Version 7.8.5 ( 32bits) not able to replace a comma correctly

Mark Marques

In the latest version in a file with 3MB ( containing several hundreds of commas “,”) I wanted to replace them into tabs …
( or viceversa )
Everything is apparently working but 1 hour later the interface was still busy …

In previvious vesion everything was Ok … So something is not right at least with this version …
Any ideas ?

@Mark-Marques

depending what your previous version was it could be a plugin
which needs to be updated as well as the scintilla notification structure has changed.

Thank you for the hint…
As soon as I disable ( almost all plugins) this detail is now working as expected…

Nonetheless I only need the TextFX ( 32 only) ; Compare; and Runme plugins …
Which for now solve this detail…
But how can i know ( or report ) which plugin breaks the search function ?

It seems like you would have to add the plugins back in, one at a time, and see when the problem reappears?

If you then settle on a plugin that you think is the culprit, probably try again with ONLY that plugin installed to be sure.

Hi @mark-marques, @ekopalypse, @alan-kilborn and All,

To control which plugin(s) is/are loaded on Notepad++ start :

Close any opened N++ instance
Reach your active plugins location
For any plugin , NOT desired, simply change the name of its folder ( for instance, add a simple character at beginning or end of each name ! )
Restart Notepad++

For instance, my own 7.8.5 plugins folder contains the following subfolders :

BetterMultiSelection
ComparePlus
Config
doc
DSpellCheck
ElasticTabstops
mimeTools
NppConverter
NppExport
NppPluginDemo

If I want to open Notepad++, without, let’s say, the DSpellCheck and the Npp PluginDemo plugins, simply rename these 2 subfolders, like below :

BetterMultiSelection
ComparePlus
Config
doc
-DSpellCheck
ElasticTabstops
mimeTools
NppConverter
NppExport
-NppPluginDemo

OR

BetterMultiSelection
ComparePlus
Config
doc
DSpellCheck_0
ElasticTabstops
mimeTools
NppConverter
NppExport
NppPluginDemo_0

Best Regards,
