#482 Fix for bugs #2441, #2585, #2889 and #3396 (Aero-snapped window restoring to normal size when opening another file)

[Ede_123]

This patch solves the bug reported in [#2441], [#2585], [#2889] and [#3396] (when using Aero-snap the Aero-snapped window restores to it's initial position as soon as another file is opened).

Actually this patch is the same as [patches:#436] which you initially closed in error and probably forgot to reopen so you might not receive any notifications about it anymore (which is why I created a new patch).
This patch was confirmed working independently by two people in [#3396] whom I provided a patched build of Notepad++ 6.3.3 as well as Pekka Pöyry in the old patch artifact in the meantime, so I think we can rule out an error on my side.
Personally I'm using this patch for over half a year now and I applied it to every version of Notepad++ since 6.2.2 without noticing any problem so far.

Working well on Windows 7 x64. No problems or other side-effects so far and it fixed my one major annoyance with NP++.

Installed this patch on 26th May 2013. It both fixes the problem and hasn't cause any other problems. Windows 7 x64, v6.3.3.

I tried it again.
This patch seems work for everyone, except me.

It's not possible to me to include a "fix" which fixes nothing to me. Sorry for that.

Sorry Don, I'm still afraid you're using this patch wrong, therefore you think it does not work for you.

This patch does not work if it is in a debug build of yours!
This patch does work if is in the Notepad++ executable that is associated to the various file extensions in your system or the context menu.

Therefore you must place the patched executable in the folder where you installed Notepadd++ via the installer (therefore typically "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe")

Please try this! It works and it will make a lot of people (including me ;) ) very happy. I'm tired of maintaining my own build just for such a trivial fix.

I did all you described (including bulding the release binary and copying into its installed dir) under my windows 7 64 bits laptop, your patch does not work at all.

I now do the same on my Windows 8 32 bits machine, your patch works.

Doesn't this patch work on Windows 7 or it's my windows 7's problem?

I use this patch on Windows 7 Professional (x64), so no, it should work on Windows 7, too.

Is it a caching issue (e.g. old executable in memory)? Or is there something in your Windows 7's "Virtual Store" shadowing the correct executable?

[Ian Channing]

I'm also using this patch on Windows 7 Professional (x64) and its been working fine.

[Don HO]

I did some tests under xp and windows 8 - it seems no regression to me.
Committed in SVN (rev. 1099) and il will be in the next version.

Thank you for your fix (and your insistence :) ).

Great! Finally the change made it into SVN.

Thank you Don.
