Notepad++ is also crashing on my PC with the actual version, and also the last versions. I have an 32 bit PC with XP Pro.
I use the standard installation, only with an additional programming language ABAP.
I get also a dump file - does it helps you?

I'm using v5.4.5 now and I still have the issue - it crashes as soon as I try to do anything now (but it was doing this before I upgraded). I'm really thinking it has something to do with file size - is 16,000 lines too big?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Are your lines very long? I can open and work on a disassembly listing ~80,000 line long without a crash, and I have like 40 plugins installed - not all active, granted. These files have plenty of very short lines.

That's a good news Mike Boulet.
However, if you could provide more information it'll be even great to help identifying the problem :
1. What's your OS?
2. The list of your plugins in v5.4.4 (crash) and The list of your plugins in v5.4.5 (No crash)
3. What package do you use (installer or zip package)?
4. Your Notepad++ mode (ANSI or Unicode).
Thank you in advance.

I had only one lockup in two days. It wasn't related to doing a save.
I did a "find in files" across the network. Minimized NP+++, Checked email, etc, clicked on NP++ in the taskbar and nothing happened. Look in task manager, it is running 50%.
First time this has happened to me this way.

CChris - I don't think so; an average line is about 800 characters; the whole file has ~2,500,000 characters. I've just noticed that on substantially smaller files it doesn't crash as often, and it seems to crash increasingly often as I build.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I am getting the crashes, but I don't think it is due to file size, I got it 3 times within 2 hours, editing a file that is only 400 lines long. I haven't been paying close enough attention to know if this the case 100% of the time or not, but it seems to happen after I save a file.

Yes, adaykin, pleas help us to identify the plugin makes Notepad++ crash by adding back plugins one by one.
It helps not only us, but it will help you - so you won't have the same crash issue in next release.

It seems v5.4.5 is stable enough to trigger auto-updater.
If there's no more report in this thread this week, Auto-updater will be triggered by this version this weekend.

For those who have the crash issue frequently, could you download, install and test the newest version v5.4.5 ?
Any crash with v5.4.5 (and only) please report here.
(with and without default plugins)
Thank you in advance

Just reporting in on 5.4.5. No crashes yet (fingers crossed). I have tried a HUGE file (100+ lines) and didn't have any issues.
Entire day without any crashes using 5.4.5.

Don
I have not had a single crash since I loaded 5.4.5.
I will report in again tomorrow after a days worth of use.
I had only one lockup in two days. It wasn't related to doing a save.
I did a "find in files" across the network. Minimized NP+++, Checked email, etc, clicked on NP++ in the taskbar and nothing happened. Look in task manager, it is running 50%.

Mike
I'm pretty sure it's due to the bad connection or leak of resource of PC where your remote file is located.
I'll see if I can do something for it
Don

> I am getting the crashes, ... but it seems to happen after I save a file.
adaykin, could you remove *ALL* the pluins, then try again?
Don
And, after that, send NppDump.dmp to donho, if any is generated?
CChris
I have downloaded version 5.4.5 twice and both downloads have an installer error on my windows XP SP3 computer (with and without plugins included in the install). PS I removed NOTEPAD with the control panel prior to subsequent attempts and the error was the same.
Error Opening files for writing

Please disregard the prior error I somehow had notepad++ open during both the installs and the removal process that apparently had the file locked.
After removing all plugins and using notepad++ for several days now, I have not had a crash.
I am on vista 64 bit os using 5.4.5. I was having crashes previously using 5.4.5, but after I renamed the plugins directory I have not had any crashes.

Josie just gave me her Notepad++ crash configuration :
AMD Turion 64 + Windows Vista
I wonder if Notepad++ crashes only on 64 bits machine.
For those ones have problems, please post your configuration here.
