Try to copy some text from Windows wordpad (richedit) and paste it into notepad++
Some garbage will be added at the end of pasted text
Old versions didn't seem to exhibit this behaviour

Yes, I've got the same problem with v5.0.3. I'm running Vista Business. When I paste text into Notepad++ there's a bunch of trailing NUL characters with other ASCII chars in between. Thought I was going crazy.

This a nice release, I especially love the 'mark all' feature.
I found a tiny freeze-bug, though.
If you have two files open, one a large file with many lines (like a Windows header file) and another tiny file (just a simple text file with a few lines), then switch from the small file tab to the large file tab, the whole program freezes for a few seconds.
It does this every time you switch back to the large file. It eventually unfreezes each time, but I was wondering what makes it freeze like this? This bug didn't exist in the 4.8 release (as far as I can remember).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm not sure, but I just noticed that it freezes for a few seconds when your close the Notepad++ window with a large file in the active tab. There are no changes to the file, I just opened it for viewing.
It's odd behavior for sure.

Awesome release, Don. (hands Don a cup/glas of his favorite drink) :)
The freezing bug when opening files containing clickable links was also fixed. However I have a small complaint regarding the clickable link detection. Notepad++ currently doesn't support any FTP links, and URLs without the leading "http://" aren't recogniced (e.g. www.notepad++.com). Often many links aren't detected until edited, then after undoing the editing of such links the (correct) link detection prevails.
Also I witnessed that Notepad++ starts acting wierd when editing a clickable link. For example when pressing the ENTER key somewhere inside a link to move its remainder to the next line, the current font for several detected links in a document gets changed and remains like this until Notepad++ is restarted. Also sometimes during link editing the underlinings are permanently extended to the left beyond the valid URLs. Aforementioned issues seem to be connected to the fact that Notepad++ doesn't scan through an entire document for clickable links but only in the user visual range (i.e. what you currently see on the monitor).
Hopefully you are able to reproduce the described problems and to improve the situation. I'm glad if I can assist you in any way with that, however I'm afraid I'm not a programmer.
Thank you and wishing you all the best.

Heh, the forum software autocompleted the example URL i have given in my previous post adding a leading "http://", rendering that part of my post quite senseless now.
So here goes again: URLs without a leading "http://" currently aren't recogniced, e.g. "www dot notepad dot com". (hopefully that works out after clicking the post button) ;)

I confirm that.
Due to the performance issue, Notepad++ parses once by using RE "http://[a-z0-9_\\-\\+.:?&@=/%#]*" to support only "http://" as clickable link.
If you have better RE (conform to Scintilla's one) which can support "ftp://", "https://" etc, please let me know.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Something about the mark all function:
When you checked the "Mark line", "Style found token" & "Purge for each search" options, and use the Ctrl+M to mark words, everything is fine, but using Ctrl+Shift+M (Unmark All), the bookmark icons are not cleared. But it works fine in 4.8.2. Any reasons on changing this behavior, or it just a bug?

I really appreciate your work and actually Notepad++ has become my favorite editor for LaTeX.
Unfortunately, I am still missing a tiny but important feature:
There is no "CURRENT_LINE" environment variable so that it is not possible to use the dvi-previewer's (e.g., yap) forward search function.
However, this feature is most valuable to LaTeX users.
See thread "Line number: Notepad++ and LaTeX" in the "Open Discussion" forum for more details.
It would be really nice to have that feature.
Best regards and thanks in advance, JTM.

They are implemented, please let me know where I should send the binary to test.

It's fine release, Thanks!! I use npp every day, this is the better editor :), I like that
I think, visual effect of Mark it too light (on my monitor), I changed this color to black, but it's again too transparency.
The old behavior of Mark was very nice, because the marked words are always emphasized, and I could mark more words (expressions). I would like old mark also, by any chance more colors. I think it was very useful.

How about adding optional support for additional link detection then?
E.g.:
- Ability to turn off the title bar when not in Full Screen - so more screen estate is available
- An indicator that the file has been changed when the tab bar is hidden
- Option for php files to also select the $ for the variables. Right now double clicking on the variable name selects the name without the $ prefix.
- In inline search - when it comes up would be great if the text is selected. Also, if it responded to F3, right now responds only to Enter for Next match.
- Ability to disable/hide the Folder margin.
- An example of a plugin included with the distribution and compilation instructions to increase plugin development for NPP

If you open some text file, select some text FROM RIGHT TO LEFT (so that charet stays to the left of the selection) and cut it, then charet gets moved back by an number of characters you have just cut.
It's very annoying, could someone reproduce and confirm the bug?

Yes, I've got the same problem with v5.0.3. I'm running Vista Business. When I paste text into Notepad++ there's a bunch of trailing NUL characters with other ASCII chars in between. Thought I was going crazy.
Yeah, I've noticed the same stuff, lots of [NULL]s are pasted. That's clearly a regression.
I have this problem with version 4.9.2 when i copy/paste from Frontpage 2003 or Microsoft Expression Web on Win XP SP2
This a nice release, I especially love the 'mark all' feature.
I found a tiny freeze-bug, though.
If you have two files open, one a large file with many lines (like a Windows header file) and another tiny file (just a simple text file with a few lines), then switch from the small file tab to the large file tab, the whole program freezes for a few seconds.
It does this every time you switch back to the large file. It eventually unfreezes each time, but I was wondering what makes it freeze like this? This bug didn't exist in the 4.8 release (as far as I can remember).
Perhaps horizontal scroll bar length recalculation?
I'm not sure, but I just noticed that it freezes for a few seconds when your close the Notepad++ window with a large file in the active tab. There are no changes to the file, I just opened it for viewing.
It's odd behavior for sure.
See if disabling the smart highlighting alleviates the problem. It may be Notepad++ searching for every instance of the selected word.
Nope, with smart highlighting disabled, both cases of the freeze-bug still exist.
Awesome release, Don. (hands Don a cup/glas of his favorite drink) :)
The freezing bug when opening files containing clickable links was also fixed. However I have a small complaint regarding the clickable link detection.

I don't think so. Could you provide a link to the thread (or message) instead of describing which one it was?

How about adding optional support for additional link detection then?
E.g.:
Clickable link setting:
( ) Enable
( ) Don't underline links
( ) Scan entire document for links
Use additional detection strings:
(Warning: This can noticeably decrease performance of Notepad++)
( ) https://
( ) ftp://
( ) Scan for partial URLs (www(dot)example(dot)com)
Oh, and please could you add the '~' (Tilde) character to the RE string too?
Example: "http://[a-z0-9_\\-\\+.:?&@=/%#~]*"
Thank you for consideration, Don.

Great release,
Couple of ideas for future releases:
- Ability to turn off the title bar when not in Full Screen - so more screen estate is available
- An indicator that the file has been changed when the tab bar is hidden
- Option for php files to also select the $ for the variables. Right now double clicking on the variable name selects the name without the $ prefix.
- In inline search - when it comes up would be great if the text is selected. Also, if it responded to F3, right now responds only to Enter for Next match.
- Ability to disable/hide the Folder margin.
- An example of a plugin included with the distribution and compilation instructions to increase plugin development for NPP
I've found a bug in a latest release.
If you open some text file, select some text FROM RIGHT TO LEFT (so that charet stays to the left of the selection) and cut it, then charet gets moved back by an number of characters you have just cut.
It's very annoying, could someone reproduce and confirm the bug?
yea! Places Bar added! Been waiting for this. Thanks Don,
BTW, notepad++ has been voted #1 for top five editors! http://lifehacker.com/385929/best-text-editors
Keep up the great work!
