      @donho The GitHub-Release (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/tag/v8.5.7) has a wrong link:
      wrong: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v856-released-fix-security-issues/
      correct: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v857-released-fix-security-issues/

          Clearing Read-Only Flag does not make a file editable.

          On v8.5.7, when you clear read-only flag of a file, you need to reload the file from the disk to be enable to edit it.

          E.g. on v8.5.6, reload is not required, just clearing read-only flag makes a file editable.

                  I thought I were a perfectionist, but I turn out to be a prefectionist!
                  Thank you for your heads up, the typo is fixed (also on the website).

                        @donho Please see the <NeedToBeUpdated> is always “yes” forum thread which covers a regression introduced by Notepad v8.5.7.

                        In this case likely fix will be in win4gup and then to https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php
