Hello, @don-ho and All,

Many thanks for this new release and, especially, for the points 4 to 8 !

Now, regarding point 6, there’s something strange when sorting data, with the new size column !

After a first Wiindow > Windows... command, with column □ size , I got, for instance :

with files simply sorted by opening order. OK !

Now, after clicking on the title of the ▼ Size column, I got :

And was unable to find out the logic of the sort !?

Clicking a second time of the title of the ▲ Size column, I got :

Not important, of course, Don, but we would expect a classical numeric sort, by file size !

Best Regards,

Hi, All,

Here are, below, all the changes between the 2 releases Notepad++ v7.8.4 and Notepad++ v7.8.5, contained in the .7z archives

This report is identical between the x86 and x64 versions and, probably, is identical in the .zip archives, as well !

This table, built up from a report generated with the Winmerge software, may be useful when trying to overwrite an existing N++ configuration !

   COMPARISON between '.7z' archives x86 or x64 of Notepad++ v7.8.4 and Notepad++ v7.8.5
