Hmm sorry @Jokerman i am still not hundred percent sure what you mean here. (My english is not the best)
Maybe you can screenrecord a gif or a movie which shows the error? 😇

Here's a screen recording trying to show what I mean by the intellimark functionality not taking into account folded code (in this case it's a Region but the same thing happens with all folded code). As you can see in the video when I highlight something while at the top of the tab with the Region folded intellimark only highlights/marks down to line 55 but if I scroll down then intellimark higlights/marks down to line 67 - but if the Region isn't folded then intellimark highlights all the visible lines normally. Also, while not shown in the video, if I hit F8 to turn off the bottom debug window then more lines of code get highlighted without scrolling down (line 68) - this is part of what makes me assume the intellimark functionality is working based on the lines visible in ISN Studio's viewport.

Basically, it seems to me (and please correct me if I'm wrong) like the intellimark functionality is using an algorithm to try to determine what's in ISN Studio's viewport so it only highlights matches and marks lines as they become visible (rather than processing the entire tab all at once). If my assumption is correct then it seems like the algorithm isn't accounting for any lines of code that are currently folded and have a + next to them you can click to expand them (like comments, Regions, For/If/Switch/Select statements, etc.).

Sorry I can't do a better job of describing the issue. If there's anyone reading this who thinks they understand what I'm saying and can describe it better (or speaks fluent German) please don't hesitate to chime in! This is just one of many reasons I'm a coder and not a teacher. 😂

Thanks...the video shows the bug perfect. (Sometimes a picture/video can say more than thousand words :P)

I can confirm this bug in my installation..i will check that.

[mLipok]

This is not ISN problem but I think this is related to Scintilla
Possibly already reported here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/


Take a look also here:

btw.
I would like to ask about 2 things:
Questoin 1: How did you enable this >>>  in lines 51-67  ?
Questoin 2: And why there is no such >>> in line 84 ?

Question 1: You can get those markers by enabling the "In addition, add a marker to the line" in ISN AutoIt Studio's Settings (after you select "Script Editor" in Navigation it's under "Write settings").

Question 2: The markers not highlighting everything visible is the issue that I ran into (that, until I made the video, I was failing horribly to explain 🤣). ISI360 has confirmed the issue so now it'll come down to how they implemented intellimark. You're right - if the code relies heavily on Scintilla's implementation it may not be easily fixable, if at all. But if ISI360's intellimark functionality is custom code (and it may be considering the massive intellimark performance optimization they introduced in 1.13) I have faith ISI360 will figure it out. 🤞

Btw, huge respect and thanks to you, mLipok. Your posts and guidance have helped me immensely over the years. 🙏

Honestly, I don't know if that's an option in Scintilla but it's an option in ISN AutoIt Studio. It's an add-on to highlighting all matches when you highlight something - in addition to highlighting all matches you also get those markers next to each line that has a match in it. It makes scanning through your script for matches much easier visually since you only have to scan the margin for markers instead of scanning each line of code for the highlighted text. Basically, scan the margin for a marker then scan the line for the highlighted text.

[mLipok]

ISN uses scintilla to display codes, and syntax highlighting.
It is the same dll file like in @Jos SciTE4AutoIt3, of coruse not necesary exactly the same version.

take a look at:
......\ISN_AutoIt_Studio_v1_13_SOURCE.zip\ISN AutoIt Studio\Data\SciLexer.dll

Touché! You're probably right. I'm not very good at showing appreciation to posts I find helpful. It isn't that I'm not appreciative but that I'm forgetful. I'm usually in a rush and often time stressed about not being able to figure something out so I hit the forum in the hope someone else has already run into the same thing - and more often than not someone has. Once I find the solution I jump back into fixing my issue and finishing the project with the intention to go back to give thanks and like posts...but inevitably I end up forgetting. My apologies to you and everyone else who has helped me!

I'll take your word for it. I haven't looked into the inner-workings of ISN. 😁

[mLipok]

@Jokerman 
Could you please confirm that this problem is very rare and at the same time difficult to reproduce even on the same file.
I mean that even if you think how to play it, it turns out that you are never able to recreate it in the same way?

Because I have exactly this problem with preparing 100% sure method to reproduce the problem.

I mean, it happens incidentally.

This is ISN custom code. If "In addition, add a marker to the line" is enabled, the ISN draws the arrow marker via SCI_MARKERADD on a line.

And that error is connected to the bug Jokerman found. The ISN currently draws it´s intellimarks and markers only in the visible area. (Via SCI_GETFIRSTVISIBLELINE and SCI_LINESONSCREEN) But for some reason the SCI_LINESONSCREEN value does not change when areas are folded...so the ISN draws less lines what the user accually see in the editor...and here we have our problem.
I am working on it

[mLipok]

But I was able to fire the same problem in SciTE.

So yes

But which part of this issue is strictly related to scintlla ?

Don´t know how SciTE internaly handles these stuff. Maybe it also uses SCI_LINESONSCREEN...which should (in my understanding) get the lines what the user sees in the window...but when some lines are folded the returned value is wrong.

[mLipok]

Which version of scintilla ISN uses?

Was you able easily replicate the same issue in ISN ?

[ISI360]

Version 1.13 uses the SciLexer 4.1.2.0 (a older version for xp compatibility). In the next update i will replace it with the latest from the autoitscript.com website (4.4.6.0).
But even with 4.4.6.0 the behaviour is the same. I already testing a fix for the ISN at the moment. @Jokerman interested in a testversion?

Thanks for replying to mLipok's questions! I've had my face in code almost nonstop since my last reply.

Sure, I'd be happy to test for you! Feel free to DM to give instructions or whatever.

Has there been a fix for the console using black characters even if the background color is dark? There's no setting in the script editor colors I can see.
