The problems in version 7.1.1.1341

[oracle developer]

PL/SQL Developer 7.0.3.1123 vs 7.1.1.1341

I have found 7.1.1.1341 to change somethings and make some problems.

1, I can't choice font:Fixedsys

2, commentline plugin works wrong.

http://www.allroundautomations.com/plsqldevplugins.html
Comment lines
Use this plug-in to (un)comment lines with line comments (--). If you install this Plug-In, you will get additional menu items to comment and uncomment a selection. You can assign shortcut keys to the menus for quick access.

in 6.x and 7.0.3.1123 , I can select some lines (don't need select at the line's beginning and to the line's ending),and run commentline function, then all lines which are relative with the scop of selection will be add '--' at the begining of lines.

but now,it works like that

and in 7.0.3.x ,it works like that

3, VSS Plugin display chinese as strange chars.
in 7.0.3.x ,it display like that correctly:

but in 7.1.1.x,it display strange chars:

4, Any identifiers are displayed as keyword.
in 7.0.3.x, it display like that:

but in 7.1.1.x ,it like that:

1, I can't choice font:Fixedsys

You can only use Fixedsys if you disable the "Unicode enabled" preference (Tools > Preferences > Oracle / Options).

2, commentline plugin works wrong.

Can you try this patch version ?

3, VSS Plugin display chinese as strange chars.

The VCS Pulg-In has not changed, so something else must have happened on your system.

4, Any identifiers are displayed as keyword.

Perhaps you have defined some custom keywords? What happens if you type a random word like jshsskjhns?

For 1, uncheck "unicode",and restart PL/SQL DEV,then I can choice fixdys font.

For 2, I have try this patch,but,the commentline plugin still can't work correctly.

And I found, if I select text from down to up,then it works correctly,and if I select text from up to down,then it only comment or uncomment the last line.

others, I will test again tomorrow.

For 3, After I change options to no unicode, the VSS Plugins's add files/checkout files/... window now can display chinese text correctly.
Perhaps, the plugin doesn't support unicode,and it use default font:fixdys,and unicode mode prevent to use such font.

For 4, because I use overwrite install,only overwrite the main program filelsqldev.exe,and I think 7.1.1x change to use default.kwf as keyword file,but in 7.0.3x it still use other.

After I copy default.kwf to install folder,PL/SQL Developer now works normal.

And I compare with other pc's installation folder,and I found my folder include these files:

command.kwf
custom.kwf
html.kwf
java.kwf
plsql.kwf
plsqldev.cnt
plsqldev.GID
plsqldev.HLP
sql.kwf
xml.kwf

Are they unnessesary ?

These are 7.0 files, which are not used in 7.1.
