    Hello,

    I think I've stumbled onto a bug in the Hex Editor plugin. Take the following steps to reproduce the problem:

       1. Open a brand-new Notepad++ instance. Ensure that there is only one active document open. You should see only 1 tab labeled "new <N>".

       2. Switch to the Hex Editor plug in by selecting the menu item Plugins => HEX-Editor => View in Hex

       3. Click on the x icon to close the current document. Note this is the icon for the active document, not the window.

       4. Nothing happens, and nothing should happen. There must always be at least one active document open in the Notepad++ view.

       5. Now try to exit the application by clicking on the close icon in the upper right hand corner.

       6. An unhandled application exception is generated. In Windows, users are prompted to debug the application.

    This is admittedly a convoluted and harmless glitch, but a bug nonetheless.

    Keep up the good work! Notepad++ is the best text editor out there, hands down.

    -Mike

      Does this also happen when your document isn't empty anymore, that is when you put some Hex characters before clicking on the magic (su)x area?
