      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:

      Problem signature:
      Problem Event Name: BEX
      Application Name: notepad++.exe
      Application Version: 6.9.0.0
      Application Timestamp: 56ca1e0b
      Fault Module Name: notepad++.exe
      Fault Module Version: 6.9.0.0
      Fault Module Timestamp: 56ca1e0b
      Exception Offset: 000e65f1
      Exception Code: c0000417
      Exception Data: 00000000
      OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
      Locale ID: 1033
      Additional Information 1: 9e02
      Additional Information 2: 9e023f8ba0b6751ce938bf55d2c9f867
      Additional Information 3: 153d
      Additional Information 4: 153d0bdf5b77f6e1ecaf76d7388bedaf

      ==================
      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.
