PSPad unicode 4.5.5 (2395) English

Inline comments were included in COBOL 2002 standard and are (by standard) only usable in free format, not in fixed (what current PSPad syntax schema is for).
Some vendors have extensions for inline comments in free format, too. I'm currently aware of *> (as it is in 2002 strandard for free format) and the pipe |.
If inline comments are allowed, both should be recognized but the column where they are should NOT matter.
To continue the comment highlight colour after pos. 72 in fixed format would be wrong as these columns don't belong to the normal COBOL coding areas. The current behaviour is quite useful, as some COBOL vendors have special commands there that HAVE to be a COBOL comment. One would not recognize these any more if the current highlighting colour would be changed.

can we please have "trim trailing spaces" a 3-state checkbox? a) don't trim trailing spaces; b) trim trailing spaces as you type; c) trim trailing spaces when saving file.
thank you!

also, when using the quick search feature (ctrl-e) it sometimes stops working and I open the standard search dialog (ctrl-f) and find the "whole words only" checked. so, basically, the quick search feature sometimes triggers the "whole words only" property automatically. maybe I'm accidentally pressing a key combination?

In the program settings / Program 1 uncheck:
[]use system icons in code explorer

I am also having the same problem noted in posts #7 and #8. That if another app modifies the file I don't always get prompted that the file has changed. Sometimes it does, but not usually. This worked everytime in previous versions.
The specific case I have right now is I open an XML file in pspad, then a C# appication reads the file and writes back a modified file. I have to close and reopen the file in pspad for the changes to show up, most of the time.

Same for me too!
I open 2 files with the integrated FTP: it's contents are written in a temp map...ok
Next I modify 1 of the sources with an external app (DiffMerge, to compare 2 files) and do a save.
In 4.5.4 there was always the message "file changed!" but since the 4.5.5 beta this is no longer te case

Ciao Jan,

English:
you could add in "Print Preview" option "Selection Only", so "print -> print range -> selection?
thanks.

Italian:
si potrebbe aggiungere in "Print Preview" l'opzione "Solo Selezione", allo stesso modo di come fa in "Stampa -> Intervallo di Stampa -> Selezione"?
grazie.
