Notepad++ new release 6.8.2 (Updated)

[VinsWorldcom]

I just hit a but on 6.8.2. I tried to open the XML files from the Notepad++ directory:

C:> notepad++ \usr\bin\npp*.xml

ACCESS VIOLATION!

The above command works fine in 6.8.1.

@VinsWorldcom Thank you for the bug report.
I fixed the crash and you can open files with wild card via line command.
Could you test the following binary and confirm me the bug is fixed?

BINGO! I used the provided EXE by just replacing my current notepad++.exe. The command I used above now works fine. THANKS!

Just updated to 6.8.2 and when I exit, the window stays on the screen, though the program is actually closed. If I move another window over the image, the image is “erased”.

@Darrel-Boyt It’s fixed here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/temp/npp.deadLockFixed.zip

Could you test it and confirm me if this bug is fixed in the binary mentioned above?

[Darrel Boyt]

@donho I’d love to, but the policies corporate put in place won’t let me. Every time there’s a new release, I have to send a request up to corporate to unblock it. I’ll try it on my home computer and let you know.

I see the same issue as Darrel Boyt above - v 6.8.2 - when I exit, the window stays on the screen, though the program is actually closed. I tried the update from donho (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/temp/npp.deadLockFixed.zip) but the ghost image issue still exists.

Thank you for testing @nemgh .

I redo a fix here:

Please try it and let me know the result.

Hi.
Always wondered why installer won’t remember the “don’t use %appData%” setting…

Thanks @donho … the https://notepad-plus-plus.org/temp/npp_deadLockFix2.zip update resolved the ghost image issue.

Hi, 3 year later and this hasn’t been fixed…

The developer only pays attention to any given “new release” thread in the Community Forums for a short while – and especially once he’s moved on to a newer version, he won’t be paying attention to the thread for an older version.

If you want better tracking, follow this FAQ to the Notepad++ Issues tracker on GitHub. You will want to search the existing issues (both open and closed) to make sure you aren’t repeating someone else’s request (I’ve seen this request multiple times).

Even posting the request there, there is no guarantee that it will be implemented to your liking: he may choose to not implement any given feature request, and might not always close issues he’s privately rejected.
