BUG: Focus lost after closing of Find dialog

Yes I saw the same thing on ver 4.0.2. Is this a FEATURE?
Apparently course would be lost after any pop up dialog.
This is a behavior I am not used to.

I have also noticed this problem on ver 4.02/xp. You have to use mouse click to get the cursor back otherwise no editing is possible.

I also just tried ver 3.9, there is no problem on that version.

Good idea to stay away from ver 4.02 I guess.

This seems fine in v4.0.2 on Win2000 ?
^F.Esc, and cursor is right where I left it, ready to type.
^F.exc on a work, and the word highlights, and primes the search,
and then esc [type], replaces the selected word.
I'd call that normal ?

Does anybody try to run Notepad++ without plugins? Maybe the bug is caused by some plugin, can you check it?

I tryied run Notepad++ without plugins.
It doesn't solve the problem.

Same problem here for 4.0.2 on XP SP2. I don't use any plugins.

I had to go back to 4.0.1.

Greetings,
Demetris

Please, send your "config.xml" (a file with Notepad++'s options) to me. I can't reproduce this bug.

Thanks!

I still do not have such bug under Windows 2000, even with your "config.xml". I'll try it later with XP or maybe Jens could check it.

I have same problem with 4.02.
Didn't have the problem on 3.9

I also use WinXP SP-2 - just standard setup. Perhaps it could be leftovers from a 3.9 install even though I uninstalled ..

It's not leftovers from 3.9 - I cleaned everything up (program files & registry) and did a clean install, and still had the problem.

I have this bug too, here is my config.xml (removed the history part):
Running Windows XP Service Pack 2 with all the latest Microsoft Updates, Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media Player 11.

I had this bug in 4.02, also. Reverted to 4.01 and all's well.
