Description
Description of the Issue
I am trying to print a txt document through Notepad++ and am able to get the Indent Guide to appear on the screen but have not been successful in getting it to appear when printing.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Enable Indent Guide
- File > Print
- Indent Guide not visible on printed version
- Check Settings > Preferences for an option to make guide lines visible when printing, none found
- Tried toggling Indent Guide on/off and print again, still not visible
Expected Behavior
I had expected that when Indent Guide is enabled that the Indent Guide would appear when printing as well, or at the least have an option under settings to enable/disable printing with the guide visible.
Actual Behavior
No matter what options I have tried I was unable to make the Indent Guide visible when printing.
