    @donho Hi, I am trying to submit this as an issue on Github, however, I keep receiving an “Error Unable to create issue.” with no further information, all the while Github appears to be working & I cannot resolve how to submit this issue ticket without any further errors… Title: Regression in v8.9.6.4: Open File no longer resolves selected relative paths from current document directory Body: Description In Notepad++ v8.9.6.4, Edit > On Selection > Open File no longer opens selected relative file paths that worked in v8.9.5. This appears to be a regression in how Open File resolves selected relative paths against the current document directory. Working version Notepad++ v8.9.5 64-bit Build time: May 10 2026 - 22:41:06 Broken version Notepad++ v8.9.6.4 64-bit Build time: Jun 3 2026 - 23:47:49 Example file structure C:\repo\example-repo\Bulk_Master_All.bdf C:\repo\example-repo\Case_Control\Example_Include_File.bdf Steps to reproduce Open this file in Notepad++: C:\repo\example-repo\Bulk_Master_All.bdf Select this relative path text: …\Case_Control\Example_Include_File.bdf Run Edit > On Selection > Open File, or right-click the selected path and choose Open File. Expected behavior Notepad++ should resolve the selected path relative to the current document directory: C:\repo\example-repo\Bulk…\Case_Control\Example_Include_File.bdf This normalizes to: C:\repo\example-repo\Case_Control\Example_Include_File.bdf The file should open. Actual behavior Notepad++ v8.9.6.4 shows: The path you’re trying to open doesn’t exist Additional confirmation Selecting and opening the absolute path works: C:\repo\example-repo\Case_Control\Example_Include_File.bdf The expected behavior happens successfully after rolling back to Notepad++ v8.9.5; this has been the case for numerous versions of Notepad++ & never had an issue until now. This suggests the file exists, permissions are not the problem, and the regression is specific to selected relative path resolution in Open File. Debug info from broken version Notepad++ v8.9.6.4 64-bit Build time: Jun 3 2026 - 23:47:49 Path: C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe Admin mode: OFF Local Conf mode: OFF Cloud Config: OFF WinGUp: present disableNppAutoUpdate.xml: absent Plugins: ComparePlugin 2.0.2 Explorer 1.9.9 mimeTools 3.1 NppConverter 4.7 NppExport 0.4

    @makeymalik , Longstanding known issue: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/8660 From what I understand from that Issue, it’s usually related to the OS display-scaling setting in High-DPI modes. There’s a volunteer who has been slowly working through the known DPI issues, but hasn’t gotten to this one

    @Václav-Hanzlik said: we have just found that function - “on selection - open file” does not working It works for me. I have a file called C:\usr\local\apps\npp\npp.8.9.6.4.portable.x64\license.txt If I have that text selected in Notepad++ v8.9.6.4, and do Edit > On Selection > Open File, it opens the license file. Can you show an example that doesn’t work, including a screenshot showing the exact selection, along with a directory listing proving you have that file? Like I provide below: [image: 1780930957505-6758db40-8aaf-474c-a415-9a3e1a2597cf-image.jpeg] C:\usr\local\apps\npp\npp.8.9.6.4.portable.x64>dir *.txt Volume in drive C is OS Volume Serial Number is AA11-1111 Directory of C:\usr\local\apps\npp\npp.8.9.6.4.portable.x64 01/29/2026 07:34 PM 35,500 license.txt 01/29/2026 07:34 PM 1,526 readme.txt 2 File(s) 37,026 bytes 0 Dir(s) 445,432,713,216 bytes free
