Hello,
First of all I would like to say THANK YOU for the great product. I use it for a long time and enjoy it. Yesterday I've upgraded to the version 4.0.2 (because of close button directly on tabs).
OK, now let me place a spoon of tar into your honey-barrel. I've found a bug.
1 - Run Notepad++
2 - Maximize the window
3 - Type anything
4 - Switch to another window, (VC in my case) using ALT+TAB and copy some text from there.
5 - Switch back to N++ using ALT+TAB.
6 - The edit control will loose focus and it will be impossible to type anything until I click inside the edit control using mouse.
I use WinXP Pro Eng SP2.
Thank you!
v4.0.2 works fine in this context, on Win2000.
No focus problem, can type/Alt-Tab//Alt-Tab/type/Alt-Tab...
etc forever... (typed this doing just that)
Also had this focus problem when ALT-TABing or after Find dialog with v4.0.2 on XP sp2. Installed v4.0.1 instead - focus works fine.
I've got this same experience and the temporary solution is downgrade to version 4.0.1.
v4.0.2 definitely has issues ALT+TABing between applications on Windows XP SP2 (at least).
Run NP++ v4.0.2, ALT+TAB to another application then ALT+TAB back and the text cursor no longer has focus in the NP++ edit window - you have to click in the edit area before you can start typing again.
v4.0.1 does not exhibit this behaviour and works as you'd expect.
I have the same problem, also when exiting from the find dialog.
I've delete the explorer.dll from plugins/ and the bug is going away...
maybe here is a problem?
greets from germany - BTW: nice editor!
Confirmation. The explorer.dll cause such problem.

It's due to Explorer plugin - just remove explorer.dll will solve your problem.
