      Directly after updating to 6.8.3, the cursor would always jump to the top of a file when switching between editor tabs. Restarting Notepad++ did not help.
      I had many files open, most of them new files without a filename. Closing all editor windows (and saving all the new files to be kept) and then restarting Notepad++ did help. Now the cursor does not jump to top anymore.
      Oh, and I really like the feature that new files need not be saved between editor restarts! I often use them as scratch pads, without the intention to ever give them a filename.

        I believe it’s a plugin issue. If it happens again, please let us know.

          After updating to 6.8.3, the font suddenly looks ugly as shown in this picture, seems like some kind of monospace font.
          I have been using “Vibrant Ink” theme.
          Only standard plugin (out-of-the-box) is installed.

              After the update my theme ‘Bespin’ has the same issue as @Nugraha-Toriq mentioned. The font, no matter what I choose, looks ugly and has nothing to do with the formatting of Courier New, also changing the font size makes no difference.

                Hello,

                Problems observed on windows XP with Notepad++ 6.8.3 and with Hex-Editor plugin :

                (The 3 cases described below are systematic with my configuration)

                1. Win32Exception

                  Way to reproduce :

                  • Run Notepad++

                  • Click on new
                    => a “new 1” tab is created

                  • Write a text (notepad++ for example)

                  • Select view in HEX

                  • Select the text in Dump column

                  • Type ctrl+C to copy the selection

                  • click on new

                    => Win32Exception
                    An exception occured, Notepad++ cannot recover and must be shut down
                    The exception details are as follows:
                    Code: 0xC0000005
                    Type: Access violation
                    Exception address: 0xFFFFFFFF

                    => Notepad++ crash analysis with dump file NppDump.dmp generated

                2. Error HexEditor.dll

                  This problem occurs when %APPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins directory does not exist (It happens with a new user)

                  Way to reproduce :

                  • Rename %APPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins directory

                  • Run Notepad++

                  • Notepad++ windows does not start (notepad++ process is running)

                  • Wait more than 1 minute

                    => C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\HexEditor.dll
                    Failed to load
                    This plugin is not compatible with current version of Notepad++.
                    Do you want to remove this plugin from plugins directory to prevent this message from the next lauch time?

                    => Click yes

                      => Exception On WM_CREATE
                         Unknown exception
                    

                  The problem is solved creating an empty plugins directory in %APPDATA%\Notepad++.

                3. 2 “new 1” tabs (minor)

                  Way to reproduce :

                  • Run Notepad++

                  • Click on new
                    => a “new 1” tab is created

                  • Select View in HEX

                  • click on new
                    => another “new 1” tab is created

                Regards

                  Regression bug
                  With the new install 6.8.3, I cannot drag and drop files to Notepad++. The icon with interdiction sign appears and files are not imported. I need to double click them or open them with Notepad++ on the context menu.
                  I am using Windows 7.

                      I found a solution. To drop files onto it, make sure it’s not running in Administrator mode (If the check box is unchecked, check and uncheck it again and save).

                        I use the Vibrant Ink “theme” when editing TCL scripts.
                        Using the Style Configurator, when I change Language: TCL STRING to pink, all the ‘{}’, ‘[]’ and conditional operators turn pink… judging by the list of Style: types offered for TCL configuration, there is something really hosed up 8( since the list is the same for C, C++, Java, C# RC and TCL.
