Syntax highlighting (specifically keywords) seems to be broken in version 8.15 and 9.0.

I'm finding this as well (only tested in 8.15). Reverting to 8.14.2 works as expected.

Thanks. Did you have to uninstall the new version to reinstall the old one, or is there a command line switch to override the version check?

Yes, trying to reinstall the old version over the top wasn't possible - it came up with a dialog box saying it couldn't continue the install. I uninstalled via Windows Settings >> Apps. After reinstalling TextPad all my previous settings were still intact.

Thanks! That's what I was worried about (my settings).

This is indeed fixed in 9.0.1 and 8.15.1.

Thank you Helios for the quick response.
