SlickEdit® / Re: Go to line number box now comes up with the selection unselected.

SlickEdit® / Go to line number box now comes up with the selection unselected.
« Last post by mpenacho on Today at 07:41:07 PM »Strong suspicion this may be a Linux problem, but asking for any help I can get.
I'm using Slickedit Pro 2022 (I have newer versions, but haven't upgraded this machine in a while) on Linux, specifically Linux Mint 21.2 running Cinnamon desktop.
I'm running the Brief keyboard encoding.
I use Alt-G a lot to bring up the 'Go To Line' box. My muscle memory has me typing in the line number I want to go to, immediately after bringing up the box.
Up until a few days ago, the box used to pop up with the box holding the current line number, already filled in, but also completely selected (i.e. 42, but as a selection waiting to go (white text on a black background - all text selected).
This let me start typing right away my new destination line (i.e., I type 96 - the 9 typed causes the 42 to go away completely (because it was selected) and after typing 96, the box contains 96).
Now, the box comes up with the current line number (i.e. 42), but unselected. Thus, when I start typing (again, muscle memory), my typed text is appended to the existing text (I type 96 - box now is 4296, not what I wanted).
This happened to me a few years ago, and rebooting the machine cleared it up. This is no longer the case. I've rebooted a few times and it is still behaving this way, driving me crazy.
Not sure if this is a Linux, a Cinnamon, or a Slickedit setting. Looking for any help I can get. Dreading I may have to reinstall Slickedit, or worse, reinstall Linux, neither of which I am looking forward to doing.
Thanks

I'm guessing your on windows
c:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\SlickEditHelp\29.0.1.0 <- 29.0.2 uses 29.0.1 help because there were no changes
How do I open that...?

SlickEdit® / Re: find window off screen
« Last post by Peter on May 19, 2025, 09:20:51 PM »Not sure where my reply on Friday ended up, but in the original question I said deleting the "vrestore" files had no effect.
Deleting the history files and rebooting had no effect.
Deleting all the slickedit project and workspace files and recreating them had no effect.
I found that I could manually edit the newly created history files and copying the values in the <monitor_configs> section from a working workspace into the broken one allowed the dialog to appear onscreen although I don't know what the meaning of the individual entries in those sections are.
I also don't understand how they get recreated with invalid values.

The help gui does not show any contents or topics, and searching says "Your search did not match any documents".
