Textpad 5.2, print preview loses tab groups (bug)

Post by gklyne »

Using Textpad 5.2.0

I find the new tab group facility is a useful way of handling a workspace with many files - it makes it easies to work across multiple files - but...

With several files displayed in two (vertical) tab groups, if I select print preview on one of the files, the tab groups are merged back into a single group.

I also notice there seems to be no way to move multiple documents between tab groups in a single operation.

I'm getting this same print preview loses tab groups problem in 8.16.0 64-bit.

Any chance of a fix?

This is not a problem in TextPad 9.

Note that if you upgrade to v9, any tab groups in workspaces created in v8 or earlier will have to be recreated when first opened. Any workspace saved in v9 cannot be opened in v8.
