SciTE4AutoHotkey Settings menu entry becomes inactive when trying to create own Style

[A Keymaker]

So I copied some style .properties files to

C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\Documents\AutoHotkey\SciTE\Styles

folder, including Monokai.style.properties. When still being in this folder I copied this file, renamed its copy, opened that copy it Notepad and changed only one thing: selection.back= value from #730505 to #ffffff. And after opening SciTE4AutoHotkey the menu entry

Tools > SciTE4AutoHotkey Settings...

was still there but nothing was happening when I was clicking it. I ended up having to uninstall this editor and installing it once more


So you will probably say: do not mess with files from a folder level - and just use the

Tools > SciTE4AutoHotkey Settings... > Edit Style

option. So I did and it worked- I could change the color of background of selection in Monokai style. But with time I will change more and more colors in it. And that is why I wanted to copy Monokai and start changing it in the first place, by coping its file and renaming it and then tweaking the copy


So this time I tried

Tools > SciTE4AutoHotkey Settings... > Style > New Style

where I created a new one. And as it was just a test, I did not change anything in it - it had default colors. And as a further test, I closed and re-opened the editor - and once again my

Tools > SciTE4AutoHotkey Settings...

was blocked; and once again I had to perform uninstalling and re-installing


So what is the problem here? Am I doing something tragically wrong - or is this some bug?



I am using SciTE4AHK 3.1.0 with AutoHotkey 1.1.34.02 on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746 x64

Well, anyone?

I tried using the portable version, but I have run into the same bugs

But after once more uninstalling it and then installing - and then installing also the latest version of AutoHotkey [1.1.36.02] these issues seem to be absent. I just hope they will remain as such when I restore my system from an image and install all of this from scratch

open user properties --> add selection.back= #ffffff
or copy to
user\Styles\xxxx.style.properties

After restoring my system from an image, installing AutoHotkey 1.1.37.00 and 2.0.3 I was able to perform two times successful going to

Tools > SciTE4AutoHotkey Settings...

and applying changes. But attempting to do this third time once again revealed to me inaccessibility of getting to see that pop-up window

Ergo: the bug persists
