Find/replace dialogs are offscreen

I used Textpad with a second monitor attached, and I moved the search dialog to the other screen to be able to see what I was doing more easily. Later when I tried to open the search dialog again it didn't appear, and it turns out that it was being displayed offscreen (on the now-disconnected second...

The erratic cursor movement seems to be font-dependent. It works correctly with Courier New, for example, but not with other monospaced fonts, e.g. Consolas. It also works correctly with some proportionally spaced fonts, e.g. Arial. Arial and Courier New both have "complex scripts" support...

UTF-8 problems with RTL languages

I'm trying to prepare property files for internationalising a Java application, and I've noticed some issues with Textpad's UTF-8 support for right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew). The issues I'm seeing are: 1) A sequence of words is displayed left-to-right rather than right-to-left, even though ...

let me have a guess - you are not using a bom, and the copyright char is the only non-ascii character in the file. It might help to put a comment like /*äöüß*/ into the file (close to the beginning). There are some other characters, but essentially yes. I don't want to fill my files wit...

Java files set to UTF-8 but opening as ANSI (cp1252)

In Configure > Preferences > Document classes > Java, I have specified UTF-8 as the default character encoding. However, when I open a Java source file which includes non-ASCII characters such as the copyright sign © (\u00A9), Textpad shows this as the two-character sequence © (which is 0...

Apologies for posting everything twice. It keeps giving me an error message when I press submit: Couldn't get mail server response codes DEBUG MODE Line : 185 File : smtp.php which I thought might be due to square brackets in my test program and output, so I tried again with parentheses... it posted...

Ah. I just tried it with CMD (not a shell I normally use). I see what you see now. But this works: "C:\Program Files\Textpad 8\textpad.exe" x.txt So it's a CMD bug. Who'd've thought? Is isn't a CMD bug? I normally use 4NT or TCMD, and they do the same thing. I wrote a little C program to ...

In C onfigure | P references | General set Allow multiple f iles on the command line and close TextPad. Thanks! I can't reproduce your other problem. It doesn't look like a TextPad issue.

Problems with multiple filenames on command line

Using Textpad 8.2, Win10, 64-bit. I can't get multiple filenames to work on the command line. I type: textpad x.txt y.txt I get: OK to create 'C:\Users\john\x.txt y.txt' If I say "yes" a file called "x.txt y.txt" is created. According to the help file, this is the behaviour I wou...
