Thanks, but since the previous version, PsPad is not able to open my sessions (I have a different one for different projects I work on); they simply don't open or they bring up the wrong files.

Session or project? Can you send me some file PSPad can't open?

Hi, build 843 does not automaticly switch to the correct tab on compile-error, build 833 did work correct.

I use PSPad to compile my project by calling an external compiler (batch). Normally (build 833), when an error is found, PSPad would log the error in the Log window and switch to the tab (file) with the error (red line on error-line).
Build 843 only shows the error in the Log window but does not automaticly switch to the tab (file) with the error.
For now I'm going back to build 833.

StatusBar - DoubleBuffered.
This 'error' is in this build but also in all previous builds:
When I have PSPad open for a long time (say a few hours), the texts in the statusbar are getting a bit blurry (almost like a bold font). This is in the classic Windows IDE style.
You can fix this in Delphi by setting the TStatusBar property DoubleBuffered to TRUE.

Thanks.

Ok, this version fixed giant font on left panel (in Windows 11).

But there is still random error "access violation", such in previous versions of last two years at least. I think it happens sometimes when I close an open txt file that is in a network drive, but only sometimes randomly it gives the error.
Maybe some problem with little delay not properly managed (network drives aren't fast as local harddrive), or something with their path/folder/name...

Here are the info from the error window:

Access violation at address 0034845C in module 'PSPad.exe' (offset E845C). Read of address 000000FF.
