I rarely use EOL.
Different color, so intended?

If you want your problem/question to get solved/replied, you have to ask more smartly. Provide more information, will you?

Thank you for your great work.

What’s your settings in Editing section of Preferences dialog?

Default.
If I change to plain text style changes but color remains.
Only on a custom color does it align (color).

Artur Harison

A little more information.
CRLF in comment steel obey to Global Styles ->Default Style color.
A ordinary text line obey Default text of language style color (In my case XML->DEFAULT)

What’s your settings in Editing section of Preferences dialog?

Default.

So you just answered your question by yourself.
It’s the default behaviour in Scintilla. Check the previous versions of Notepad++ then you will see such behaviour remains the same.

Artur Harison

Okay, It was weird for me.
I thought it should be in one style.
Sorry!

Hi there,
seems like in the release candidate the “old” search results are not collapsed in case a new search was started.

Please check 5. Fix Find in files performance regression since updating Scintilla (Fix #11814)

FYI, the v8.4.3 binaries are updated and included an important performance fix regarding the 5. Fix Find in files performance regression since updating Scintilla (Fix #11814): The folding previous result in Search result window has been added back.

Please redownload the binaries if you want to process your tests.

You might be interested in this feature’s back.

Hi Don,

Thanks for improvements!

Minor issue with using translations. The below language items are not picked up by Notepad++ if running on Hungarian Win10:

<contextMenu-styleAlloccurrencesOfToken value="Style all occurrences of token" />
<contextMenu-styleOneToken value="Style one token" />
<contextMenu-clearStyle value="Clear style" />
<contextMenu-PluginCommands value="Plugin commands" />

Check this screenshot about right-click: (of course it’s translated):

But it’s strange, when I run Notepad++ (with hungarian translation) on English Win10, then those items are displayed in Hungarian! And each 4 displayed, not that 3 in screenshot.

I’m using npp.8.4.3.Installer.x64.exe Build “2022-07-06 02:04”

Second, only a question. Where these language items are used in program?

<Item id="43501" name="Close Selected"/>
<Item id="43502" name="Close Others"/>
<Item id="43503" name="Copy Selected Names"/>
<Item id="43504" name="Copy Selected Pathnames"/>

Thanks
György

Ignore second question. I found. Those displayed in ‘Document List’, when multiple tabs are selected , with right click. :)
