      I apologize.

      I did not mean the “More colors” popup, but the color pallet which opens on clicking the square color control.

        Document Map

        I use 4K screen. Is this normal ? I can’t see anything on the right. Color background shown in the middle.
        Should I change the display settings, or is this a regression of NP++?

          After changing the display scale from 150% back to 100%, then the document map was showing normally.
          But scale =150% was very common on 4K screen.

            @Yaron that is the point, indeed.
            Not correlated to CRLF, it was just the feature I was testing in the first place

              … and it is a teeny-tiny bug, just the kind I am the only one in the world to detect, and nobody cares about (as I wrote already) ;-)

                Thank you for confirming.

                  Thank you for your debug info (via the private message).
                  However, I cannot reproduce the bug at all.
                  Could you provide the step by step instructions please?

                  Sure! I just figured out a way to do it again:

                  1. Do a Find In Files search for something you know won’t be found.
                  2. Do a Find In Files search for something you know will find multiple files.
                  3. Do a Find In Files search for something you know won’t be found.
                  4. Do a Find In Files search for something you know will find multiple files.
                  5. Observe there are no open/close icons for the results that found no files.
                  6. Collapse all the results.
                  7. Delete the result from step 3 (Delete key).
                  8. You now have the result I described above.

                  I can tell from the repro steps and gui behavior this is going to be obnoxious to solve. You’ve got two sets of objects, one that describe the gui state and the other the results. They are out of sync with each other. :(

                    Thank you for providing the step by step instruction. However, I can’t still reproduce it by following your instructions:

                    @Yaron
                    Can you reproduce it in your PC?

                      Under Windows 11, it works fine.
                      I’ll check the code.

                        Not being able to edit posts here is slightly inconvenient.
                        I’ve preferred opening new issues on GitHub.

                          For some reason my plugin, NPPTextFX, disappeared. It still exists as a folder and DLL in the plugins folder but does not appear as an installation option. Has this plugin been superseded?

                              Sometimes I use Notepad++ to edit long plain text files (not code) and I need a way to mark where the page breaks are. How hard would it be to add the capability to highlight line numbers (e.g., put a dot next to 64, 128, 192, etc.)? Or is there a plugin that already adds this capability?

                              Thanks.

                                  Greetings.

                                  I have stopped working with code years ago, but still use N++ as my normal text editor. I don’t edit text files much, though.

                                  A few weeks ago I attempted an auto-update. Afterwards, N++ would immediately crash upon attempting to use it. I finally got around to debugging the issue.

                                  Long story short, the crash is triggered by the presence of toolbarIcons.xml in the %appdata%\Notepad++ directory. The date on the file is March 28, 2006. Evidently this file is from a very old version of Notepad++. I can recall some issue with tool bar icons many years ago but don’t remember any details. Anyway, the presence of the file causes all versions of N++ starting with 8.4.2 to crash.

                                  I will copy the beginning of the file below. The directory referenced does not exist on my computer.

                                  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
                                  <NotepadPlus>
                                      <ToolBarIcons>
                                  	    <!-- the value pathPrefix should be the path where you can find all icons -->
                                  		<Theme name = "Crystal++" pathPrefix = "D:\Program Files\Accessories\Notepad++\NppCrystalToolbarIcons\Icons\">
                                  			<Icon name = "new" id = "0">
                                  				<normal>new_normal.ico</normal>
                                  				<hover>new_hover.ico</hover>
                                  			</Icon>
                                  			<Icon name = "open" id = "1">
                                  				<normal>fileopen_normal.ico</normal>
                                  				<hover>fileopen_hover.ico</hover>
                                  			</Icon>

                                    @Eric-Schmenk,

                                    The directory referenced does not exist

                                    Unfortunately N++ doesn’t know any better than to try accessing the non-existent icons. A null pointer dereference would explain the crash.

                                    Stale or invalid config files are a pretty consistent source of crashes; some recent examples:

                                    • NPP crashes on opening Style Configurator if stylers do not exist
                                    • NPP crashes on opening a session file
                                    • Application does not start (severe bug)
                                    • . . .

                                          I have changed some of the settings to make the window cleaner, but since the last update it looks like this:

                                          Before it was like this:

                                            I’d suppose THIS is your problem.
