      Up until recently at the end of a line of code on a php file, if I went to the next line by pressing the down arrow, it automatically returned to the last > on the next line, but now it just goes to the line below as if it was full of space characters and I can back space to the chevron or pull the line back for example:
      <p>lots of text</p>A
      <p>B C

      Moving the cursor from point A to C it used to automatically go to point B, now it stays at Point C and I have to physically move it to point B, has something changed ?
      When I submitted it C moved beside B, my question was C is direct;y below A. Notepad++ used to move it to the chevron it doesn’t now ??

        My guess is that you (intentionally or accidentally) checkmarked the option Settings > Preferences > Editing > ☑ Enable Virtual Space, which allows you to place your cursor beyond the end of the line.

        (In a fresh installation / fresh portable, that option defaults to not being checkmarked, so you or someone else with access to your Notepad++ has turned it on, if I am correct about the culprit)
