I have an issue with Notepad++ that makes using it a total sore.
Essentially, Notepad++ will just switch between documents WHILE I am entering text. So before I know it, I am continuing a sentence in a completely unrelated document that was also open at the same time.
I suspect it has something to do with documents being updated by Windows in the background and Notepad++ reloading them, but not sure. I may actually see a highlighted dropdown while typing that I then unententionally select but it is displayed so shortly (in between two key entries) that I cannot make out what it says. Maybe on the other hand, that dropdown is just the auto - complete, so it something else, maybe some key combination that I enter?
The only workaround is to have only one document open at a single time so there is nothing to switch to, but this is not a workable solution.
Any ideas what this can be?
PS Version: 7.4.2, Windows 32 bit on Windows 10.

1May be you're typing Ctrl + [digit] that gives focus to [digit]th tab – Toto – 2019-05-08T09:52:08.603
no, I am experiencing it now as well, I am really just entering text... e.g. the word "documentation" just made me enter "ntation" in the other document – Rusty75 – 2019-05-09T10:01:27.493
@Rusty75 – maybe you can check that File status auto-detection is set correctly in menu Settings > Preferences. – miroxlav – 2020-02-11T15:36:34.567
hi @miroxlav, thanks for the reply - it was however the touch-sensitive tracking stick in the keyboard... – Rusty75 – 2020-02-28T18:20:34.990
