Find In Files causes Right-Click Context Menu to stop working

Brian McCann · Jul 8, 2015, 8:30 PM

With v6.7.9.2 after executing a Find In Files, the Context Menu stops working. Opening a new instance with -multiInst option returns the functionality in the new instance but not the original. Using a WinXP machine.

As a temporary solution until the problem is fixed you can disable DSpellCheck plugin (move the DSpellCheck.dll to plugins/disabled folder).

Ditto on Windows 8.0
Glad to know a restart of Notepad++ will reset the issue.

Also version 6.9 had the same problem. I moved DSpellCheck.dll to plugins/disabled folder and is now working.

Hello Jason and All,

You should do this test :

Re-install the DSpellCheck plugin in the plugins directory
Open Notepad++
Choose the menu option Plugins - DSpellCheck- Settings…
Click on the Simple tab, if necessary
At the bottom of this panel, for Suggestions Control, click on the drop-down list
Select the Special Suggestion Button ( instead of the default option Use N++ Context Menu )
Click, now, on the Advanced tab
In Underline Style, you may change the appearance of the misspelled words ( Squiggle, by default ) as well as the colour ( Red by default )

As DSpellCheck will, no longer, use the Context Menu, may be the issues won’t appear anymore !?

Best Regards,

For me, this was resolved by removing the 1.2.12.2 version of DSpellChecker and retaining 1.2.12.0 version.
