@donho

Probably due to the Scintilla API change that now excludes the trailing NUL character - which would make each string one character shorter?

Well I seem to have found one. Not sure if this is just regarding UDL’s Function List, but whenever a tab is picked, and then goes back to the original document that is UDL defined, the FunctionList is no longer working…ie, the FunctionList is empty of the Function List definitions for that file.
The following screenshots are titled accordingly, InitialDocOpen, PostDarkModeUDL selected, change doc tab and switch back to UDL tab.
Notice the final pic, that shows the FunctionList is empty after switching tabs.

I cannot reproduce this.

@michael-vincent Sigh…never mind. Apparently my fingers screwed up the typing in the overrideMap.xml file that I was switching to. I don’t know how, but it was misspelled on the letter that the cursor was on. I looked at it closer and noticed it was spelled “Dard” rather than “Dark” which is what the name was. What’s wierd is it actually showed it briefly, under regular dBASE…apparently the switch redrew it so even though it showed in the first Dark mode setting, when the tabs were switched and then refocused on it,…it didn’t read it…until I just corrected the spelling in the overrideMap.xml file. Sorry for the false alarm. :( (egg on face)

FYI:
There are still some regressions in this version, so this release will be triggered for the auto-updating.
I feel more confident about the stability of v8.4.2 for the auto-updating.

Please check this issue.

That plugin has not been updated in years. It is no longer fully compatible with modern Notepad++'s API.

Besides, Notepad++ has had “make uppercase” for years. See the edit menu

@fazhan-nur-rezza-fauzi,
the problem with v8.4.1 (and v8.4) is the Scintilla API version it uses. Scintilla 5.1.5 changed the return value of its APIs to not count the terminating NULL in the total length of the string. Obviously TextFx was programmed to expect a string length + 1.
