      @Jumo-Mumo ,
      I can confirm the issue, at least in the portable version. However, this seems to be in the progress dialog box which, at least on my old laptop, is hardly up long enough to be of consequence, IMHO…but it is confirmed.

        Yep, it is a v8.6.8 regression caused by the Add new dpi support to Find in Files Progress window commit.

          New feature or bug, it’s discuss-able.
          But I see your point.
          I’ll see what I can do about it.

            Note that Hits is translatable so we have to reserve a max fix length.
            As well for the number (not translatable but its length could be variable so the same max fix length is reserved).

            Which version you prefer?

              @donho ,
              The first one, with the count on the left, since that is what the prior version’s behavior was…I’d think it would be best to keep it consistent through versions if at all possible…but you are the architect, it’s your drawing/design. :-)

                While I also prefer Hits ### to be the left of the [Cancel] button can you nudge or float the button to the right should a translation of Hits ### be too long?

                Do you support newlines in a translation? If so, don’t bother with nudging the button. Instead, it’s up to the translator to arrange the text so that it fits.

                  Can you put it as is shown in @Jumo-Mumo 's screenshot, that is, above the progress bar, instead of below? This way the “Cancel” button doesn’t create problems if “Hits: #####” becomes too large. I think what Jumo wants is simply to have the number aligned to the left, and not to the right.

                          The search window (CTRL+F) only remembers the position, but not the size.
                          In previous versions it remembered both.

                              There’s a crash report of v8.6.8 under Windows 7:

                              Could anyone here who has Windows 7 test this version, and let me know if the crash can reproduce?

                                  with 8.6.8 i am seeing , notepad++ not able to open the file from a linux mapped drive in windows but able to open linux folder mapped to windows.

                                  drive mapping shortcut and folder mapping shortcut both point to same user folder.
                                  in normal windows through browsing i am able to open both the shortcuts, if go to the file through folder mapping i am able to open the file in notepad++, if i go through drive mapping to the same file not able to open in notepad++.

                                  OS version: windows 11

                                    @RAMA-KRISHNA - If you can open a file in Notepad++ using folder mapping then what gets put in the copy/paste buffer when you right click on the tab for the file and select Copy to Clipboard / Copy Full File Path?

                                      In this post, @Paolo-Santini pointed out another regression: v8.6.7 remembered the Find / Replace / Find-in-Files dialog size from one run to the next, whereas v8.6.8 does not.

                                            Hello,
                                            I find an error with a new version:

                                            I save csv file in excel (ANSI encoding) and then open it in Notepad++ and Convert it to UTF-8.

                                            When I installed 8.6.8 after clicking “Convert to UTF-8” it would delete all the text from the file instead of converting it.

                                            I installed older version (8.6.7) and it works just as it used to.

                                            it would be great to correct the error.
                                            Thank you!
