ariccio, it sounds to me like you are a skilled developer. However, I must say that I (as someone who is not a C++ developer) do wonder why you choose to contribute only changes that relate to the technical correctness of the code. On this project's growing Issues list are quite a number of small usability bugs and usability enhancement requests. I bet that some of them could be quickly implemented with just a couple of lines of code and make a big difference to the experience of using the application. All I'm saying is I wonder if it wouldn't be a better use of your expertise to knock some of those out. |

@Eldaw the technical incorrectness of the code could easily be the cause for some of the bugs. |
|
@MAPJe71 Yes, I agree with you. Do you think it would make sense to specifically target some of the reported bugs, usability enhancements, and functional enhancements, and at the same time make sure that the introduced code is technically correct? Rather than only making general changes which might also end up making some of the reported issues stale/obsolete as a side effect, but might not. |
|
First of all, any introduced code should be technically correct! |
|
@Eldaw I couldn't agree more. For the technical incorrectness in the code, I will do the fixes myself. |

|
Hmm, missed that one and yes it is. |

update to Scinitlla Release 5.3.6 (https://www.scintilla.org/scintilla536.zip) Released 26 July 2023. Redraw calltip after showing as didn't update when size of new text exactly same as previous. Feature notepad-plus-plus#1486. On Win32 fix reverse arrow cursor when scaled. Bug notepad-plus-plus#2382. On Win32 hide cursor when typing if that system preference has been chosen. Bug notepad-plus-plus#2333. On Win32 and Qt, stop aligning IME candidate window to target. It is now always aligned to start of composition string. This undoes part of feature notepad-plus-plus#1300. Feature notepad-plus-plus#1488, Bug notepad-plus-plus#2391, Feature notepad-plus-plus#1300. On Qt, for IMEs, update micro focus when selection changes. This may move the location of IME popups to align with the caret. On Qt, implement replacement for IMEs which may help with actions like reconversion. This is similar to delete-surrounding on GTK. and Lexilla Release 5.2.6 (https://www.scintilla.org/lexilla526.zip) Released 26 July 2023. Include empty word list names in value returned by DescribeWordListSets and SCI_DESCRIBEKEYWORDSETS. Issue notepad-plus-plus#175, Pull request notepad-plus-plus#176. Bash: style here-doc end delimiters as SCE_SH_HERE_DELIM instead of SCE_SH_HERE_Q. Issue notepad-plus-plus#177. Bash: allow '$' as last character in string. Issue notepad-plus-plus#180, Pull request notepad-plus-plus#181. Bash: fix state after expansion. Highlight all numeric and file test operators. Don't highlight dash in long option as operator. Issue notepad-plus-plus#182, Pull request notepad-plus-plus#183. Bash: strict checking of special parameters ($*, $@, $$, ...) with property lexer.bash.special.parameter to specify valid parameters. Issue notepad-plus-plus#184, Pull request notepad-plus-plus#186. Bash: recognize keyword before redirection operators (< and >). Issue notepad-plus-plus#188, Pull request notepad-plus-plus#189. Errorlist: recognize Bash diagnostic messages. HTML: allow ASP block to terminate inside line comment. Issue notepad-plus-plus#185. HTML: fix folding with JSP/ASP.NET <%-- comment. Issue notepad-plus-plus#191. HTML: fix incremental styling of multi-line ASP.NET directive. Issue notepad-plus-plus#191. Matlab: improve arguments blocks. Add support for multiple arguments blocks. Prevent "arguments" from being keyword in function declaration line. Fix semicolon handling. Pull request notepad-plus-plus#179. Visual Prolog: add support for embedded syntax with SCE_VISUALPROLOG_EMBEDDED and SCE_VISUALPROLOG_PLACEHOLDER. Styling of string literals changed with no differentiation between literals with quotes and those that are prefixed with "@". Quote characters are in a separate style (SCE_VISUALPROLOG_STRING_QUOTE) to contents (SCE_VISUALPROLOG_STRING). SCE_VISUALPROLOG_CHARACTER, SCE_VISUALPROLOG_CHARACTER_TOO_MANY, SCE_VISUALPROLOG_CHARACTER_ESCAPE_ERROR, SCE_VISUALPROLOG_STRING_EOL_OPEN, and SCE_VISUALPROLOG_STRING_VERBATIM_SPECIAL were removed (replaced with SCE_VISUALPROLOG_UNUSED[1-5]). Pull request notepad-plus-plus#178.
