      Hi!

      The default colors of html and php codes in the editor do not work as expected.

        @ffgmusik ,

        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:

          @ffgmusik,
          previous Notepad++ versions did automatically activate HTML tag highlighting when opening PHP files (as well as *.asp and *.jsp files):

            else if ((type == L_HTML) || (type == L_PHP) || (type == L_ASP) || (type == L_JSP))
            {
               execute(SCI_SETLEXER, SCLEX_HTML);
               // ...
            }
          

          The code providing this feature was accidentally removed during the Scintilla 5 upgrade, just before the 8.4 release. It will work again in the next release: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/2fbac354ed00a7723b18f688f922a2ffb114cb13

            Notepad++ 8.4 “Print Selection” is printing the selected text along with highlights as shown on screen making the print hard to read as it is black text with dark grey background on a black and white printer. We have uninstalled, and moved back to Notepad++ 8.3.3 and the issue is no longer present.

              I found a problem with the scroll in version 8.4 and needed to go back to the previous version (8.3.3). I use a laptop and a touchpad. The page instead of going line by line, rolls several lines at the same time obstructing the view of the code. In version 8.3.3 this problem does not occur.
              I have already changed the options in settings > preferences > editing and do not resolve.
