I recently upgraded to 4.9.1 from 4.8.5. I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and of course running Npp with wine. For some reason since upgrading I have a find bar below the text window and above the status bar. There is a 'X' button on the far left, but it does not close it. I have dug all through the preferences and menus and I see no way to get rid of it, or that it should even exist. Perhaps I'm missing something, but can someone tell me how to get rid of it? It also sits on top of text lines in the program so I can't see the last few lines of code. Maybe I'm missing something blatantly obvious and if so feel free to smack me lol, but I want this thing gone.
This is a shortcomming of Wine, it doesnt support Rebars well that hide bars, like the searchbar.
For some reason, the rebar doesnt report a smaller size if the band is hidden, and so itll stay visible.
It shouldnt be hiding any lines though, but still, this cannot be fixed by N++.
You can make the background atleast properly redraw if you enable the incremental search dialog (thats what it is), press Ctrl-Alt-I.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You're right it is the incremental search bar. I just hadn't used that feature yet. What's weird is if I roll back to 4.8.5 the search bar appears and disappears as would be expected. In 4.9.1 it's there as soon as I start NPP and will not go away. The first time I hit Ctrl+Alt-I it did redraw it as you said which at least did make it 'prettier' lol. But it doesn't work at any point after that.
I figured it was some issue with WINE, but there has to be some change between 4.8.5 and 4.9.1 on NPP's part because it'll go away in the older version. I'll just stick with it for now. Thanks for the help.

Here's a screenshot to really show the bar:
