      Using 7.9.1 64-bit, I have a list of usernames, one per line, surrounded by double quotes. I am trying to use Replace All in Normal mode to replace double quote with empty string, in the whole document. If I have 250 lines, it works as expected, but with 500 lines or more, I get a progress spinner that remains for an inordinate time (MS Notepad replaces in 2700 lines nearly instantly). I don’t know if it would ever finish; I haven’t wanted to wait for it. Anyone seen this?

        @Jerry-O-Brien ,

        500 lines is tiny, and shouldn’t have a problem.

        Could you give a screenshot of your Replace dialog?

          Further:

          lasted less than a second from hitting Replace All.

          Please also give your ? menu’s Debug Info (copy/paste from that window to here)

            Notepad++ v7.9.1 (64-bit)
            Build time : Nov 2 2020 - 01:07:46
            Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
            Admin mode : OFF
            Local Conf mode : OFF
            OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit)
            OS Version : 1909
            OS Build : 18363.1198
            Current ANSI codepage : 1252
            Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll NppXmlTreeviewPlugin.dll XMLTools.dll

            This file had 2320 lines. Typical lines look like this:
            “aaaron”
            “aaden”
            “aagarwal”
            etc.

            I’ll hold off trying a reinstall to see if you want to try anything else.

              I would give it a try without having 3rd party plugins installed.
              Temporarily rename plugins directory from %APPDATA%\notepad++
              Start npp and redo the test.

                @Ekopalypse Thanks. I removed and reinstalled XML Tools and that fixed it.
