      Here’s an interesting one. If you do a regular expression search for ^, for example, Notepad++ will put up an annotation indicating ^ zero length match. However, if something else (e.g. the Find window) is in the same screen space, the annotation will appear closer to the user than the other entity. Perhaps a screenshot helps:

      Here the annotation should clearly be under the Find window, not on top of it.

      I should/will put in a bug report.

      BTW, I’ve never really liked that the zero-length-match annotation uses ^ as part of its text – easy to confuse the meaning with the ^ used in the regex. The annotation attempts to use it to point to something (totally different meaning).

        Not to be pedantic, but that actually isn’t an “annotation” in the sense of a Scintilla annotation. It’s actually a “calltip” in the Scintilla sense. Using those terms in the issue report may help a quicker fix?

        Cheers.

          I was actually working on some script code that deals with annotations at the time I noticed that, so I guess that was on my mind. :-)
