Unexpected Behaviour in "Replace With" Box
-
I hit some key combination by accident, and now in my Find-And-Replace window, the Replace With text box is behaving unusually.
It is now right-justified, and tries to put certain characters on the left of the string. I’m guessing this is some kind of regexp syntax or some-such? Anyway, I’ve looked around to try and get it back to normal, but am having no luck. Please help!
Thanks very much in advance!

Hi,
do you have right-to-left keyboard installed? If yes, try to clear field. Then change your keybard to EN, and start over. Or try shortcuts Ctrl + Right Shift / Ctrl + Left Shift while in the textbox.
Other way is to check what value exactly is stored in history of Replace with field. Check this file:
%APPDATA%\Notepad++\config.xmlFind section:
<FindHistory ...> <Replace name=""/>Check name values. If there is something strange, remove it.

@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.
