Hi,

In Textpad 5 it doesn't seem to be possible to close documents by right clicking on the document tab and selecting close. It was possible to do this in previous versions of Textpad. Has this been removed?

Also, the preferences screen takes a long time to load. It used to come up almost straight away in 4.7.3

It's possible with the right click-close if you download and install Textpad 5.0.2, but not possible with 5.0.
There is some posts already in this forums regarding the slowness of preferences. Then you should find a way to fix it. Also some members said that the slowness disappeared which is guess is because some settings was updated.

I was about to post about the tabs. Did they used to have a close icon on the tabs? When I saw the new designs I would have sworn that the old tabs had an [x] to close them but now I'm not so sure.

In any case, I'd really like an option to add a close icon to the tabs (a bit like on IE tabs) if this would be possible.

Where is 5.0.2. I can only see 5.0 on the web site

It is on the download page (there is only 5.0.2, no 5.0).

Maybe you only see the old page from the browser cache, if so, try Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5 to refresh.

Great thanks - works now.

There was no icon on the old version - just 'Close'. There is a file open icon now for some reason???

Instead of (or in addition to) having a cross icon for closing tabs, middle-clicking should do it, as it is the case for Firefox, IE7, IntelliJ and numerous other tab-enabled software.
This UI feature is sometimes not widely known, but it's a must-have
