Stale or invalid config files are a pretty consistent source of crashes; some recent examples:

NPP crashes on opening Style Configurator if stylers do not exist
NPP crashes on opening a session file
Application does not start (severe bug)

The 3 above issues are fixed to me. If not, please comment on the issue by providing the instructions for reproduce the bugs.

Otherwise, please stop misleading users with your ambiguous comments.

I have changed some of the settings to make the window cleaner, but since the last update it looks like this:

Before it was like this:

I’d suppose THIS is your problem.

I have experienced 2 issues after upgrading to v8.4.4:

Find functionality: The Find dialog doesn’t work as well because now it always searches up or down and cannot search the entire document up/down using the find next button. The workaround is to use the “Find All in Current Document” button.
This issue seems to be tied to the add-in “3P - Progress Programmers Pal”
Auto-completion text seems to terribly bog down the CPU on my computer, even though it is a relatively powerful computer (Dell for Engineering Design). This only started after upgrading to v8.4.4.

I don’t remember the exact version that I was using prior but highly likely to be the last stable version as I update every time the dialog appears.

So I’m trying to decipher what this is saying…with zero success.
Can you elaborate and clarify?
If a specific example with real text helps, by all means present that.

Make sure you’ve checked Wrap arround:

@donho Thanks! This actually was this issue. I don’t know how this was changed unless the default changed with an update…

@Alan-Kilborn As for the CPU usage issue, I tested again and am not able to reproduce the issue. If it comes back will try to lock down what is happening better and if necessary repost.
Thanks, Lawrence

No “default changed with an update”.

I know how it happened: You clicked on Wrap around and it became unticked. Next time, please analyze what you are doing before posting a complaint.

Kudos to donho for figuring out what your complaint actually was (I certainly couldn’t, from your description).
