@donho ,

If I go to that URL (http://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/8.x/8.5.3.RC/ ), all the filenames are 8.5.2:

And if I run the portable I downloaded from that URL, it shows Debug Info:

Notepad++ v8.5.2   (64-bit)
Build time : May  9 2023 - 05:25:41
Path : C:\usr\local\apps\npp\npp.8.5.3-RC1.portable.x64\notepad++.exe
Command Line : 
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : ON
Cloud Config : OFF
OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit)
OS Version : 22H2
OS Build : 19045.2846
Current ANSI codepage : 1252
Plugins : 
    mimeTools (2.9)
    NppConverter (4.5)
    NppExport (0.4)

However, when I run it, I correctly see the new v8.5.3-RC features, so I think it was just mis-labeled.

@PeterJones

It’s fixed now.

1. Thank you so much for 5. Add the UTF8 character ability for Run & Macro menu.

2. 8.5.3 RC cut text in Run menu

v8.5.2 correct

v8.5.3 incorrect

    <UserDefinedCommands>
        <Command name="Отваряне на autoCompletion папката..." Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">&quot;Explorer&quot; &quot;$(NPP_DIRECTORY)\autoCompletion\&quot;</Command>
        <Command name="Отваряне на папката със синтаксиси..." Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">&quot;Explorer&quot; &quot;$(NPP_DIRECTORY)\userDefineLangs\&quot;</Command>
        <Command name="Отваряне на папката с резервни копия" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">&quot;Explorer&quot; &quot;$(NPP_DIRECTORY)\backup\&quot;</Command>
    </UserDefinedCommands>

It is interesting that the proper Отваряне на autoCompletion папката... and incorrect Отваряне на папката със синтаксиси... have same length of 37 chars.

May be this issue is related to #13556

3. Can you take a look at Add hide/show ability of Control Characters (C0 & C1) and Unicode EOL , please

It is interesting that the proper Отваряне на autoCompletion папката... and incorrect Отваряне на папката със синтаксиси... have same length of 37 chars.

The limit is 64 bytes; the first is 54 bytes long, the second is 67:

> python3 -c "print(len(bytes('Отваряне на autoCompletion папката...', 'utf8')))"
54

> python3 -c "print(len(bytes('Отваряне на папката със синтаксиси...', 'utf8')))"
67
