      @terablade2001 If you want to test PR#3075, GitHub’s AppVeyor integration does automated builds. The binaries are here x86 and x64. You only need the notepad++ binary file (not SciLexer) and then launch it from the notepad++ folder.

        I installed NPP, and can run it fine. However, I used the method to replace the Windows 10 built in Notepad by deleting the 3 copies, and copying the NPP .exe into the folders. And when I try to launch it through the Start menu, or by double clicking in one of the system folders, I get a message with the window titled “Certificate checking” and the message says “Check certificate of C:\Windows\System32\SciLexer.dll : Cannot find the requested object.”

        After clicking ok on that box, another dialogue box titled “Exception On WM_CREATE” says “ScintillaEditView::init : SCINTILLA ERROR - Can not load the dynamic library”

        I don’t think this will be a showstopper for me, but it might be a bit of a pain, until it’s resolved.

          @Lucas-Fowler Try to follow the suggestion that I wrote in this page, if I’m not in error, is the problem that I solved in my system. Also others have solved with the same method. I noticed this problem on Windows 10 migrated to Anniversary Edition only.

            @yarumoSan The CIA has a workaround for AV and Anti-Malware as well. I’d recommend taking a look into what Vault 7 holds. It’s even re-sparked the Hastings killing.

              I am getting this same issue as @terablade2001 .

              The “Lock (no drag and drop)” option in Preferences doesn’t seem to effect the status of the locked tab bar, regardless of its setting. It is always locked.

                I am trying to use the “Find in this finder” feature in “Find in Files” window in this version to narrow down the search result. There is over 100 hits being found with “Find in files” window, but nothing is found in “Find in this finder” window even the same word is put in “Find what” entry, no matter I tick the “Search only in found lines” box or not. I have no problem with old version v7.1

                By the way, Is it possible to create another finder window at the same time to display those lines found in “Find in files” but not found in “Find in this finder” window. I hope this feature can be available very soon. Your consider is highly appreciated.

                    sounds you don’t have the latest version, do you?

                    Cheers

                      I’ve just upgraded to Notepad++ v7.3.3 (32 bit) and I can no longer move positions of open tabs using drag and drop. Is this a known bug or a new setting?

                        @Mike-Bussey I just installed this version, (v7.3.3 32-bit) and have no such issue. Make sure that TabBar/Lock under preferences is not checked off.

                          I’m having the same issue here. I could drag and drop the tabs to re-position them before. This happened immediately after upgrading to v7.3.3 (32 bit Windows 10). The TabBar/Lock option is not checked.

                            Mike, Chuck,
                            The drag-and-drop functionality has been fixed and has been posted to github. This post (8 posts above you) contains links to downloadable executables that you can use right now. I believe the fix will be included in the next release.

                            Happy coding

                              The search results pane sometimes fails to open the file when double-clicking on a search result, but this seems to have gotten much worse in the latest update. Nothing happens on about half of the results that I click on now.

                                Rearranging tabs doesn’t work. Can’t drag them to reorder.
