      Just upgraded to v8.1.2 and I believe it has broken the toggles for sync scrolling… leaving them always synced and unable to be turned off. The same behaviour is noted whether I use the toolbar icons, or the menu option to atyempt to turn off syncing the scrolling. My brother is a first-time user and he also reported the same issue to me, so it appears to apply to both fresh-installs and upgrades alike.

      I was using it with Compare plugin in case this makes a difference.

        I cannot reproduce it with my v8.1.2 w/wo dark mode. I think it’s rather a plugin issue.

          Weirdly, it appears to be working here now too. Nothing changed here except for closing Notepad++ earlier, and then just re-opened it now! (I was re-opening it with a view to trying it without Compare installed, But it was already working for me now before I managed to remove Compare plugin.). Therefore assume it is sorted… but I’ll report back of I see any repeat, or I narrow it down further.

            I found a regression introduced in V8.0.
            Mark all feature is no longer configurable through “find dialog settings”. It was wery convenient to configure it through “find dialod settings”, in a same way like smart highlighting.
            Please consider to set it back.

              I think in my following the issues I saw that it was a design decision to do it the way it was changed. Of course this is not saying it can’t be changed again.

                By the way, does anybody remember the issue in scope of which it was changes? I’m just curious.

                  Here is the pull request, it appears multiple “issues” were driving it: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/9796

                    Latest version doesn’t work properly. Old version was better…

                      Instead of vague complaining, please give concrete examples of how the behavior has changed, and why you think it worked better before.

                        Still a problem with losing some settings if installing with elevated user rights for a limited user.
                        At least open files in session and histroy of opened files is lost.

                        This worked until 7.9.5 very clean.

                            Save of existing file works, but saving a new file or Save As of any file is unresponsive once you get to the Save dialogue box. Can’t enter a file name or get Save button to work.

                              @David-Sperduto Running Vista Home Premium SP2 if that’s relevant.

                                @David-Sperduto I’m afraid fixes for bugs that are specific to Windows Vista won’t be accepted. Please refer to this page about supported versions: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/SUPPORTED_SYSTEM.md
                                I’d recommend you to use an older version of Notepad++.

                                  @mere-human It’s a critical issue. Does Vista’s runtime system not support at all our new Save dialog? Or there’s a way (not restoring the old system) to fix it?

                                      @donho I can’t say for sure. I need a Vista on VM to take a look.

                                        Let’s see if there are others Vista users have the same problem before getting into it.

                                        @David-Sperduto Could you create an issue on GitHube please :

                                          I have Vista Enterprise in a VM and tested Save As. As @David-Sperduto wrote, I was not able to input a new filename, the dialog just hangs. Same with Save a copy as.
