      Thank you very much for the quick big-fix release.

      There is still the encoding issue that I posted about in 5.4.4 ?
      https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=7494211

      I'm just curious whether it is me who has gone insane, or it is a bug / new feature. Can someone tell me if this is the place to post, or should I use the issue tracker?

        Just tried with iso-8859-1 with French text, it works for me.
        Which ANSI encoding do you use?

          I am entering text directly in Notepad++ in UTF-8 (without BOM) and toggling the encoding ANSI / UTF-8. I guess ANSI means ISO 8859-1 in Notepad++ so that's the character set I'm using.

          Here is a screen cast showing the problem with v5.4.4 and 5.4.5:

          The behavior is different from the one in v5.4.3:

          Thank you for looking into this.

      > 6. Add SQL folding capacity.

      OK, great to see some development on SQL folding.

      Would you mind adding the CASE keyword to the "folders" as well?

      I tried some SQL example code, but got some very strange folding from (two SELECT statements preceded by) an opening parenthesis up to the first two END statements, both ending CASE blocks.

        That's SQL lexer issue, which is in the scope of Scintilla, but not Notepad++.

      Thanks for the update Don.  Still a minor issue with this version where if you open a filename with a '&' character in it's name it does not show up properly in the tab caption.  Instead it puts a underlined letter in the caption title.

        My totally non-Pascal-expert eyes fail to see the problem here. Syntax colouring looks ok to me, although it's clearly not to your liking.
        Could you elaborate on the problem, pls?

        thanks,

        joce.

          BTW, the problem fixed by removing stylers.xml file!

            Really, this looks to me like the styles were just not how you liked them.
            You could have edited them yourself in menu | Styler configurator... | Pascal. No?

              No, I'm only using the default settings etc.

                Jocelyn Legault - 2009-07-16

                AFAIK, there's no guarantee where made the default style would stay the same.

      Your project Notepad++ is great thanks for freeware and keep it in constant updates.

      I have to agree that something is still not right with the Pascal highlighting. When I change the colors for items in the Pascal style configurator, the wrong items change color in the display. I deleted my %appdata%\stylers.xml and let NPP rebuild it, and then all was fine. (Except that I had to redo all my styles.) Comparing the new stylers.xml with my old one, I see that the styleID values for Pascal have changed. Apparently the 5.4.5 installer is not updating these values in stylers.xml.

      Aaron.

      not a serious bug, but still have not been fixed in this release.

      it is "Recent file list " with a bad encoding.  "Clear" & "Reopen All".

      env:
      Win Xp Zh-cn ,Notepad++ unicode version

        Just tested under Traditional Chinese xp, with v5.4.5 Unicode. Works for me.
        Does anyone have the same issue?

      About the recent file list:
      I recently was in a position where all my recent files had the same name, but resided in different folders. The list becomes hardly useful in these conditions, as you have no indication of the folder. I see two ways out of this:
      1/ Write the full path of the file. This will be easier if the recent file list moves to a submenu. ConTEXT does it just right imho.
      2/ Show the full path on a tooltip bound to the menu item being hovered . Could work fine too.

      Hi! I'm again...

      I have to agree with the comments about the highlights.

      Sometimes when opening a CSS file it loses the highlights.

      Notepad++ version: 5.4.5
      Windows XP - SP3 - English/US

      Thanks again!

        Don: could that be related to the bug I tackled with hotspots where not enough bits where used to represent all the possible styles?
