Just installed 6.8.3 in Win81 and hit the same thing. Any time I exit it hangs. I went back to 6.8.2 and did not experience the same behavior.

I am having same problem with Notepad++ crashing constantly on a machine I just started using it on. It freezes, does not respond, and has to be killed with Task Manager. I’m running Windows 8.1 64 bit with all the latest updates. Any ideas? I don’t see a place to look for reported bugs.

Problem solved: Notepad++ needed to be restarted after installing WinCompose. (Notepad++ obviously hooks into the keyboard handling at quite a deep level – it also needs to be restarted after changing keyboard layout.)

Hi All,

I just forgot to give an example of the general S/R, detailed, in my previous post !

Then, giving the upper-case string ABC, as a start delimiter and the upper-case string XYZ as en end delimiter, which leads to the regex :

SEARCH = (?-s)^.*ABC(?s).*?(?-s)XYZ.*(\R|\z)

REPLACE = NOTHING

The text, below :

This line, containing ABC, will be deleted This is a BLOCK of text which will be DELETED as well as this line XYZ This piece of text will NOT be DELETED but the BLOCK of the TWO NEXT ONES will ABC XYZ This text, with some blank lines, won't be modified, but the NEXT line will ! ABCXYZ The BLOCK of the TWO NEXT lines, below, will be DELETED 12345ABC 67890 ABC --- XYZ XYZ --- as well as this LAST block, below --- ABC --- XYZ --- ABC --- ABC --- XYZ --- XYZ --- ABC --- ABCXYZ ---

will be CHANGED into :

This piece of text will NOT be DELETED but the BLOCK of the TWO NEXT ONES will This text, with some blank lines, won't be modified, but the NEXT line will ! The BLOCK of the TWO NEXT lines, below, will be DELETED as well as this LAST block, below

@tomas-chrastina Thanks very much for your help! This solved my issues! Also, after trying this, I noticed that right-clicking within the text box shows a “right-to-left reading order” toggle.
