Thankyou for the swift reply.

It is possible that the colour issue is related to the desktop theme; but then,
that would imply, I guess, that one colour is being used by PSPad to indicate a
selected format once the dialog window is created, and a second colour used once
the user interacts with the window by clicking/scrolling - which seems unlikely
to me. When the new file dialogue appears, I see all items with black text on a
white background, with the selected item in black text on a very faint yellow or
gray background. Clicking on an item, or simply even scrolling, gives the
selected item white text on a dark blue background. If noone else has
experienced a similar problem, perhaps it is related specifically somehow to my
OS and other configurations.

In answer to your question, I am using Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba machine.

I never even thought of this. PSPad is, of course, behaving predictably. It was
just really weird for me creating a new line and indenting, then seeing the
indent suddenly dissapear upon saving.

I guess the Alt+tab behaviour is an OS problem. I'll blame Microsoft and Toshiba
for now.

Thanks for the heads-up on the ContinueComment setting. However, if I understand
correctly (judging by the name), the purpose of ContinueComment is ONLY to
continue comments. If I type /* and then hit enter, for example, one expects an
asterisk on the new line, and indeed that works fine. If I simply type *
(without a slash) then this isn't a valid comment (in languages such as Java,
for example), but PSPad will insert a new asterisk regardless. Even when working
in a TXT file, similar behaviour is evident, despite the fact that a TXT file
doen't exactly have comments, as such. Of course, it is also possible, that I
have misintrepreted the purpose of ContinueComment; and even if it were an
oversight, at least it is not one of an overly critical nature.

My regards,
esura
