Additions & Changes

This update contains only fixes for reported issues.


Fixes

  • Fixed bug in which the "Enter Full Screen" command would appear twice at the end of the View menu.

  • Worked around misbehavior of rust-analyzer when generating completions in some situations by advertising (and implementing) LSP insertReplaceSupport.

  • Fixed regression in which XML documents were inappropriately treated as HTML5, which (among other things) would cause odd folding behavior.

  • Added a mechanism for resolving conflicting Spaces behavior.

    The default behavior works around a misfeature in the OS which causes the macOS application switch to select an inappropriate Space when activating the application while the Find window is open; but creates a situation in which choosing "Find" (or Cmd-F, by default) or "Multi-File Search" (Cmd-Shift-F, by default) will activate the Space containing the Find/MFS window if it is already open. To work around that issue and have the windows move to the active Space instead, use the following Terminal command:

    defaults write com.barebones.bbedit MoveModelessWindowsToActiveSpace -bool YES

  • Fixed bug in which the recent items menu (at the bottom of the sidebar) in Notebook windows did not show the correct names of the items.

  • Fixed bug in which pattern errors were not correctly reported in codeless language modules.

  • Fixed bug in which files which were locked due to a Finder lock would lose their locked-ness if the underlying server volume was unmounted.

  • Worked around macOS file system API behavior which would cause Finder tags not to be shown for files on remote server volumes and (evidently) some direct-attached external volumes.

  • Fixed bug in which soft-wrapping width calculations were incorrect when printing with line numbers shown for documents with a small total number of lines.

  • Fixed bug in which the "Save Clipping" and "Save Selection as Clipping" commands allowed "/" in the clipping or set name, which resulted in an error when trying to create the set/clipping.

  • Fixed bug in which switching from a color scheme which was missing some color settings (resulting in the use of the "Plain text" color from the scheme) to a color scheme which had those settings, and back to the first scheme, would result in the second scheme's settings persisting inappropriately.
