trouble with cursor in notepad++
-
Hello,
I have struggle with my cursor and line markup in notepad++. Sometimes there are multiple line marked or the cursor jumps to an other line. Does anybody has an idea why it behaves so strange? -
I’ve never seen it do that.
Can you share your ?-menu’s Debug Info?
Also, can you paste a screenshot of your Settings > Preferences > Editing 2 settings?
And look at Settings > Style Configurator > Language:
Global Styles
, and look through the various Styles, and see if anything other than theCurrent line background colour
has that pale blue background.Also, does that list of Styles have
Multi-selected text colour
andMulti-edit carets color
? – If not, your theme (orstylers.xml
) might be out-of-date (see User Manual’s description of how to manually keep configuration files in sync after an upgrade and my Topic “Config Files Need Updating, Too”, which links to a script for the PythonScript plugin that can help you keep your themes/stylers in sync with the most recent Notepad++. -
thank you for your time.

And no, nothing else has the same pale blue color. If I change the Current line background colour I have multiple marked lines with the new color. Some of them are also blinking.

Sorry, I don’t see anything out of the ordinary. Hopefully, someone else will be able to come in and provide some guidance, because I don’t know what could cause such a glitch.
