I used to get this maybe once a month but I figured it was something wrong with my setup since it stopped when I rebooted.

Done. It will fold more if the elsif/else is on the very next line, and still folds all branches of an if statement if the cursor is on the "end if" line. > - Another code folding feature that would be nice is [ + ] and [ - >] buttons to the left of each foldable block. Instead of that I've just detected mouse clicks on the fold margin and added a new flag to edita.ini, "Permanent Fold Margin", default False, so that there is always somewhere to click on. ( You'll have to run 0.2.5 and quit before amending edita.ini. ) I don't think there is a problem with the fact that I have used > rather than + to indicate folds which can be expanded (I chose that because it is more visually distinct to * which I use for bookmarks). I also don't think '-' is a good idea since Edita can fold any set of lines (just block select them before pressing Ctrl -); I once estimated that win32lib with 34,000 lines could theoretically be folded over 600 million different ways http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/edita.htm#download Regards, Pete
