Bug with annotations relating to z-order
-
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. :-)
