Additions/Changes

This update contains only fixes for reported issues.

Fixes

• Fixed bug in which clicking on links with a target="_blank" attribute would misbehave in live preview windows.

• Fixed bug in which the Search menu would display incorrect information or crash the application when pulled down after certain search sources had been selected in the Multi-File Search window.

• Added code to report a specific error code when encountering an unexpected condition during a Grep search which would otherwise generate a crash log.

• Made a change to improve performance when restoring application state for windows containing an extremely large (hundreds) number of documents.

• When saving application state (when quitting or automatically for crash recovery), BBEdit will record the names of untitled documents, and display those names during subsequent state restoration.

• Fixed 10003 error which would be reported when using process lines containing, process duplicates, or sort lines via the AppleScript interface, with the source data being a string provided by the script itself (rather than a reference to something open in BBEdit), and requesting output to a new window.

• Fixed bug in which selecting a window containing multiple documents (under the "Open Editing Windows") heading as a search source would cause the Multi-File Search window to subsequently (and incorrectly) mark all Open Editing Windows for searching.

• Made changes to improve visibility of the text selection range when it overlaps with highlighted differences in a Differences window.

• Fixed a bug in which an escaped backslash immediately before a closing quote in a PHP string would confuse function scanning and fold generation when the PHP was itself contained within a processing instruction inside of an HTML document.

• Corrected a bug in which the Unix Shell Script language module would miscolor single-quoted strings ended by character escapes which occurred inside of variable expansions which in turn occurred inside of single-quoted strings.

• Fixed bug in which font names and sizes specified in .editorconfig files (specifically, "x-font-name:" and "x-font-size:") did not properly override the Editor Defaults font/size settings.

• "Normalize Options" will now take EditorConfig settings into account, insofar as the global defaults may be overridden by a nearby .editorconfig file.

• Fixed bug in which the JavaScript function scanner would generate folds for strings which didn't cross a line boundary, resulting in those strings being hidden when using "Collapse All Folds."
