Notepad++ release 8.7

xomx

If there’s not a lot of code change, and no regression risk of course, why not?

It should be one src-line change.
I will try and if it is OK I will make a PR for that, hopefully before the next release.

(BTW I was able to reproduce that “Show details button” clicking problem on my older PC, where it was ok before, by clicking first somewhere in the inactive part of the installer page with that problematic-btn, so it is probably connected to the focus somehow…)

@donho Hi.
I don’t have the search results window appear for all open documents.
I fixed the problem in previous versions by adding two lines to config.xml.
<FloatingWindow cont=“6” x=“2669” y=“198” width=“4974” height=“1362” />
<ActiveTabs cont=“6” activeTab=“0” />

@Rudolf-Baykalov ,

You might want to read v8.7 search results window not showing and Ctrl+shift+f not working … – those might give you ideas on how to get your search-results window working for now. @xomx (who is usually the volunteer to work on such issues in the codebase) is well aware of the problem, and I’m hoping there will be a fix in-place before v8.7.1 is released.

We also have a FAQ from the earlier versions where it was often caused by the docked-panel size getting too small, so people didn’t notice it; that aspect was fixed in v8.6.9, but unfortunately, we’ve seen a lot of these reports in v8.7.

As mentioned in those other threads, usually if people exit Notepad++, edit %AppData%\Notepad++\config.xml with a different editor (like the builtin notepad.exe – Notepad++ cannot edit its own config.xml because even if you save it, Notepad++ overwrites config.xml when you exit Notepad++), then delete the whole <GUIConfig name=“DockingManager” …>…</GUIConfig> section, then save and exit the other editor, then relaunch Notepad++, then their search results window is able to return on their next find-all.

If you would like to share more details, please reply to this topic), and supply the details mentioned in that topic: how many monitors do you use? are one or more monitors High DPI? what were the values of the <GUIConfig name=“DockingManager” …>…</GUIConfig> section before you deleted them

@PeterJones npp.8.7.portable.x64.zip with search result window works. Maybe it’s a settings issue?

Yes, that’s why my instructions told you how to edit the settings to clear out the “old values”, and when Notepad++ resets that deleted section, it generally works again.

Also, for you (and all future readers), I have updated the Cannot find my panel FAQ to have debug/fix instructions for v8.7 Search Results panel issues

Make find dialog status messages color customizable via Style Configurator.

There are bugs with this implementation.

@donho Do you want a github issue created for this in order to give it attention?

CVE-2014-9456 is a Notepad++ issue, and it’s been fixed by commit:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/a9b5235402af6dc8e1290a29089456a3ced415bd

If you’re talking about the issue of the updater\libcurl.dll, I guess you’re meaning CVE-2024-7264, which is fixed by commit in wingup:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/wingup/commit/2ee34a8283bb3d9df811d290c67461956d49e2ca

The new version of WinGup which cotains above fix will be included in next Notepad++ release v8.7.1.

@donho Thank you. Yes. Sorry for the confusion. I meant the CVE-2024-7264 present in updater/libcurl.dll. When is it possible to get v8.7.1 released?
