Oh I see, so it's for people who can't be bothered to use the Styler Configurator dialog :-)
I'm not a fan of Comic Sans and Comments in green, for instance, but you provided the dialog because we all have different tastes, so I can't understand why people don't use it for heavens sake!
I either use Verdana or a mono-spaced Dina font depending on the file type and/or text block.

Thanks for the new build Don, works fine so far ...!

Ha (!) -- I'd reckon, am I the only one who likes "Comic Sans MS" to format comments?
IMO that font is perfect for comments, doen't shoot me on that.

@ Don:
any short-cut in the pipe-line for "hide lines" (I know to make my own, but as like as NP++ standard)?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If I check "Enable global bold font style" with the Bold option itself unchecked, the font seems to move down one pixel.
This does not happen with the Bold option checked.
With the Italic option checked, checking the "Enable global italic font style" also moves the font down one pixel and seems to increase the line space by one pixel.
If I check "Enable global font size" the line space/height seems to decrease by two pixels.
Instead of the Global override Style, I would rather have an option for each additional style to use the Default Style value.
That way I can choose for which styles or attributes I do want to use the current global overrides.
If I do not want to use a global override (of want to override the global style) for (only) a single style setting, it is not possible with the current implementation.
For the White space symbol style, for instance, the font style features can't be checked.
It could be very welcome, though, to be able to uncheck the Underline feature, if this is set for the Default Style.
There is a "global override" now for font style options, but I can't switch them off for the White space symbol.
If I want all text to be underlined, I can check the Global override, but this means the White space symbol also gets underlined.

Hi Don
I have a minor problem with the Syntax Folding in VBScript.
When a Sub or Function has more than 1 comment line immediately following, the program doesnt recognise it as a place to fold.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Any idea when virtual spaces will become available? I've addressed this a while ago (see http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4332182\) and I really hoped it would have been one of the major improvements with a new release.
Will 4.3 support this? It's really an "almost indispensable lacking feature" in the otherwise sublime NPP!

Replacing beginning-of-line and end-of-line using regular expression syntax ^ and $ does not work. For example, I want to wrap all lines of text in quotes, so I use ^ (in the "Find what" field) in first replacement, and $ in second replacement. Both times, I get an error message saying that the regular expression is not valid.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Try replacing the end-of-line by using the CTRL+R Replace Dialog. Enter CTRL+M in the search field, enter ", CTRL+M and another " in the replace field and replace all. You only have to add the first " to the beginning of the first line and the end of the last.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
- when opening the syntax coloring dialog and click on "More colours", the actual color isn't shown and is set to (0,0,0).
- some list controls shows their elements in a non alphabetical order (i.e the print header/footer font chooser), it's very difficult to make one's choice.
- the console part doesn't wrap long lines, and we don't have any horizontal slider to view the output in such cases. Also, I didn't find a way to change its background color.

I have problem changing the font for STRING style of C/C++ language. No matter which fonts I selected (Courier New for example), the string literals in my C/C++ source always displayed in some kind of proportional font (look like Arial).
I have this problem since a few versions ago (including the latest v4.3 RC).
Anyone else seeing the same problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mick

Hi Don,
My previous message never made it to the mailing list and I am not sure if any developers saw it as there was no response so just posting it again in a different way. Sorry if it is a repost.
I would actually like to request two small features if that is not too hard.
1) Add view/hide line numbers to the view menu since I think that is where most people would expect to see it.
2) Save the last used filter (*.c *.h etc.) and restore it for next search atleast for that session. I know it is saved in the dropdown. But is it kind of pain to select everytime you want to repeat it for the same set with a different term.
Thanks for the nice 4.3 release. It is work great so far.

All seems OK here. Thanks Don.
Hide Lines feature - wonderful!
Not sure why I'd use Global override feature.
Great work, well done!

Glad to hear that :)

Well, if you do hate "Comic Sans MS" font like the most of people in the forum,
then you'll love this feature.

try styling only one language with black background and white text, and see what happens ;-)

Hi,
Visual problem in Preferences dialog : http://kib2.free.fr/temp/problem_npp.png
Some suggestions :
- when opening the syntax coloring dialog and click on "More colours", the actual color isn't shown and is set to (0,0,0).
- some list controls shows their elements in a non alphabetical order (i.e the print header/footer font chooser), it's very difficult to make one's choice.

Why don't remember the setting of the search box(Ctrl + F)?
It make me to set the transparency on lose focus every time I restart Notepad++.

Hi Don,
Is there a fix for the above mentioned problem?
Regards,
1. There is a visual problem with the "Style Configurator", some of the new dialog items don't disappear when there is more to display on the configuration dialog:
http://www.nc-soccer.com/npp_hidedialog.gif
2. Any chance you could make this small change to parameters.h?
const char fontSizeStrs[][3] = {"", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "14", "16", "18", "20", "22", "24", "26", "28"};
ProFont (archaic, ancient, etc., etc.) uses 7 as the smallest legible/readable size on my system.
http://www.nc-soccer.com/npp_hidedialog.gif
I can not reproduce this display bug.
How did you have this mess (Step by step)?
Don
Strange,
I haven't got the same dialog...
http://kib2.free.fr/temp/npp_hidedialog.png
Then that is very strange, because it is 100% reproducible for me by taking the 4.3 release zip above, replacing the stylers.xml with this file:
http://www.nc-soccer.com/stylers.xml.7z
starting npp, going to the stylers configurator, and clicking on Objective-C... replace with the stylers.XML that was shipped in the zip and the globals disappear correctly. Hmm... maybe there is something in one of my personal config files that is contributing to the problem if that isn't reproducible.
Don,
Could you please fix this C/C++ STRING style problem as well?

Do you have a screenshot to show what it is wrong?
