I never expect a selection to show syntax highlighting, as the selection itself is already using its own colors. Textpad could only safely achieve this by not using specific highlighting colours, but instead always showing the negative colors (of both text and background), so highlighting colors wou...

What do I have to do to even reconstruct your situation? How can I get any tool output at all? Maybe the source is the problem, not the output. Maybe the font being used is not capable to show the correct characters.

setup In case you mean settings... C:\Users\ineuw\AppData\Roaming\Helios\TextPad\8 ConfigState.xml This contains all settings, i.e. Document Classes, editor preferences... and your MRU entries. I successfully copied C:\Users\?\AppData\Roaming\Helios\TextPad\6\ConfigState.xml to C:\Users\?\AppData\R...

I can't see any difference in the tab heads - I even enlarged both pictures, and still don't see any difference ... They're not supposed to show a difference. Both are wrong. Read the text after both pictures: previous branches (like versions 6, 5 and 4) were not using anti-aliased (i.e. blurred) d...

My bad: you really can't search on selection. After all those years I always thought it was there as option, yet I never needed it. (But it wouldn't be senseless either.) I can't even start to think about treating text as columns: the search goes thru text in a stream. Seeking column-wise (we still ...

You could use block mode (Configure > Block Select Mode), then select your "column" and search on selection only. (Edit: no, you can't)

After all, text files never have columns - thus don't expect a text editor to know your definition of where a column ends and the next begins.

My system: Win7x64 without any theme/style. Textpad 7.6.2 looks like this: http://abload.de/img/20161030tp762aliasw8kxf.png Textpad 8.0.2 looks like this: http://abload.de/img/20161030tp802alias75jla.png With previous versions (4, 5, 6.1.3) I didn't have such blurred tab captions. As you can see: ev...

When searching thru multiple files and a file matches that has no linebreaks (i.e. 8+ MiB) then Textpad needs very long to add this one line to the search results (5+ minutes @ i5-4570 Pentium: you can look at how the line grows and this process gets slower and slower the longer the line gets). And ...
