Thanks for the Helpful Suggestions. I think I figured out why it’s doing this, but I don’t know how to fix it. The app is installed on my OS drive, which is an SSD, but it seems Notepad++ is waiting for my other drives, which are regular HDD to spin up before it launches.

Let’s talk in the new RC(2) thread.

@Alex-Povolotsky ,

If…you download it from the official download site…and not any hack sites that aren’t to be trusted to begin with.

@dinkumoil said in Notepad++ v8.4.7 Release Candidate:

It is not necessary to open an issue. Using SysInternals’ ProcMon I was able to figure out that Notepad++ reopens a file when its character encoding is changed. So, the issue I was talking about should be resolved automatically when already existing issue Reloading a file will mark all lines as changed in change history bar gets resolved.

I can reproduce it. The issue is kind of reminder (assigned to me) to put me on the track when I’ve time to work on it.

@donho
Any progress in this matter? The problem persists in version 8.4.6 and I’m still unable to use a newer version than 8.4.1…

@CennoxX

A restartup should restore the correct color.

It’s due to the absence of style “Change History margin” in your stylers.xml:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/src/stylers.model.xml#L1416

You can add it yourself into in your stylers.xml, or just remove it, a new stylers.xml will be copied from stylers.model.xml

The Change History margin’s color is difficult to manage.
It could use the Line Number margin’s color style ID 33 (Scintilla default behaviour) and users cannot customize its color at all.
Or we provide customization (it’s the current option) to disassociate it from style ID 33, but there will be such glitch while switching among the themes.

We have to choose one or another - the perfect world doesn’t exist.

@Lawrence-S said in Notepad++ v8.4.4 - Happy Users' Edition:

I don’t know how this was changed unless the default changed with an update…

No “default changed with an update”.

I know how it happened: You clicked on Wrap around and it became unticked. Next time, please analyze what you are doing before posting a complaint.

Kudos to donho for figuring out what your complaint actually was (I certainly couldn’t, from your description).

@Graham-Norris said in Notepad++ v8.4.3 - Unhappy Users' Edition:

these extra icons/buttons are basically useless clutter.

Welcome to the Unhappy Users’ Club. The page to request a refund is found here.

@donho said in Notepad++ v8.4.3 Release Candidate:

Add an option which allows to show only 1 entry per found line in search result. (Fix #2481, #1499, #5547, #2987, #4525, #3224)

awesome, thanks! what’s about #11459?

@Dennis-Lüdemann said in Notepad++ v8.4.2 release:

if this is the wrong place, I am sorry!

Definitely the wrong place. This thread is for new and critical issues to 8.4.2.

The rightklick function to switch selected text to UPPERCASE or lowercase does not work with ß (nor ẞ --> which is uppercase of ß)

It apparently is a complicated topic that Notepad++ itself can do nothing about. Some more reading is HERE.

@donho

Just to clarify, since I didn’t say it before, for me, on Windows 7 x64 with the portable version, PluginsAdmin works as expected.

@fazhan-nur-rezza-fauzi,
the problem with v8.4.1 (and v8.4) is the Scintilla API version it uses. Scintilla 5.1.5 changed the return value of its APIs to not count the terminating NULL in the total length of the string. Obviously TextFx was programmed to expect a string length + 1.

@rdipardo said in Notepad++ v8.4.2 Release Candidate:

Has anyone else found that “Plugin’s Admin” is missing from the toolbar menu even when nppPluginList.dll is in the right place?
It seems both the portable and fully installed versions are affected: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11742

Thank you for reporting. RC 2 fixed this issue:
