FWIW, I use Programmer's Notepad 2 which is also based on Scintilla. The somewhat older version I've been using (I need to update, just haven't gotten around to it yet) doesn't have that problem *because* it doesn't recognize D's comments as being multi-line. But I just checked the latest version, and it's just like you describe: multi-line strings are highlighted correctly, but typing it in unfolds the code that comes after. So it probably is a Scintilla issue. Personally, I don't mind, since I don't use code folding frequently. But I can see how that could be annoying. Especially since, just like you, I find those "auto-closing" features to just get in my way and I normally turn them off. It's unfortunate, too, since Scintilla does have a lot of good things going for it. But then once in a while I'll come across some little thing I wish it did differently (for instance, I wish they were receptive to having an option for elastic tabstops, and also there's this code folding issue: http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=476 ). Heh, Scintilla's another one of the 1,000,000 things I'd love to do a D fork of if I had the time.
