      FYI, I suppose strongly the screenreading software is NVDA.
      I did have the same experience here:
      https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11424
      and
      https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11133

      I’ve no time yet to check how an application can make another application (Notepad++) crash. I will investigate it ASAP.

        Hello dear @donho,
        Thanks for your useful app, Notepad++. Yes. NVDA causes Notepad++ to be crashed: but this issue has begun when I updated NPP to the latest version, 8.3.3. This crash occurs when I run NVDA 2021.3.5, the newest stable version; but when I run NVDA 2022.1beta3, the latest beta, Notepad++ started running normally. I hope that I could explain the issue understandable, despite of my poor English. Thanks in advance.

          @donho ,

          In the topic “my .txt is in blank”, user @Yefrith-Gil has posted that they installed v8.3.3, and got a .txt file converted to all NUL. They have the nppLogNulContentCorruptionIssue.xml in the program folder, but %APPDATA%\Notepad++\nppLogNulContentCorruptionIssue.log did not get created. They aren’t using an encryption program, so it’s not similar to the forum complaint which became issue#11339, with the Symmantec Desktop Encryption, which is the only other NUL issue I’d heard of in recent versions.

          If you want to join that discussion, or want me to direct them to a particular issue on GitHub, please let me know.,

              I do believe this issue has been fixed :
              https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/d9c5688635ae78ad04b739fb59bb7868f1903890

              You’re right, it’s not the same issue.

              I will go to the thread and ask for testing. Thank you for the heads up.

                I just upgraded to version 8.3.3 (64-bit). Notepad++ launches without issue. I was able to open a new file and paste content in that file. I can single click in that file or select other tabs without issue. However, if I doubleclick in any tab to select text or if I hold the mouse and drag it to select text, then Notepad++ immediately crashes. I do not have the NVDA screen reader software installed on my system. I am running Windows 10 (20H2). I tried to roll back to version 8.3.1 and now it is experiencing the same issues.

                  UPDATE: I played around with removing some plugins one at a time then testing. When I removed Select to clipboard, after the restart of NPP it started working again. I re-installed 8.3.3 and for some reason all of my plugins were gone only the default were there. So I added my plugins back in and tested after each. No issues until I got to Select to Clipboard, then it started crashing again. So I removed that plugin and the issue went away. Then I added it back and NPP continued to work. I have closed and restarted NPP several times and there are no longer any issues. I use Ditto clipboard manager and not sure if that is conflicting with something in NPP. Just wanted to send an update on what I found.

                    CORRECTION: Select to clipboard plugin still causing NPP to crash. I thought I had re-installed it but it didn’t install. So I tried again and it installed and when I select text via drag or doubleclick, NPP crashes. Sorry for any confusion.

                      Just leave it uninstalled. Upvote the issue on the Select to Clipboard repo and wait for a fix. Or fix it and recompile yourself. This is due to the Notepad++ 8.3 backward compatible breaking fix to support >2G files. Plugin authors have been made aware, but since the last update to that repo was over 2 years ago, I’m guessing that author is “less” active.

                      Good luck.

                      Cheers.

                        Cursor movement not visible while I am holding Right or Left arrow key

                        I had 32 bit version.
                        Installed ver 8.3.3 64 bit.

                        Now I can not see cursor movement while I am holding Right or Left arrow key (opened 8Mb XML file https://github.com/msavli/SloKJV/blob/master/SloKJV_sword.xml).
                        So I can not see my cursor position. But between holding Right or Left arrow key some cursor occurrences can be visible for a very short moment.

                        If I uninstalled XML Tools plugin 3.1.1.12 it is much better. Cursor is again visible when holding Right or Left arrow key. But cursor is not visible at all in a first 5 lines between holding Right or Left arrow key.

                        In 32 bit version I also had installed XML Tools.
                        Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1586]
