two last version quit unexpected after open file with name with multiple dot in example

My initial guess is that you have a plugin that needs to be updated. Please see our FAQ which gives the steps necessary to verify whether or not it is a plugin, and narrow it down to which plugin.

@PeterJones hi @PeterJones .
thank for your answer.

i remove and reinstall all plugns and do not resolve the issue.
after reinstall continue .
reviewing the config.xml file in the section

<GUIConfig name=“DockingManager”

i change the attribute isVisible for every PluginDlg nodes from isVisible=“Yes” to isVisible=“no”

changing one after one
from
<PluginDlg pluginName=“xxx” id=“n” curr=“n” prev=“n” isVisible=“yes” />
to
<PluginDlg pluginName=“xxx” id=“n” curr=“n” prev=“n” isVisible=“no” />

appears this resolve the unexpected quit.

Fiddling with the new EOL display customizable feature, I found out a very small unnoticeable bug in Styler Configurator (I guess probably no one cares about):

In Styler Configurator, the selected color is NOT the one of the current entry, but the last one that was clicked in a former entry.

@SeagramFR

I think it is working correctly, both from my own experimentation, and even with what you show. The current foreground color in your case is red, and the CRLF is showing in that color. The green that you have circled doesn’t come into play (and shouldn’t, unless you click on it). Or maybe I’m missing something.

I think @SeagramFR is referring to the following case:
Open the Styler Configurator.
More colors…
Select a different color than the current one.
Select another style.
More colors…

Result:
The selected color in “More colors” is not that of the current style but rather the previously-set-style’s color.

(It’s not specifically related to EOL).

Result:
The selected color in “More colors” is not that of the current style but rather the previously-set-style’s color.

There’s no pre-selected colour for “More color” popup.
Isn’t it the case to you?

[Yaron]

@donho,

When you first open “More colors”, no color is selected.
But if you select a color, move to another style and re-open the “More colors” popup - a color IS selected.
And it’s not the color of the current style.

It’s an interesting observation.

[Yaron]

I apologize.

I did not mean the “More colors” popup, but the color pallet which opens on clicking the square color control.

Document Map

I use 4K screen. Is this normal ? I can’t see anything on the right. Color background shown in the middle.
Should I change the display settings, or is this a regression of NP++?

[Argyle Trees]

@Argyle-Trees

After changing the display scale from 150% back to 100%, then the document map was showing normally.
But scale =150% was very common on 4K screen.

[SeagramFR]

@Yaron that is the point, indeed.
Not correlated to CRLF, it was just the feature I was testing in the first place

[SeagramFR]

… and it is a teeny-tiny bug, just the kind I am the only one in the world to detect, and nobody cares about (as I wrote already) ;-)

[Yaron]

@SeagramFR,

Thank you for confirming.

just the kind I am the only one in the world to detect

The universe is grateful. :)

@Not-Saying

Thank you for your debug info (via the private message).
However, I cannot reproduce the bug at all.
Could you provide the step by step instructions please?

Sure! I just figured out a way to do it again:

1. Do a Find In Files search for something you know won’t be found.
2. Do a Find In Files search for something you know will find multiple files.
3. Do a Find In Files search for something you know won’t be found.
4. Do a Find In Files search for something you know will find multiple files.
5. Observe there are no open/close icons for the results that found no files.
6. Collapse all the results.
7. Delete the result from step 3 (Delete key).
8. You now have the result I described above.

I can tell from the repro steps and gui behavior this is going to be obnoxious to solve. You’ve got two sets of objects, one that describe the gui state and the other the results. They are out of sync with each other. :(

[donho]

@Not-Saying

Thank you for providing the step by step instruction. However, I can’t still reproduce it by following your instructions:

@Yaron
Can you reproduce it in your PC?

[donho]

@Yaron @SeagramFR
Under Windows 11, it works fine.
I’ll check the code.

Not being able to edit posts here is slightly inconvenient.
I’ve preferred opening new issues on GitHub.

For some reason my plugin, NPPTextFX, disappeared. It still exists as a folder and DLL in the plugins folder but does not appear as an installation option. Has this plugin been superseded?

[Alan Kilborn]

@Ray-Parker

Possibly see HERE.

[Paul Harouff]

Sometimes I use Notepad++ to edit long plain text files (not code) and I need a way to mark where the page breaks are. How hard would it be to add the capability to highlight line numbers (e.g., put a dot next to 64, 128, 192, etc.)? Or is there a plugin that already adds this capability?

Thanks.
