I noticed an issue with the "style token" feature. The problem is that styling is not applied consistently within words.

Case 1

1. Close and open Notepad++.
2. Type "training" on line 1 and "train" on line 2.
3. With nothing selected, right-click on "train" on line 2 > Style token > Using 1st Style.

Under these conditions, only "train" on line 2 is styled.

Case 2

1. Close and open Notepad++.
2. Type my test: "training" on line 1 and "train" on line 2.
3. Open the Find dialog.
4. Clear 'Match whole word only'.
5. With nothing selected, right-click on "train" on line 2 > Style token > Using 1st Style.

Under these conditions, "train" on lines 1 and 2 are styled: The token will be styled within words.

Style Token will continue to match within words after opening the Find dialog once.

Expected Behavior

I am accustomed to case 2 where style applies to matches within words. This is how Notepad++ operates most of the time.

It doesn't make sense that a Find dialog option would affect Style Token. I suggest decoupling Style Token from the Find dialog. If people want to control this behavior then I suggest adding a formal preference: Style Token Matching.
