Windows XP Home edition SP3
PSPAD v4.5.4 (2356)

I used PSPAD about 6 times editing an XHTML file with Chinese characters in it.
But today I made some changes to my file and wierd things are now happening.

My <h1>, <h2>, etc. tags are not recognized, in that when I try to match them
with their end tags, there is not a match and the background of the tag turns
grey instead of shocking cyan. The browser sees them fine.

I have a terrible time trying to type in tags.
But the problems I have are difficult to describe as they are all over the
place.  Some things that happen are:
- typing a character puts it one char off.
- some chars won't delete; the neighboring char is deleted instead.
- when I try to delete extra chars which appear in my tags (e.g. the final 'd'
in <tdd> the 'td' part turns red.

ANther example is if I have "<t>Friday" and I try to insert 'd' after the 't',
it is put after the '>', and if I put the cursor to the left of the 'd' and try
to delete it, the 'F' is deleted.

Also, sometimes the cursor sits about half-way into a char, instead of between
chars.

These problems only seem to happen with tags and their neighboring chars.
My <p>, <div> etc. tags work just fine.  I've checked for typing errors and
found and corrected a couple, but I don't think that that is the problem.  

For example, even in <h3>hello</h3> the <h3> tag isn't matched. 

I turned off what seems to be the word-wrap option, but it makes no difference.

I read the FAQ post from manfred62 about setting multihilighting to XHTML, but
can't find anything about that in the settings menu or anywhere else. And when I
try to set XHTML in the highter-settings menu, it always reverts back to HTML
when I look at the settings again, even after un-checking HTML.  I see nothing
about multihighter-base, only 'HTML multihilighter' and that's greyed out, altho
checked.  When I un-check it, it disappears, and re-checking it doesn't get it
back. Do I have to un-check everything except XHTML?

That post is interesting, because it is only today that I started inserting '<br
/>' into my file.

Does anyone have any ideas?
