Hi, I use PSPad for most of my AHK programming for years on W7 32bit. I am using AHK Unicode 32bit v1.1+
I am trying to set up programming testing on a new W8.1 64bit. So I download PSPad 4.5.8 and (also tried 4.5.7) as well as AHK Unicode 32bit, to the W8.1 64bit Laptop. I also copied some ahk scripts to the 8.1 PC. The problem is that all the ALT+255 characters in the running ahk script get displayed in the GUI as  Description - A with ^ over it and a space following it, as soon as I save the ahk file in PSPad. I have the format set to UTF-8 for both the ahk file and PSPad. I can run the ahk file with autohotkey Unicode v1.1+, as is, from the new copy OK. It is just when I save the file with PSPad that I get the problem. The strange character(s) does not show up in the ahk text file itself, just in the ahk GUI being run. If I use the keypad (this 8.1 64 has one) and do ALT + 255 in PSPad, I get 7 If I open Notepad and do ALT + 255 I get a blank character OK. I can make changes to the ahk file using Notepad and save it, and it runs OK. I am using the latest ahk version 1.1.16.05 Unicode 32bit Hopefully there is just some setting in PSPad I could use? Maybe W8.1 makes trouble with ALT+255 characters? Thanks -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,63676,63676> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
