Additions & Changes
This update consists solely of fixes for reported issues, and does not contain any new features. (It doesn't take any away, either.) Please see the BBEdit 14.6 release notes for a full summary of what's new in this version cycle.
Fixes
Enabled ligatures by default for Monoid and Monoisome.
Fixed the likely source of a submitted crash log.
Made a change to work around Radar 100658961, which would sporadically cause inconsistent enabling of buttons in the Find window (and probably other things too).
The application will honor the value of
NSMenuShouldUpdateSettingsTitlewhen running on macOS 13.0 and later, if you're into that sort of thing.Restored control of font smoothing based on the old expert preferences (as well as the
AppleFontSmoothingsystem preference for which there is no GUI in macOS 12.0 and later).Corrected display of zero-width and certain non-breaking space characters.
Fixed regression in which changes to a project's site settings weren't actually saved into the project.
Start Xcode project discovery on a background thread, so that if Spotlight is completely broken such that
mdsis hung and blocking API calls, the application won't hang at startup.Fixed bug in which clicking on a color swatch in the Preferences window and then bringing an editing window to the front would fail to disconnect the Preferences swatch from the color panel, such that changes in the color panel would affect both the editing window (intentional) and the setting in the Preferences window (undesired).
When doing character-based soft wrapping to the window width, omit the em-width margin at the end, to allow for more accurate wrapping points.
Fixed bug in which soft-wrapped text in proportional fonts was not rewrapped correctly while editing.
Fixed crash which would occur after dragging a rectangular selection, either when attempting to undo the operation, or when closing the document subsequently.
Made a change to correct missing display of certain gremlins when using certain fonts.
