      @donho ,

      I’ve started using this as my primary, and so far nothing has jumped out as being a problem for me.

      Thanks for all the effort from you and the other contributors!

        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++ v8.3.3 LOWORD(version) gives 33 which is OK but
            in Notepad++ v8.4 LOWORD(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.

              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.

                  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.

                              Has anyone else noticed that reloading a file with CTRL+R makes 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 !

                                    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.

                                        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.

                                          The XML Tools plugin is probably the cause: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11603#issuecomment-1111879226
