    Several times I've used Find/Replace to make changes in my file, then tried to open the file outside of NotePad++ and it was empty.  The file was still displayed correctly in Notepad++ (I hadn't closed it), so I had to make a change and resave it to get the file back.

    Is this a known bug?  I didn't see it in the bug tracker.

      I can't reproduce this error.

      I changed a file and saved it.
      Then I could open the file with several other editors.

      Heinz.

      Did you save the files after changing? The Find/Replace Dialog doesn't do this for you.

      Yes I saved the file.  Everything looked fine in Notepad++, but the file was empty.
