Unexpected file auto-reformatting when 'Automatically decode entities' is checked

[xomx]

I was bitten by the following, when updating my translation file.
IDK if it is a feature or bug and can be prevented somehow(?).

STR (using fresh x64 N++ portable v8.7.4):

• HTMLTag installed via PluginAdmin (v1.5.1)
• in N++ open .\localization\english.xml
• go to item id 6910 there ( Ctrl+F for <Item id="6910" name="Minimum Size for Auto-Checking &quot;In selection":"/> )
• move cursor at the EOL:
  
• press Enter:

I can't tell from the image but I'm supposing the EOL mode is CRLF, right?

The SCN_CHARADDED hook has puzzled me for a long time; TAB does not appear to trigger it, yet it fires twice for DOS EOLs: once for \r, and again for \n 🤔

Never mind; the real issue was a too-greedy backtracking loop: 6e3800c

Tested - ok.
Thanks for the quick fix and this useful plugin!

Eee, no, I spoke too soon. In the

is no new HTMLTag.dll binary file, only ini!
So I actually tested that english.xml file without any HTMLTag plugin behind...

Edit: Only arm64 zip contains the binary.

@xomx

Only arm64 zip contains the binary.

Yep. The x86 Intel builds were targeting XP. It seems at some time in the past two weeks the XP v141 toolset was pulled by Microsoft (with no announcement 🤔?) and then Circle CI upgraded their image to pull in the newest VS Studio release.

No plans on reverting to Free Pascal for the sake of XP, though. Plugin versions 1.4.4 and older will even run on NT 4.0, yes, but Pascal's memory model is broke-ass and the code looks like a dog's breakfast.

No harm done since my earlier "fix" actually had a major regression in it.

Newest builds are here: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/rdipardo/nppHTMLTag/19/workflows/42899453-91c3-4c69-8496-c2287fb12936/jobs/20/artifacts

@rdipardo
Works ok, thanks again.

Issues without a patched version on the Plugin List can stay open in case other users come here to report the same thing.

Fixed in HTML Tag 1.5.2, available via Plugins Admin, if you are using Notepad++ 8.7.6 or newer.
