Notepad++ crashed twice today Access violation code 5 at 0x011AD46F

[Bill LaChenal]

v7.1 crashed twice today (Windoh10, old laptop)
Both times, just after opening a new file, and clicking a bit.
{note: I find it strange it will not allow me to save a blank file, add text later}

An exception occured. Notepad++ cannot recover and must be shutdown,
The exception details are as follows
Code: 0x0000005
Type: Access violation
Exception address: 0x011AD46F

data loss likely

Notepad++ was able successfully to recover some unsaved docs
or nothin to be saved was found
You can find the results at %temp%\N++RECOV

(well, actually it expands %temp% )

…and that file contains a number of File0nn_utf8.dump
which are not terribly useful for me

Is this corrupted or a recent feature?

(PS, this input form is very difficult to use, it vanishes off the bottom of page )
