    Hi,

    In the recent update (perhaps in 8.3.3 but I am not 100% sure) NPP changed the behaviour of F3 button.
    Before, I was able to hold F3 and quickly go through the whole file.
    Now, when I hold F3, the vertical scrollbar shows it’s progressing, but the document itself is frozen. Only when I release the button, it jumps to the position in file indicated by scrollbar.

    I suppose this is a bug, as I see no advantage of the new behaviour; is it the right category to request fixing it?

      Works fine for me with the same version

      Notepad++ v8.3.3   (64-bit)

      Possibly a plugin is interfering, what does NppHorizontalRuler.dll do?

        I can only assume this is an XML file and yo need to update your XML Tools to the latest version (3.1.1.13 as of this comment) as this is a known issue with older versions.

        Cheers.

          Hi,

          I have uninstalled the Horizontal Ruler, and updated XMLTools to 3.1.1.13, and it’s still incorrect. This is a large XML file, 57 MB, 1.7 million lines. With a smaller file (87k lines) it works fine.

          I have narrowed it down a bit; apparently, the problem occurs when the number of lines between occurrences is large. I cannot share the original file itself for privacy reasons, but I got the path:

          • take file “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET \DirectX for Managed Code\1.0.2911.0\Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.xml”
          • copy everything between second and penultimate line, 20 times (I got 270k lines)
          • search for “Microsoft.DirectX.PrivateImplementationDetails.”, normal mode
          • hold F3
