    Hello,

    I just installed using the 4.9.2 installer overwriting my previous install.  When I click on help->about it says I am using 4.9.2

    Anyways, the Drag n Drop (Dnd) bug is still existent for me. I am using Vista 64-bit, 4 GB RAM.  I am using full aero interface, with Ati Radeon 2400.  I don't know what else is important to be included for help bug-tracking.. I think this is not relevant but I also have OpenAFS + Kerberos installed, with VirtuaWin and UltraMon.  Am also running XManager from NetSarang.

    Thanks for the work on this program ; it is my favorite text non-IDE development tool!!

      Hi,

      The description: dragging a file from Windows Explorer into the NPP text window.

      Actually, Harry, you are right: after I right-clicked NPP.exe.ink -> properties -> change permissions for myself (turn on Full control, Read/Write, Modify, etc), I was able to Drag and Drop into NPP from Windows explorer.

      Thanks to both of you for your quick response.

      Off-topic:  Is it possible to get a fix on the parentheses bug ?  When using Verilog, the comment fonts are Comic Sans MS with font size 8, which look great.  But when the cursor is exactly 1 space to the right of a square bracket (and so the bracket is highlighted), the cursor still looks to the *left* of the square bracket.

      Pic 1: cursor directly to left of square bracket

      Remember: Vista doesn't allow drag and drop if the application is running with lesser privileges than the drag source.
      If you can, try running Notepad++ with the highest privileges available (if it doesn't have them already).
      I'm no expert with that stuff so I have no idea how to do all that, if at all possible :).

      Or see if you can drag something from another application other than explorer, some archive application like WinZIP or WinRAR
