I just upgraded my system at work and am now running Vista, where I've encountered a few issues regarding permissions when I'm logged in under my domain account, but nothing really worth bothering anyone with yet.
However... unrelated to permissions -
When I do a search, then click the top of the results window to move it, every time I get "SetWindowsHookEx(KEYBOARD) failed" and I have trouble clicking on anything until I can end the Notepad++ process. How can I help fix this bug?
Addendum: An alert sometimes appears that says
GetLastError() Returned 1428
1428: Cannot set nonlocal hook without a module handle. ERROR_HOOK_NEEDS_HMOD
If you feel like debugging it (I don't have time at the moment)... Without looking at the code, I'd say that Npp wants to set a local hook with SetWindowsHookEx, and gives NULL for the module handle (as it should). However, the first argument (dwThreadId) in that case should be set to a local thread ID (probably GetCurrentThreadId()), but it gets screwed in the process (probably NULL somehow).

Thank you for the psychic debugging, the bug should be fixed now.

Just tested, the solution provided above doesn't work at all.
