I've got something that's been annoying me with Japbe. When I'm running it on my Windows 2000 system the modified file flag seems to get set way too easily. Let's see how to explain this.... like if save a file (with ctrl-s) and then click on the tab for the same file, I get the "*" on the tab indicating that the file was modified. And then if I click the little save icon, the "*" doesn't go away. Only time I can make it go away is if I use ctrl-s rather than the save icon.

This doesn't happen on my Windows XP system. Since 95% of the time I'm coding on my Windows 2000 system, I'm getting frustrated with this little bug. Anyone else have this happening?

I'm running Japbe 2.4.9.25 and PB v 3.92

*Edit* Also, if I have file open, pull up the preferences and click a tab on the preferences (Like Style/Editor), I will also get the file modified thingie "*" on the tab of the current .pb file.

I don't have Win2000, so i can't test und debug it. Maybe a problem with the Scintilla.dll? Try a newer one (if exist):

www.scintilla.org (download SciTE).

Do you mean SciLexer.dll? The version I was using was 1.6.0.0. I downloaded wscite162.zip from the site you mentioned and copied over that version of SciLexer.dll (v. 1.6.2.0) but I'm still getting the same problem.

I really really like Japbe and I can deal with it but it is grating my nerves to have it ask me to save every time I click on a tab.

The funny thing is: YOu are the only Win2000-User that has the problem. At the moment nobody else has this problem (or haven't told me).

I was wondering if it was just me. Maybe a setting that should be checked or unchecked? I just thought it was strange since I copied the same Japbe directory structure from my Win2k computer to the WinXP computer and it works fine on WinXP. Anyone else having this problem under Win2k or should I start looking for other causes?

You have tried a full reinstall of japbe right?
[Remove it, install again]

I just now tried that. Still the same behaviour.

So am I the only one experiencing this on a Windows 2000 platform? I'm running SP6 and all the updates. Could it be a weird windows setting and not Japbe? Or just some Japbe setting I shouldn't have touched?

Windows 2000 only goes up to SP4. SP6 was for Windows NT. So maybe
you installed the wrong service pack on your machine (if that's possible) ?

I spoke without checking. It is SP4 >_< I was thinking Visual Studio SP6

Hi Xombie.

I can't create the problem on win2k (mind you, I am using 3.91 on my win2k unit so there is at least that difference)

If you think it could be to do with your settings, maybe send the pref file to GPI?

If he's up for it, I will. I browsed through it but couldn't see anything obvious. I guess it is something hinky with my system. Maybe not even Japbe related.

I tried the normal PB editor since it has a similar thing with the * and file modified flag but it didn't go off erratically just by clicking the tabs. I'm sure that's got nothing to do with Japbe's behaviour but I thought I'd check it anyway. I wonder what it could be? Surely the difference in PB versions can't have anything to do with it?

One thing I noticed (which probably won't help) is that when I click on the tab, the whole Japbe window flashes briefly before the "*" shows up.
