Question: have you tried with a Notepad3Portable BETA --> "Out-of-the-Box" ? 🤔

Feel free to test the BETA version "Notepad3Portable_5.20.127.2715_BETA.paf.exe.7z" or higher.
See "Notepad3 BETA-channel access #1129" or here Notepad3Portable_5.20.127.2715_BETA.paf.exe.7z.

Note: "Notepad3Portable BETA" can be used in "2 flavors" (with or without the extension ".7z").

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome... 😃

@hpwamr Sorry but do not understand what mean "Out-of-the-Box"; maybe without portable ? (just the exe?) (the English is not my language) (if that: yes)

with last beta the problem persist.

PS: are there any documentation with changelog for the betas ? be nice know what change.

[RaiKoHoff]

Current beta(s) have this problem ... (maybe Scintilla 4.3.0 update) ...

Out-of-the-Box (Fuera de la caja): es una expresión usada para decir aquí, la versión "Beta" instalada en "versión portátil" sin ninguna otra configuración que en este caso "Auto completar palabras" 📦

PS: are there any documentation with changelog for the betas ? be nice know what change.

See the file Changes.txt :

@hpwamr Ok. si, tambien lo probe.

@RaiKoHoff Right, the problem is only in the beta(s). With last release, the auto-complete, work fine.

@hpwamr : could you please test a beta-version before Scintilla 4.3.0 update with AutoCompletion on Win7?

Hello @RaiKoHoff, It will not be easy because I no longer have Win7 at home? 😟
I will try to find an old PC/Laptop with Win7, not sure?

[RaiKoHoff]

@hpwamr : Maybe a Virtual Machine (VM) ?

I will have access to a Windows 7 machine tomorrow, will test then.

@RaiKoHoff

With v5.20.117.2710 -> Scintillia 4.2.3 the autocomplete work.

With v5.20.117.2711 -> Scintillia 4.3.0 the autocomplete NOT work.

I concur with @Mitezuss.

Testing with Windows 7 Pro x86...

Build 2710 works:

Builds 2711-2715 do this:

Build 2716 does this:

[zufuliu]

ac.lb->SetColour(vs.styles[STYLE_DEFAULT].fore, vs.styles[STYLE_DEFAULT].back); is missing from void ScintillaBase::AutoCompleteStart(Sci::Position lenEntered, const char *list).
