Double View Save and Reload Conflict

[Fern99]

I use Notepad++ with double view, which means same file is opened on another view in the same instance. (And only one instance is opened)

When everything goes RIGHT:

• When I search for something, it shows me it is found in 1 file (instead of 2)
  -When I replace things, it is applied only one time (not 2)
• When I make a change, it is applied to the file on both views.

Sometimes (especially when the computer is restarted), if Notepad++ is opened, it is loading the last sessions (where the files are opened in 2 views in the same instance, and only one instance is opened). And then:

-When I search for something, it shows me it is found in 2 files (same file)

• When I replace things, it is applied twice on the same file.
• When I change things, it is applied to only one view.
• (And last but not least), when I try to close Notepad++ or click the file on the other view, it is telling me that this file is modified by another program (what it means is that, it is modified on the other view of Notepad++ in the same instance - and only one instance is opened -) and if I want to reload it.

What is causing this conflict and how can I solve it?

Thanks.

If you have a look at the 8.5.7 release notes HERE, you’ll see number 7:

Fix cloned document disassociated issue after Notepad++ being relaunched

It sounds to me from your problem description that you should try this new (week-old) release.
