Bug: Sometimes search results do not appear if the window is a secondary instance (Notepad++ for Windows).

[KdL]

Hello everyone,

I’m not sure if this issue has been reported before. In the recent versions of Notepad++ (within the last year), sometimes the search results do not appear when the instance is a window opened as at least the second window or more. Generally, this situation forces me to close all Notepad++ windows and reopen them, which resolves the issue, but it is very annoying to have to close windows I am using and reopen them continuously just to re-enable the search results.

The test environment is Windows 11 Pro in combination with Total Commander.
