@microka said in Notepad++ v8.3 release:
Update to v8.3(x64) from v8.2.1, open a file the cursor is positioned at the second character.
I think it may be related to the file encoding (please specify is it ANSI, or UTF-8, or UCS-2) and to the exact characters in this file. Also it may have something to do with the system encoding for non-Unicode files.
Could you check if it is reproducible with a newly created file that contains e.g. just few first lines of your text in question? Could you share this file (either a new one, if the problem is reproducible there, or the original one, if the problem is reproducible only with it)?

@vitalii-dovgan N++ test files.zip
I create txt files with different encoding (including ANSI, UTF-8, UTF-8-BOM, UTF-16 BE BOM, UTF-16 LE BOM), all files reproduce this problem. -

I could not reproduce this problem using a fresh folder with just unpacked “npp.8.3.portable.7z” from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v8.3/
Is it reproducible for you in the same situation?
If it’s reproducible, could you share your “session.xml” file?
If it’s not reproducible, could you try to identify what needs to be done to reproduce the problem? (Please note that the portable version does not use any additional plugin that might be previously installed for a non-portable version of Notepad++. In such case, the problem may be actually caused by some of plugins that were previously installed for a non-portable version. To test if it is so, you may rename the file “doLocalConf.xml” in your portable Notepad++ folder to make it non-portable). -

Even i rename the file “doLocalConf.xml”, still not reproducible.
I have renamed my N++ subfolder “plugins” to “plugins.bak” and deleted all files under “C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++”, the non-portable version still have this problem.Now i figure out something. When i double-click a file to open it, this problem occur, but if i open a file using NPP’s menu “File -> Open” doesn’t have this problem.

To be clear, i am dragging a file to the portable NPP to test.

NppTaskList 2.3 plugin (the latest) causes Notepad++ 8.3 x64 to shut down on start, including when the only file open is a new blank.
All other plugins I use seem to be fine, it’s probably down to the plugin author to update it but I thought I would report it in case others are struggling to find why the application is closing. -

@microka
I am able to reproduce the problem now.As you have already stated, it is visible only in an installed N++, not in a portable one. I can trigger this behavior e.g. by right-clicking on a text file and choosing “Edit with Notepad++” from the popup menu.
The previous 8.2.1 installation does not show this positioning on 2nd char.

@xomx Thank you!

It can be reproduced with a portable NPP by using the command line: “NPP Path” “File Name”.

auto-complete is broken in this release

It’s not. You just don’t read releases notes.

Then change it back.

This post is deleted! -
Since version 8.2.1 and also in 8.3, when autocomplete pops up, pressing Enter no longer completes it, I get a newline instead.
Please fix this. -
Reading the links that @Michael-Vincent posted a few posts above will tell you what you need to do to configure it as you desire.
