When I first installed textpad, then got the lua syntax file. It failed to stop highlightning at --]] after --[[. For some reason it doesn't do that anymore.
Another issue is when using external tools. $File or $FileName,etc would not return the correct filename/path. Work around was to click on a document tab first. This now doesn't happen anymore. I think its related to the way tabs are setup mainly.
Tabs don't stay in the correct order if you switch to stacking tabs and click on a few. Usually when you have stacking tabs in other programs. If you click on a tab row it brings the whole row to the top. In textpad it just brings that one tab to the top and this is what breaks your tab order.
Sometimes tabs have the arrow buttons to move left and right. If you switch to dark theme you get the arrows, but soon as you exit textpad and start it up. its back to a drop down menu instead.
For the most part the product works great and I used textpad for a long time back in the late 90s. But its just weird how some of these bugs happen then they fix them selves somehow.
