      Hi Don!
      I've got a problem with the new 5.0.1 version: I was just programming some PHP code, setting the cursor into a word and when I started typing, Notepad++ crashed with the typical Windows "attention" sound. I tried to re-open it again (my session was still loaded, everything fine), but when I tried to set the cursor and hit a key, it crashed again. I waited a few minutes (just as long as it took me typing this bug report) and now it works again, doesn't crash anymore. I think it has to do with auto-completion, but it only appears when setting the cursor into one special word, it's the word "home_boxes" in the following line:

      echo "<div class=\"home_boxes\">";

      I just installed v5.0.1, Notepad++ never crashed before...

        No auto completion here but I can confirm I've had this happen three times today at random times.

            I'm using Notepad++ with Windows XP SP3.
            I was just typing some code into a php file (please see example line above) and setting the cursor into the text line - Notepad++ then crashed. I tried to re-open it and it crashed again, whenever I tried to set the cursor and started to type. After a while of waiting (Notepad++ still closed) it seemed to work again, no crash anymore. However, after a short while it crashed again. I've installed v5.0 now to be able to work with the program.

            Thanks for your help!

              Could you send your php file to
              d o n . h @ f r e e . f r
              so that I can reproduce the crash?

              Thank you.

      >4. Fix Notepad++ launch problem under WINE.

      Saw that last night after installing Ubuntu Studio on my sandbox PC.  Hooray!  That puts me one step closer to switching my work pc to Linux.  Good on ya.

      Text / caret disappears after "save as".

      0. new, clean file
      1. make program window smaller, so that text wraps.
      2. set wrap text on
      3. write a few paragraphs, doesn't have to be too many. Two is enough. At least one of them, preferably last one, should be longer than 1 line.
      4. save the file (save as), any filename.
      5. notice that some text (all after first line of the second paragraph?) disappeared. When you click mouse there, caret disappears too.

      I just tried installing v5.0.1 in XP and it doesn't launch. Double-clicking the program appears to do something as the top window loses focus as if a new window is being created but it doesn't. Task manager shows nothing. I tried both the installer and the zip. Installing v4.9.2 did work, however.
