Code blocks take up more space than before, due to addition of language dropdown (EN 10.91.1)


Recommended Posts

Evernote again added a new feature that fills up my notes with non-information, leaving less space for what I want to see: my notes.
This time the culprit is the feature 'Introducing code block with syntax highlighting for a smoother experience.' in EN version 10.91.1.
(I say 'again' because recently EN also increased the line spacing, see post on this forum: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/151508-did-line-spacing-just-change-en-10843-windows/)

Each of my code blocks now takes up more space than before, because a dropdown menu is added to each code block to select the coding language. I am forced to do more scrolling than before and I have less overview.
Can this feature be put behind a setting, so I can disable it?
I know my notes, I know what language the code blocks are in. I don't need syntax highlighting in my notes.
EN does not have to tell me. Certainly not when it takes away space for my real notes.

Hi.  We're mainly other users here. For a more timely notification please raise this with Support https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new (be very patient for a response) or feed it back to feedback@evernote.com.   In both cases you'll get a 'thanks' response but they won't keep you in the loop - when and if the feature changes it will come as part of a future update.

I don't understand your reply, @gazumped. You say 'We'r mainly other users here'.
I found other issues about the code block in the same category, i.e. in Home > Forums > Possible Bugs/Technical Issues > Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 10.0 and above) .

They were not given the answer that is was wrongly posted.

What would be the proper path to post my issue on the forum? (Yes, I will also create a ticket, but as you say, there will be a slow response and I am just curious to know whether my case makes sense to others as well).

Anyway, I submitted it as a request:

Seems like both feedback and Support requests both wind up in the same numbering system and visible at that link when you're logged in.  I can't see your specific report,  but anyone can see their own recent posts here - https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests

I think the general consensus is positive on the new code blocks. There are a few folk with very specific issues posting but generally the feedback I've got from my own community is along the lines of "finally we have syntax highlighting."

I use code blocks myself a lot, for code and find the new blocks an excellent addition.
