Notepad++ crashes, file is lost
-
I use Notepad++ all the time in a programming environment. I usually have about 10 - 15 files open.
Every so often, when I click “Save”, Notepad++ crashes. This wouldn’t be SO bad except that it helpfully truncates the file it wanted to save to zero bytes before crashing. To say this is a hassle is an understatement. Sure, I have a backup copy of my work, but when NP++ crashes, I do lose the work since the last backup. Here’s the crash info:

P.S. I just found out that NP++ has backup copies in the C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\backup directory. That’s a help.
