    Sometimes when you put in a open curly brace, it will throw a close curly somewhere deep into your code at random. I don't see any way to disable this. If I can't resolve this I'm going to move to another editor.

    Latest V and the one prior. I always get nervous when I have to insert a curly brace structure in a large program. It does create the closing curly for you, right?

    No. Just checked the Settings window and I can't even find a place where I could enable such thing :confused:

    This has never happened to me before... Are you sure you're just not bad at keeping track of your braces?

    Maybe I'll uninstall and reinstall it. I'll give it another chance. It seems sometimes the curly gets thrown to the next available linebreak or somewhere downstream when you insert a curly in existing statements.

    I love Notepad ++, i think that it is the best text editor there is out there. Nice and easy to use, i have never had that problem with it. :)

    So far the problem didn't come back after reinstall. It was pretty annoying! I love notepad++. The second best IMHO is expression web 4, its very good for visualizing html layouts.

    I encountered that as part of the autocomplete nonsense in np++ as well, which is one of the strikes against it that made me look for another editor.

    Like Flo's notepad 2, which lets me turn off the illegible acid trip of color syntax highlighting, has no autocomplete asshattery, and even lets me turn off tabs so I can run multiple windows on different displays instead of having everything crammed into the one.

    http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html

    For my needs, it's probably the best out there right now... though it does take a wee bit of customization to strip out all the BS "aids" and "tools" that just get in my way... and to turn on the actually useful stuff. (like wrap indicators, long line guide, etc, etc).

    Dreamweaver is by far the most advanced web development software. If you want to work in a company the first thing they will be asking you is: "Can you use the Adobe Collection?".
