    Hi

    I'm using Notepad++ 4.2.2. Unfortunately this version crashes very often. Sometimes it seems that if a dialogbox like "...Keep this file in editor?" is open for a long time when Notepad++ is not active, Notepad++ crashes when it becomes active and I click on the dialogbox.

    It seems to have a connection with the FunctionList plugin. I think this only happens the function list is active.

      Hi,

      I have the same problem with 4.2.2: when I just type CTRL-C inside Notepad++, it crashes.

      I solve it with just a new fresh installation, after uninstalling and deleting %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++ and %AppData%\Notepad++. I only keep my own .api and my userDefineLang.xml files.

      Maybe it was an old plugin which I do not miss yet :-)

      Regards,
      Diego.

        It seems that again it's due to plugins : 
        Try to remove Function List, Hex Editor plugin and Explorer plugin then see if Notepad++ crashes again. 
        If the crash comes from one (or 3) of 3 plugins, please report here their version.

          Can we have a safe-mode command-line option and create a shortcut to it so we can load notepad++ with no plugins to see what the real problem is? I hate to go to the plugin directory and delete the files everytime something screws up.

      Which version of Function List do you use (Menu : Plugins -> Function List -> Help) ?

      Could you go to inside of "plugins" directory (which is located in Notepad++ installed directory), rename "FunctionList.dll" to "FunctionList.dll.bak", then relaunch Notepad++ to see if the crash happens again?

      I'm using version 1.2. I'll rename it and try to make it crash.

        Good.
        Please let me know the result.

        If there're some other crash regarding v4.2.2, please post here.

      Hi

      I have run without the Function list plugin for about a week. It still crashes but not so often. It usually still happens when Notepad++ is in not active for a while.

        could you do a list of plugins you have?

        Has anyone the crash problem?

          Hi Don,

          in my case notepad++ crashes when I open the function list and an undefined file (no function list rules) is open and active.

          My system:  Windows XP SP2
          Plugins:    TextFX, Compare, Crypt, ConvertExt, Explorer, FunctionList, Hex-Editor, Light Explorer, NppExec, Highlight File, Multi-Clipboard, QuickText, Search in Files, Spell-Checker

            I suppose that you use v4.2.2?
            What is your Function List version?

                Apparently Function List v2.0 Alpha is not yest stable.
                Use v1.2 which come with Notepad++ v4.2.2 instead.
