Re: Issue copying text, text cut off

I have one file where I can not copy the whole content to a new file using Ctrl-A, C and V.
I have other files in the same session where I can copy the whole content without problems.

The content is always cut off at the end of a code block. When I add lorem-ipsum text before that block, the situation remains the same. The content is cut off at the end of the code block.

When I compare the file with an older version, the relevant line is shown as different between the two files. From the older version I can copy the whole content. The new version is "UTF-8 no BOM" encoded, the old version is "ANSI Western European (1252)".

The relevant line looks like this " }}": Two blanks and then two curly braces.
When I move the cursor across the line in the old version, the status bar shows the correct character codes: $0020 $0020 $007D $007D.
When I do the same with the new version, the code for the second blank is not shown in the status bar. The cursor moves, but no code.

In the past I often had the "chinese character" issue with similar lines. It could be related.

The code is open source, I can provide you the two files. How?

I'm using 5.5.1 (815).

Hello

Isn't there any char $0000 in your text?
You can publish files on any public storage and put links here or send files as attachment to pspad support mail.

I sent you the two files. The relevant line is 383 in the newer version.

On the line 383, second char
Delete all chars before }} and write there 2x space

Maybe there isn't 0000 char, but there is wrong UTF-8 encoding, what causes this problem

If file doesn't contains any sign from upper part of the ASCII table, content of ANSI and UTF-8 is same. UTF-8 encodes only chars from the table upper part with 2 or 3 bytes.

When I had the issue for the first time, actually a couple of month ago, I deleted the whole line and typed it in again. That did not solve the problem.

Today it solved the problem on that line, but at the same time created a "chinese character" issue some 200 lines earlier in the code.

I have been a loyal PSPad user for over 20 years, but my patience is gradually running out.

Hello. If there is "chinese" char, it means there is problem with UTF-8 encoding.
Encoding has mathematical rules to encode chars.

Open your file as ANSI, in the menu encoding change it to UTF-8 no BOM and save it.
You have no chars in your file what needs to be encoded into UTF-8, your file content should be same with ANSI and UTF-8 encoding.

That is exactly how I first derived the current branch from the old version. There are 23 commits between the old and the current version. Why doesn't the problem occur with every commit?

The latest version of the interpreter I'm using has now UTF-8 as the default encoding. I have to store all files as UTF-8, regardless of the content.
