1. The "hide lines" option (Alt+H, View > Hide lines, or from right-click menu) is not retained when switching to another document or closing the application. Code folding wasn't retained in 4.9, but that appears to have been fixed in 4.9.2.
2. In the Style Configurator, the default extension now overrides the user extension. For example, I use .php as a user extension for the HTML (mainly so HTML <tag> auto-closing works in PHP files). Until v4.9, NP++ set .php files as the HTML language, but it now sets them to PHP.
I'm not sure if everyone would agree this is a bug, but I'd expect the user extension preference to override any default extensions?
3. In the TextFX settings menu, the tick next to a chosen option isn't shown after a restart (although the option is still set correctly).
4. It would be great if the window transparency settings were retained after NP++ was closed.
5. In the Explorer extension, the last opened file remains underlined even when that file is closed (that could be an Explorer bug, but I didn't notice it in previous versions of NP++).
Finally, a feature request: SciTE allows you to switch between proportional and monospace fonts using ALT+F11. It's really handy, since I prefer proportional most of the time, but it's handy to switch to monospace in certain instances.
Notepad++ is still the best code editor available. Keep up the fantastic work and ignore all the morons who can't accept your right to free speech on your own website!

Starting in Win2000, crashes on launch unless we apply the old fix of
rename of the \plugins directory. I have not yet trawled to find which
plugin (or combination) is the offending one(s).

The hide lines behaviour is fixed by Harry. It'll come with v5.0.
The user extension should override the default one. I'll take a look in code for that.
TextFX is done by Chris, it seems that the plugin is not maintained anymore by him.
I'll consider to remember the transparency, but I promise you nothing.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
One more minor problem - the Replace function finds the same variable repeatedly if you click Replace.
Example:
Paste in the following text..
abc
def
xyz
abc
def
xyz
abc
def
xyz
Use Ctrl-H to replace, type abc in the Find what and abc2 in Replace with.
Click Replace 3 times, and now the file looks like this:
abc222
def
xyz
abc
def
xyz
abc
def
xyz
It should look like this:
abc2
def
xyz
abc2
def
xyz
abc2
def
xyz
Replace All works properly - it doesn't find the same token repeatedly.

Peter

Let's try that again, since all the whitespace auto-formatted itself away...
Another bug - WinXP SP2
Summary: When indenting multiple lines of text where the first selected line is tabbed or spaced in, no lines starting at Col 1 are indented.
Sample text
######################################
aaa
<tab>bbb
ccc
<tab>ddd
<tab><tab>eee
<tab>fff
<tab><tab>ggg
######################################
Highlight lines 1-3, indent - all 3 lines indent.
Highlight lines 2-4, indent - "bbb" and "ddd" will indent, but "ccc" will not. BUG.
Highlight lines 5-7, indent - all 3 lines indent.

It'll be nice that you can help us to identify the plugin causes the crash.

Hi Don,
Removed all DLLs, from \plugins, and added back one at a time.
Offending one that causes launch-gpf, is HexEditor.dll
- all others seem able to co-exist and launch OK in Win2000.
hth.
The hide lines behaviour is fixed by Harry. It'll come with v5.0.

This is corrected in the upcoming v5.0, so hold on tight :)
