DiB 1: I can reproduce this.
TextPad 8.23.0
Windows 11 [Version 10.0.26200.7019]

Attempting to close TextPad results in a warning: Some of your documents have been modified.

I can reproduce this in TextPad 8.23.0.

The Unicode value of the character è is E8 .
The UTF-8 encoding of this value is the byte sequence C3 AB .
Interpreted as ISO 8859-1 (sometimes called ANSI) this is the character sequence è .
Thus: è = U+00E8 → 0xC3 0xAB = è

As AmigoJack writes, using $0 in a search expression makes no sense.
It matches the end of a line ( $ ) followed by a " 0 ". But that sequence exists nowhere, as the end of a line is followed by a newline character sequence (1 or 2 characters).

Keep in mind that regexes and replacements are ...

If block select mode is on, TextPad treats a selection as a sequence of lines, even if it's within a single line, and appends a "\n" to each line in the selection. I believe this behaviour was introduced fairly recently. It's not always what you want, as TextPad will not find a match unless regular ...

History lists were added in versions 9.1.0 and 8.16.0 (in February 2023).

I haven't studied version 9 to the depth you have, but I agree that the colours aren't ideal. Neither the light nor the dark theme supports my eyes. I have many overlapping document windows open, and I need to be able to see at a glance which is the active document. I find this difficult with ...

Do you mean the option Configure | Preferences | General | Reload last workspace at startup ?

Agreed. It doesn't work (18.8.0) here either.

The replacement expression isn't a regular expression and the sequence " \n " isn't (specifically) a regular expression

However, TextPad requires that you specify Regular e xpression when using escape sequences such as " \n ", in either the search expression or the replacement expression. But the ...

AmigoJack inadvertently sent you to the wrong setting, so you set the colours for the Search Results window, not for any document window.
Set them instead for the appropriate document class or classes.

BTW, I'm using TextPad version 8.16.1.

I changed the scope of my macro to Selection. Then if there is no selection when I run it, it doesn't do anything at all (and no action that can be undone is recorded). And if there is a selection when I run it, it does something that is only vaguely like what ...

I was going to post something similar.

Here is a macro to open a line at the current cursor position.
If the cursor is placed before the second "stuff" in the text
stuff_before_cursor stuff_after_cursor
then running the macro should change the text to
stuff_before_cursor
stuff_after_cursor
