        @donho I think it is unintuitive, that you have to go to the Editing section of the Preferences dialog and set a checkbox there, before making EOL (CRLF) display customizable. Before reading this description I saw the entry “EOL custom color” in the Style Configurator, changed it and wondered, why it didn’t had any effect.

                Hello.
                It seems that TextFX plugin does not work anymore with this release.
                Would it be possible to make it work again?

                Thanks!

                          Items in Project panels, “Folder as workspace” panel, “Functions list” panel remain highlighted when mouse pointer is moved away if a dark theme is selected in dark mode.

                            There has been a regression. This line before the 0 would appear as blue, which is the correct thing to do in my yml files. Been that way for years and is very helpful. However, the version after 8.1.5 caused this to no longer be the case, and has negatively impacted my work. I’m currently staying in 8.1.5 until this issue is resolved.

                              @leion247,

                              The YAML lexer was changed in Lexilla 5.1.0: “In YAML, treat a:b (without space) as text, not key-value pair”

                              The first Notepad++ version to use Lexilla was 8.4.

                              So:

                              • the “regression” is not unique to 8.4.3
                              • any version of Notepad++ before 8.4 will lex YAML in the former way

                              If you think the YAML lexer is wrong, you can open an issue against Lexilla: https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/issues

                                Hello, @don-ho and All,

                                Don, I’ve just noticed that the menu option ? > Notepad++ Online User Manual cannot be found in Settings > Shortcut Mapper` :-(

                                And I’m afraid that it has been the case since Peter starts the new N++ documentation, on September 2019

                                To my mind, the possibility of create a shortcut for the N++'s documentation ( let’s say Shift + F1 ) should probably be useful ;-))

                                  Or, just make it shortcuttable, without assigning a default shortcut.

                                      FYI, v8.4.3 did not fully resolve the issue of unwanted backgrounds in print selections. It needs this recent patch, which only Scintilla 5.2.4 currently has.

                                        Could you provide the way to reproduce it?
                                        I tried to print the selection, but it seems to me fine (with the grey colour).

                                          @donho,

                                          Could you provide the way to reproduce it?

                                          At least two users confirm that 8.4.3 prints a grey background even when black on white mode is selected: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11826#issuecomment-1177862984

                                          The root of the problem is the new selection style API and the limitations of legacy GDI (*1). Before Scintilla 5.x, there was just one style for selected text, and the API only knew about 24-bit RGB colors. Now there are distinct, separate styles for active (focused) text selections and inactive (unfocused) ones, and the API assumes every color to be in 32-bit ARGB format.

                                          v8.4.3 got the first patch, but that only made the active selection style transparent. To do the job properly, the second patch makes the alpha channel transparent for every selection style: “additional, secondary, and inactive”:

                                            About the two new shortcuts added to the menu bar, can this be hidden in any way? I’m not really understanding the point of this addition when they already can be achieved many other ways;

                                            https://i.imgur.com/dr6XaqO.png

                                            Not to mention you can also just double-click the tab bar to make new, or middle-click to delete them.

                                            All-in-all it just adds clutter IMO.

                                            Perhaps have them only appear if you have the menu bar/tool bar set as hidden? But it’s probably better and just easier to have them their own setting to just hide the shortcuts all together.
