Hi all --
I ran into a problem with Notepad++:
I just bought a new computer: an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ with 2GB of RAM running
Windows XP.[1] I also installed the "ClearType Tuner" PowerToy.[2]
If ClearType was off, Notepad++ worked fine. If ClearType was on, Notepad++
was slow -- as in, you'd type a letter, wait a split second, and then the letter
would appear. In fact, typing *anything* into Notepad++ would peg one of the
CPUs. You could mash the keyboard and then watch as the application caught up.
None of the other applications I tried (Thunderbird, Opera, Word, RogSoft's
Notepad+) had this problem with text entry.
Every version of Notepad++ I tried (5.1.4 ANSI, 5.1.4 Unicode, 4.9.2) had this
problem. It didn't seem to matter what font I was using, either.
That said, I've tried this on other computers and haven't seen the issue, and
I have an easy-enough workaround (turn off ClearType), but I figured I should
report the bug.

It has to do with support to "foreign" characters, such as Arabic, Hebrew,
Chinese.
If your language uses the English alphabet (or something close to it: German,
French, Italian, Spanish...) then it's more or less the same. Otherwise, the
Unicode version should provide better support. So if you don't know which one
to choose, go for the Unicode one: in the future, it will be the only one to
be supported. The only reason to opt for the old ANSI version is if you want
to use some plugins that were written for the ANSI version and that haven't
been converted yet, but most plugins have already been updated, so it shouldn't
be a problem.
If you want a one-word answer, here it is: Unicode.

As far as point 4 is concerned, there should be a plugin that does it. It's
called "Light Explorer", I think. I've never used it, so I'm not 100% sure this
is the right name... But if you have a look at the various plugins, you should
easily find it.

I noticed this in 5.1.4 unicode, didn't check earlier versions.
In the Preferences dlgbox, New Document/Folder tab, there is a dropdown list
through which the default language for a new document can be chosen. Click on
the list, choose something else than default (or not) and click elsewhere. The
list disappears completely, instead of simply closing. It had the full screen
height.
Clicking at the now empty place the list was drops it down again, so no
functionality
is lost. Clicking elsewhere again not only closes it, but hides it as before.
Clicking on another ta, then back, restores the list visibility. So does closing
the dialog and opening it again.
This occurs using 800x600 resolution. Changing to 1024x768 causes the list to
"really" drop, ie to use only the lower half of the display, and clicking
elsewhere
closes it as one would expect. Going back to 800x600 restores the problem.

Is there a way to activate a word count feature in Notepad++ or does a plug-in
exist that performs that function? Thanks!

Hi Jan,
The menu Edit column edit gives me a prompt for insert text only. What happen
if I want to delete?
I was more hoping for where I can "edit" the selected columns. "Edit" meaning
like I can type into it, or backspace etc... all at once in a column that's
selected.
I searched through the help file, and it's not supported. I wish this feature
will be added in the future.
tbs.

I bought an U3 USB key a few years ago. They may have fixed, cured, improved
since, but I guess the fundamental flaws remain.
The first one is that most of the few apps that were available then, did NOT
work AT ALL as advertised. For instance (sorry I write from my memory, but the
main issues should be accurate) it said you could plug the key into your
friend's
PC, check your email, reply, update contacts, and so on, then shut down the
key and unplug it, your friend's PC would remain totally unchanged. In facts
the program assumed to do this did not even TRY to do that, not even the tiniest
bit: it would just copy your email system from your PC onto the key, then from
the key to another PC; which you can do with any regular USB key.
I later discovered that MOST applications in the U3 system were like this, i.e.
just false advertising. In addition even the unplug function did not work as
advertised: always failed on XP Pro (did work on W2K)
So I concur with previous posters: stay away from U3, which is beaten by PA,
which in turn are more and more rendered irrelevant in some cases by natively
portable applications.

Okay, I think I get it to work as I expected now, but the steps are not very
intuitive.
For example, let say I have text
//tbr
//tbr
//tbr
//tbr
//tbr
and I want to change it to //thebugslayer in column mode method, i have have
to do following:
1. press Alt+Shift, right click top left "b", then bottom last "r"
2. press Delete
3. press Alt+Shift, right click top left "t", then bottom last "t" (forms a
invisible rect)
4. press Alt+c, in the prompt dialog type in "hebugslayer" in the text box,
click okay button.
I think step 3 is redundant and and can be remove. and step 4 is little clumsy.
If we can "edit" immediately after step 1, it's much smoother.
Does anyone find this useful? Can we add in as a feature request for this?
thanks,
tbs

UNICODE support is only needed if you want to use "really funky" characters
in filenames - like chinese or cyrillic.
The scintilla edit control supports those characters for you file *contents*
even for ANSI builds of Notepad++.

Interesting idea - as long as isUnicode() is guaranteed to be called before
getFuncsArray(), that would work (and it ought to be, unless NP++ only checks
for the *presence* of this export).
