Correct, I'm talking about selected (or maybe 'marked' is the common term?) text. When I type Control-C to copy to buffer, I expected the selected/marked/highlighted attribute to go away.
I *thought* PsPad did this, but maybe I'm mistaken?? I've deleted my old PsPad and completely re-installed from scratch, to see if some other issues go away, so can't go back and verify at this point. I have been using my old editor Multiedit recently, which *does* act as I describe, so maybe I'm just not remembering PsPad behavior correctly. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,69990,69994> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
