First let me say that Notepad++ is a fantastic text editor. Congratulations to the authors for producing such a great program for free!
Now for the bug: When I open .tex files for editing the highlighting works perfectly, but when I open another file in different language, say .cpp, most (but not all) of the TeX highlighting disappears. Even after I close the cpp file the TeX highlighting stays off until I close and re-open Notepad++. This problem only seems to affect TeX commands with a built-in slash, e.g. \documentclass, \section, etc. I think this happens because the \ character is an operator in C++, and this confuses the program. This is a real problem for me since I tend to have TeX and Matlab files open at the same time (same thing happens). Is there a way for me to fix this? If not, users like myself would really apprecitate a software fix in a future release.
Thanks again for a terrific program.
