What is the component that is the basis for the integrated browser? IE or other? Or can it be selected (e.g., Mozilla's Gecko)?

Internet Explorer! Currently the browser engine cannot be selected, but maybe this comes with a future enhancement.

What do you mean? Nested comments like
/*
line 1
/* line 2 */
line 3
line 4
*/
still highlighted incorrectly. All those years...

You have to enable nested comments first, add NestBlockComments to the first line of all the syntax highlighting on (ie. the /L1"C/C++" .... line)

There was however a bug with the nested comments, but they fixed it after I reported it and I haven't seen any glitches after that.

I don't suppose NestBlockComments is available in pre-13 versions, right? Pitty...

I might have missed reading this, but can the UE v13 trial be installed at the same time as my current UE v12? i.e. in a different directory. At some point I'd like to try v13, but I'd like to play with it on the side.

Thanks.

You can test it without having fear to overwrite your existing installation and settings when you install UltraEdit into a different program directory and rename the UltraEdit directory in %appdata%\IDMComp before first start of new UltraEdit.

You should only first export with Regedit the whole registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{43B6667D-7520-4186-B05B-F5C0494C495D}

to a *.reg file before you start the installation of the new version to be able to restore the uninstall values for your current version after uninstalling the new version with a double click on this registry file.

You can do this by running the command:

regedit /e C:\UltraEditUninstall.reg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{43B6667D-7520-4186-B05B-F5C0494C495D}"

I personally use a different method. I have ALL configuration files (ini, uek, etc.) moved from default user application data directory to the program directory of UEStudio/UltraEdit. Before I install a new version I create a copy of the program directory with all my personal configuration files in the same parent directory, but with a slightly different name. Then I can switch whenever I want between latest or any older version. Bego has written a nice VBS script for that, see evaluate newer version for details. Multiple instances of UE in different directories can be problematic later as discussed at Multiple instances won't disable.
