Cool. Thanks Alex. Works for me. Couple of glitches… ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/2/2a651f90c2e407d9b12477204e225893ec3554de.png) In previous releases I would select **Text as Highlighted** - but the new release mistakenly highlights Groovy Lists. `[Everything here, even spread across multiple lines, is highlighted]`. When they’re “strings” they’re blue on blue - looks terrible. Couple of compiler glitches: ```auto /* package com.whatever import stuff public class something { } */ ``` this will complain that the package is `""` which doesn’t agree with the name of the package folder where the groovy file is located. Silly error - the whole script is commented out. Lastly, `WebUiBuiltInKeywords` now needs to be fully specified: ```auto import WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI // ***ERROR*** import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI ``` ---

Couple more… 1. **Window Preferences** dialog does not remember the previously visited settings. All previous versions of Katalon did. That was handy when making changes repeatedly. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/d/d59f8a48fe7d5b7763d13c378e2b61de49dadc3f.png) Window Preferences does not remember last visit 1. Related… the **Apply Now** button has no effect (at least in **Java-\>Editor-\>Syntax Coloring** ). The **Apply and Close** button works but only on newly opened files. Files already opened in Katalon are not updated to the new color settings. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/5/54e2fe380fc04ce33f4ddfbde1a0fc42e7176b50.png) Newly opened file on the right shows the changes ---

Sorry @devalex88, a couple more. This time, color/theme issues: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/4/4759c3007502958e6e0c863cc3c1841fad4ae902.png) That’s JavaDoc and the Heap status. JavaDoc is the worst, obviously. I couldn’t seem to find anything to reset it. And before you ask: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/9/94ded9d67e98c49f95a565bacb13877ccfd68a2d.png) ---

Is there a way to somehow add better eclipse support or at least from the Java Version. I know it supports things pretty well out the box, and you can basically add any library you like, but the editor is a bit slow, imports compiler are a bit weird. ---

Crash is not encountered frequently, but it is also happen when select multiple lines code to edit in 7.2.3. ---

Please support “word wrapping” in text editors. > [@How to wrap text in Editor?](http://forum.katalon.com/t/how-to-wrap-text-in-editor/40781/3): > > Katalon Studio 7.x is built upon Eclipse. I do not know the exact version of Eclipse, but old version of Eclipse does not have word wrapping feature at all. Therefore KS can not as well. As the following post tells, newer version Eclipse supported word wrapping feature: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2846002/does-eclipse-have-line-wrap/6769504](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2846002/does-eclipse-have-line-wrap/6769504) Eclipse Neon (4.6), release date June 2016, includes word wrap for text editors.
