      Notepad++ v8.3 Release is available here:
      https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v83-boycott-beijing-2022/

      Notepad++ v8.3 new features and bug-fixes:

      1. Remove 2GB file open restriction for x64 binary.
      2. Improve large files (200MB) loading speed and editing/browsing performance.
      3. Fix Find in Files crash issue.

      Note that during v8.3 installation, HexEditor, Compare, DSPellCheck, QucikColorPicker and SpeechPlugin are removed due to their incompatibility with v8.3. HexEditor, Compare, DSPellCheck can be reinstalled the fixed version right after installation via PluginAdmin. There are more plugins found to have stability issue with this version. Here is the info to the plugin authors for fixing this issue.

      I want to make a point of thanking the whole community, the contributors who help testing, finding the issue, and doing the code contribution.

            Not for me.

            Could you please re-test with all your N++ plugins temporarily disabled?
            (you can use e.g. this cmdline command with parameter “notepad++.exe -noPlugin” or simply rename your N++ subfolder “plugins” to “plugins.bak”)

              I have renamed my N++ subfolder “plugins” to “plugins.bak”, and re-open a file but this problem still occur. Even i uninstall N++ and deleted user config files, and re-install N++ v8.3, still have this problem.

                      I think it may be related to the file encoding (please specify is it ANSI, or UTF-8, or UCS-2) and to the exact characters in this file. Also it may have something to do with the system encoding for non-Unicode files.

                      Could you check if it is reproducible with a newly created file that contains e.g. just few first lines of your text in question? Could you share this file (either a new one, if the problem is reproducible there, or the original one, if the problem is reproducible only with it)?

                        I create txt files with different encoding (including ANSI, UTF-8, UTF-8-BOM, UTF-16 BE BOM, UTF-16 LE BOM), all files reproduce this problem.

                          I could not reproduce this problem using a fresh folder with just unpacked “npp.8.3.portable.7z” from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v8.3/
                          Is it reproducible for you in the same situation?
                          If it’s reproducible, could you share your “session.xml” file?
                          If it’s not reproducible, could you try to identify what needs to be done to reproduce the problem? (Please note that the portable version does not use any additional plugin that might be previously installed for a non-portable version of Notepad++. In such case, the problem may be actually caused by some of plugins that were previously installed for a non-portable version. To test if it is so, you may rename the file “doLocalConf.xml” in your portable Notepad++ folder to make it non-portable).

                            It’s weird, using npp.8.3.portable.x64.zip cannot reproduce this problem. Even i rename the file “doLocalConf.xml”, still not reproducible.
                            I have renamed my N++ subfolder “plugins” to “plugins.bak” and deleted all files under “C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++”, the non-portable version still have this problem.

                            Now i figure out something. When i double-click a file to open it, this problem occur, but if i open a file using NPP’s menu “File -> Open” doesn’t have this problem.

                              To be clear, i am dragging a file to the portable NPP to test.

                                NppTaskList 2.3 plugin (the latest) causes Notepad++ 8.3 x64 to shut down on start, including when the only file open is a new blank.
                                All other plugins I use seem to be fine, it’s probably down to the plugin author to update it but I thought I would report it in case others are struggling to find why the application is closing.

                                  Thanks - and please open a ticket on the appropriate place for that plugin (which seems to be here) and reference https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/22471/recompile-your-x64-plugins-with-new-header

                                      I am able to reproduce the problem now.

                                      As you have already stated, it is visible only in an installed N++, not in a portable one. I can trigger this behavior e.g. by right-clicking on a text file and choosing “Edit with Notepad++” from the popup menu.

                                      The previous 8.2.1 installation does not show this positioning on 2nd char.

                                        Thanks for reporting that positioning at the 2nd char issue.

                                        I have just submitted a PR, which will also fix this issue.
