Hello Don,

I’ve, still, been able to download the N++ 6.8.9 version, from that link :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/6.x/unstableVersions/6.8.9/

I, then, installed the portable version, by downloading the npp.6.8.9.bin.7z archive

Without modifying any N++ parameter, I tried to follow the steps which produce the crash issue.

But, contrary to what you said, Don, I did NOT notice any issue, on my Win XP SP3 configuration, luckily !

Refer to the ? - Debug info list, below :

Notepad++ v6.8.9
Build time : Jan 12 2016 - 00:00:51
Path : C:\_689\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : ON
OS : Windows XP
Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PluginManager.dll

Remainder : The different steps, that I used for testing, are :

Open a new tab, in Notepad 6.8.9
Type some random characters
Save this file as Test.txt
Switch off, from N+, to Microsoft Notepad
Open the Test.txt file
Add some random characters
Save, with Microsoft Notepad, the changed file, Test.txt
Switch back to Notepad++ 6.8.9,
The Reload dialog appears : This file has been modified from another program. Do you want to reload it?
Accept it, by clicking on the Yes button

=> No crash happened ! Procedure repeated several times => All is OK, on my Win XP SP3 configuration !

Best Regards,

P.S. :

Special thanks, for points #3, #4 and #5, of the change.log !

Of course, concerning point #4, people, who created macros, involving selection of lines, will have to, slightly, change their macros !
