There's a possible bug in the project manager panel on Windows XP (I'm not sure if it's a bug in Notepad++ or if it's a Windows issue, though).
To reproduce:
* Open the project panel
* With Notepad++ on the screen go to Start > Close session > Change user
* When you log back into your session the project panel in Notepad++ will have some rendering glitches (image attached)

I loaded ver. 5.9.6.2 on a Toshiba notebook with Win 7 x64 with all updates. After loading it, windows explorer had problems and would quit responding and require it to be killed so it would respawn. This effected open explorer windows of folders and clicking on the windows orb to attempt starting a program. Nothing would start and I couldn't even shutdown. I have process explorer as my task manager so I was able to hit ctrl-alt-del, select taskmanager and shutdown from it. I eventually had to restore to a previous point to get the explorer problem cleared up.
I have a previous version (earlier 5.9? but not sure which) on a HP win7 x64 system and it is fine.
Anyone else experience this problem?
Thanks, Flash

Update to post #5 - previous version is 5.9.0.0 according to the details tab of properties on the executable. It works fine on my HP Win 7 x64 system. Have not tried it on the notebook yet.

If you are having problems with right click (with windows explorer crashing or blocking), there is a simple work around.
This registry key is causing Windows explorer crashes:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
"Title"="Edit with &Notepad++"
"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe"
"Custom"=""
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
"Dynamic"=dword:00000001
"Maxtext"=dword:00000019
If ShowIcon is set to 1 (which is what happens after installation), WE will crash every time that context menu contains "Edit with Notepad++" entry. If I manually change this value to 0, right click starts working normally.
Just make this little adaptation and your right-click will function normally (minus the icon, but that is a small price to pay)

Problem with this bug is that I cannot find a way to reproduce it outside my work machine (Vista enterprise, sp2). I tried to instal Vista on the same laptop (in VM) and even with Norton antivirus added, Notepad++ works just fine. So, it must be a collision with a ton of corporate crapware that is part of default install on my work PC.
I'll spend some time on this problem as soon as I finish my work on UDL module.

I made the change suggested and it seemed to cure the problem. The registry key was different. It was:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B298D29A-A6ED-11DE-BA8C-A68E55D89593}\Settings
But after I found it and changed the ShowIcon value to zero (0) my system appears to be fine. Thanks for the help.

I thought it might have been a different path on your machine.
Anyway, I'm glad it worked. It took me almost a week to discover that workaround, and I am glad to share that tip.
I'd love to find the root cause. So that this ugly bug if fixed once and for all.

Found a bug with the compare plugin - "Compare with last save" (Default shortcut: Alt-s) causes Notepad++ to crash as it is attempting to open the "other" view.
This may be a plugin-specific issue, but wanted to note it here.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1. Start NP++
2. Open any two documents, say file A.txt and B.txt
3. Drag tab header A.txt to the right of the NP++ window, select "Move to other view"
4. You will have A.txt and B.txt side by side in two panes
5. Press Ctrl+N: This gives A.txt on the left pane, B.txt and "New" on the right pane
6. Drag tab header B.txt to left pane
7.Drag tab header B.txt back to the right pane
Expected: A.txt on the left pane, B.txt and New on the right pane
Actual: A.txt on the left pane, B.txt on the right pane. New disappeared.
Thanks

I have suddenly run into an issue with opening multiple files. Notepad++ is not allowing me to open more than one file at a time. If I open a second file, it closes the first one. If I select multiple files to open, it appears to try to open each one, but at the end, only the last one is open. Has anyone else seen this? It is infuriating! Everything else is functioning fine. I have rebooted, uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed, rebooted… I have gone through all the preferences multiple times… No matter how I open a file - context menu, open menu, one file at a time, multiple files at a time… I can only have one file open. When I view the list of open files - either through the Window menu or the document switcher - it only shows the one file being open, so it's not a hidden tab issue.

Thanks jibarre… I actually ended up deleting all notepad++ related registry entries, leftover folders and files, rebooting, and reinstalling, and now it's working fine. I had been installing it without the built-in plugins, so I didn't think that could be an issue, but if previous installations had plugins and the system was hanging onto those files/settings, maybe they were still there.

I really appreciate I can use it.
I found two bugs so far anyway.
Whenever I use column / Multi-Selection Editor with special characters like dots, notepad++ always crashes.
and I cannot open files with Korean characters in nppFTP.
Can you fix the bugs?
Thank you.

Can you make converter plugin dockable like incremental search, and it should show different values for single selected character. This will make work of find characters in range more useful. As find characters in range will search characters and converter will show its corresponding values.

I have loaded with Vista (any orevious version of notepad++ installed). When I right click a file in windows explorer restarts.
I unistalled it but restart persists for .exe and .lnk
Very similar (if not identical) to what reported some time ago here(http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/forums/forum/331753/topic/3447251?message=7744713). I have reinstalled notepad++, then I have disabled the context menu for notepad++. I ahve solved the problem on .exe and .lnk, still present, reinstalling winrar.

It looks similare to mine. Based on http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/forums/forum/331753/topic/3447251?message=7744713 I have used I used program ShellExView to disable Notepad++ right click menu item prevents crushing of Windows explorer on all files.
Update to post #5 - previous version is 5.9.0.0 according to the details tab of properties on the executable. It works fine on my HP Win 7 x64 system. Have not tried it on the notebook yet.
