Download EditPad Lite 7.0.4

JGsoft released version 7.0.3 of its free text editor EditPad Lite and 7.0.4 the very next day, due to an annoying problem. This program is not intended for programmers, who should use EditPad Pro or Notepad++, but is more a replacement for the Notepad supplied with Windows. Unlike Notepad, EditPad Lite can have an unlimited number of files open in the same screen, it has no limit on the size of files to open, and the number of undos and redos is unlimited. EditPad Lite 7 is still free, but businesses can now purchase a license too, if there is no need for all extras that the Pro version offers. Since version 7.0.2, the following changes and improvements have been made:

EditPad Lite 7.0.4

bug fix:

• Options|Stay On Top causes EditPad to stay on top of some of its own dialog boxes.

EditPad Lite 7.0.3

improvement:

• Editor: Full double-buffering of all edit controls to eliminate flicker.

Bug fixes:

• Editor: Changing the font size with Ctrl+wheel, switching to another file, and then switching back displayed the file with the original font but spaced as if it was still using the changed font size.
• Editor: Lines containing tabs were not displayed correctly when using a right-to-left text layout.
• Editor: The text cursor was positioned incorrectly on lines containing both tabs and ideographs when using the “monospaced left-to-right” text layout.
• Editor: Typing or pasting into an empty file and then Shift+Clicking somewhere selected the text from the start of the file until the click instead of from the end of the file (where the text cursor is) until the click.
• Search: Incremental search was not reset when you moved the cursor, causing incorrect incremental search results, or errors if you closed the file and then changed the search term (Lite only).
• Tabs: Right-clicking on the tabs now shows the context menu when the mouse button is released rather than when it is pressed.
• Windows 7: If the icon next to the system clock was enabled, maximizing EditPad, minimizing or closing it, and clicking on the icon next to the system clock restored EditPad but did not maximize it.
• Windows 7: If the icon next to the system clock was enabled, restoring EditPad (so it’s not maximized), closing EditPad with the X button, then right-clicking the icon next to the clock and selecting Exit caused EditPad to pop up briefly before closing, instead of closing without showing itself.
