Notepad++ 8.4 Release - Keep standing up for Ukraine

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:

@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.
