I wonder if this is the right place for bug reports. I'm using 4.6.
Open Notepad++, open a text file. Then hit the 'New' toolbar to open a new tab. Type something in this new page. Click on its tab's close button to close it, Notepad++ will open a dialogue box asking whether you want to save the file or not. Don't press any buttons on this box, instead switch to some other editor and change the contents of the text file you loaded in the beginning, and save. Switch back to Notepad++, it will open a new dialogue box (on top of the one already open), asking if you want the modified file to be updated. Choose 'Yes', it subsequently updates the file and switches to it. At this stage we still have the 'Do you want to save' dialogue box open. Choose 'No'. Notepad++ will close the text file by mistake.
I think this bug is because When Notepad++ gets a response from the 'Do you want to save' dialogue box, it assumes that it has to close the active tab. This assumption is correct most of the times, since you can't change tabs while the dialogue box is displayed. But if you follow the steps above, this logic breaks.

It's OK to report this here. But it would have been nice if you included something of a description in the title of your message.
