Additions & Changes

This update contains only fixes for reported issues.


Fixes

  • Fixed bug in which using the Grep cheat sheet in the Multi-File Search window would enter the selected text into the wrong edit field.

  • Suppress keyboard equivalent display in contextual menu items which correspond to available menu commands.

  • Fixed bug in which PHP quoted heredoc and nowdoc strings were not colored correctly.

  • Made a change so that changing the setting of "Show matches" in the Find window no longer causes items to move within the window's frame.

  • Fixed crash which would occur in some situations when editing documents that were being compared (which includes applying differences).

  • Fixed bug in which the Swift parser would go one character too far when scanning docstrings, which created a problem when the character after the end of the docstring was something important, like the closing parenthesis of an @available(...) structure.

  • When using Pretty Print or hierarchical HTML formatting, fixed bug in which indentation and additional lines were added to text inside of pre, script, and certain other "protected content" elements.

  • Added "Svelte" as a built-in recognized language (handled using the HTML mechanics, language server preconfigured to use svelteserver).

  • If font ligatures are explicitly disabled by the expert preference, ensure that excessively clever fonts (glares at Hasklig and Fira Code) do not display ligatures.

  • Fixed bug in which getters and setters, as well as return type declarations in getters and setters, would confuse function and fold generation in TypeScript files.

  • Updated the C-family keyword lists.

  • Fixed cosmetic bug in which the magnification indicators in the status bar didn't correctly reflect the document's current magnification, in cases where the document was being display in a Differences window as the result of a "Compare Two Front Windows" command and its magnification was set to something other than 100%.
