        @donho sorry couldn’t remember the version prior. But looks like the issue is with OS as I am getting the expected result on Windows Server 2012 using the same N++ version.

        This is what I expected with Multi-Instance enabled. Select multiple files, right click and Edit with Notepad++, files will then be opened in a single instance of Notepad++. Select another batch of multiple files, right click and Edit with Notepad++, files will then be opened in another instance of Notepad++.

          Could you create an issue here:

          I’ll work on it if the issue can be reproducible.

              I too have the same problem - it was in the previous version - I updated to the next (this one) hoping it had been fixed, but no. Certainly cramps the way I use NP now.

                Having said that, I’ve just rechecked setting Multi-Instance mode - it now looks like it’s working fine - so perhaps has been a Win11 problem? Great, I can work freely again!

                  Correction - it works fine if using a session file, but not when manually selecting some files, right-clicking, and then ‘Edit with Notepad++’. So at least there’s a work-around…

                    Sorry, I misread your message.
                    If multi-instance is enabled, it’s normal that “Edit with Notepad++” opens several files into several instances. So it’s the expected behaviour to me.

                    Prior to 8.5.3 whenever I select multiple files (by highlighting) and right click Edit with Notepad++, all of the files are opened on a single instance. Now with 8.5.3, all files are opened separately (new instance).

                    Could you provide the version please?

                      I guess you have also the problem of multi-instance settings with “Edit with Notepad++” problem.
                      What’s the old version which works to you?
                      I need to be able to reproduce the different behaviour to know if it’s a regression.

                        The culprit is NppShell.dll, an issue has been created:

                          If anyone else is mildly (or severely!) dissatisfied with the fact that non-printing characters and control characters no longer show up by default, here is an issue that I introduced
                          and here is the script that I created to show non-printing and control characters but not CR and LF:

                          from Npp import *
                          
                          notepad.menuCommand(44130) # toggle all non-printing characters
                          notepad.menuCommand(44131) # toggle all control characters (e.g., BEL, ENQ)
                          

                          I’ve done something similar, using the Customize Toolbar plugin to create a custom button:

                          View,Show Symbol,Show Control Characters  Unicode EOL,,*#4080C0:¶,*#4080C0:¶
                          

                          Note the two spaces between “Show Control Characters” and “Unicode EOL” and no ampersand![^1]

                          custom_button.png

                          [^1]: I spent a lot of time on this until I realised I could use the string from the Shortcut Mapper.
