I just tried to open a file that had 1 line that was 24K long. The file was mootools.js.
NP++ crashed. I've seen in other posts where there is a 4K line length limit. Is this true? Is there any way to fix/change that? It would be nice if an error message came up that stated that the maximum line length had been exceeded instead of just crashing.

You're right, of course. I apologize.
Your version of the file worked just fine. I'll look into it further and try and find out why the difference in files.
Again, humblest apologies.

After uninstalling NP++ in April, I just thought I'd check it out again. Ooooooo. 5.0.2!
Installed and gave it the ol' line-length test on mootools.js. Immediate crash. The first and only file I opened with NP++ 5.0.2. Uninstalled immediately.
Ya know, I've never bad-mouthed open source stuff because the authors usually put their heart and soul into it and the programs are great. And besides, who am I? I didn't put any effort into it and I'm using it free of charge. But this behavior really sucks. Big time.

Just saying "it sucks" does not help us, neither for the community.
If you really want to help us, download the zipped release, test it, and let us know if it crashes again.

Start->Programs->Notepad++->Uninstall
Sigh.
Right click->Open with jEdit
Heavy sigh.
I just discovered this in 4.9.5 and 5.0 beta. The limit is actually 64MB (65536 bytes). I'm amazed.
Also, once I added more than that limit, the characters started printing on top of each other.
I had to open MS Notepad (!!!) and chop up the line.
Is there any plan to fix this? It seems ludicrous that an app is brought to its knees because it's fed just 64MB of data....
Correction - I meant 64KB.

Tested under v5.0.2 with the mootools-1.2-core-yc.js :
http://mootools.net/downloads/mootools-1.2-core-yc.js
Work great for me.

If you really want to help us, download the zipped release, test it, and let us know if it crashes again.
