I can't drag-and-drop Notepad++ v6.8.8

Marcelo Luz

Seens that I can’t drad-and-drop anymore using Notepad++ v6.8.8.

Is that a bug? Where can I report this?

Thank you!

Marcelo

issues can be reported here.
I’m using npp 6.8.8 as well and I don’t have that behaviour.
Can we get a debug info output? Goto ?->Debug Info

Cheers

I’ve created the issue #1431 with this possible bug and also with the debug info.

Hello Marcelo-Luz,

I assume I know what’s going on.
You start npp as elevated process (as seen by Admin mode : ON) but, I assume,
explorer was start with normal privileges. When you now, drag a file from explorer
to npp you get that kind of behaviour as windows doesn’t allow it.
In general, a process with lower privilege cannot drag something to a process with higher privileges. So, solution would be either to start explorer as admin as well or npp with normal privileges.

Cheers
Claudia
