself.

What is the next step? Will someone fix it? -

If you think it is a bug, you can create an issue. You could also use a scripting plugin like NppExec or PythonScript to adjust it.
Cheers.

Thanks. How will it work?

Has anyone else noticed that reloading a file with
CTRL+Rmakes the code style and/or fold levels disappear until you refocus the tab?This regression was initially blamed on the NppFTP plugin
until I reproduced it myself: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11585#issuecomment-1111979650 -

It appears to just keep the same background color of selection with the window in or out of focus. Thanks @donho !
Cheers.

The user defined syntax colors disappear after reloading the program by pressing Ctrl-R.
I have to click on the language again to make the syntax color active again. -
@argyle-trees,
That will be fixed in the next release: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/9cc01de97c8d2a617c7ada7aba6854a9f7e1426b -
Updated to Notepad++ 8.4 and still cannot save a XML file with ~46000 words - Notepad++ is not responding. When I copy all code and paste it in a new file I can save it. Using Symantec Encryption Desktop on my pc.
@Bugfix 13 -
@i-am-connected,
The XML Tools plugin is probably the cause: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11603#issuecomment-1111879226 -
Hi!
The default colors of html and php codes in the editor do not work as expected.

-
The PHP lexer renders tag names using the Style Configurator > PHP > DEFAULT style. And the initial setting for that style is black text on white background, which is what your screenshot shows.

The HTML would render similar text slightly differently:

This is because it uses the HTML > TAG style for rendering tag names:
