      @Alan-Kilborn I agree, the feature is great, but try to print out the file, the output can be very hard to read. I turn this feature on and off. On when editing, and off when I need to print, then back on…

        The change-history feature IS great, but it is new to Notepad++, and like a lot of new non-trivial features, it will have its share of minor troubles until it is mature. The currently-known issues with it are slated to be fixed with the release of 8.4.7.

          @guy038 Is there a way to make that preference stick?

          I turn off that option, then when I create a new document it’s on again. Wft

          FYI, I don’t want to see it when I type. It’s not just about printing. It’s majorly distracting to me.

              Is it safe to use Notepad++ in Russia? Don’t make political declaration, please just confirm “I am participating in warware” or “I am not”

                I am just curious - what do you precisely mean by “safe”?

                  @xomx,

                  I am just curious - what do you precisely mean by “safe”?

                  It’s called “protestware”.

                  The guy’s implying that Notepad++ could be booby-trapped with politically motivated exploit code.

                  Don’t try to be cheeky with a troll; just point them to the Boycott Notepad++ topic next time.

                    Did not know that, thanks. Stupid idea.

                      this may be a better version, for best performance, v8.3.3 is prone to crashes. I open about 30 tabs with core i7 gen 9 configuration and the speed is really slow. Hope that gets better with v8.4.6

                        Version V8.4.6 is a real improvement in performance, I’ve only been using it for a few days but have less crashes than previous versions.

                          @xomx there are some cases already. warware spoils reliability of Open Source.

                            @rdipardo I’d call it “warware”, or maybe “vandalware” is better. I’m not calling to use/boycott Notepad++, I’m asking author. Not you.

                            In case you can’t get it by yourself: writing a slogan to the user of the Notepad++ is a protest. Altering/destroying files is a vandalism and a crime. Spying is a crime.

                              “protestware”, “warware”, or “vandalware” - whatever its name, it’s a stupid move. Firstly not all Russians support this evasion. Secondly such action just make the software unreliable and it will lose people’s trust.
                              The voice of Notepad++ is used for some politics positions, but its quality will remain unaltered for everyone, whichever his (or her) ethnic group/nationality/region/IP address is.

                                  If…you download it from the official download site…and not any hack sites that aren’t to be trusted to begin with.
