8.4.3 Regression: Find in files search results loses functionality after first search

[Wedge009]

Greetings, I tried searching for an existing issue but they appear irrelevant as 8.4.3 was only just released. I confirmed the issue was not present in 8.4.2.

Description of the Issue

When using Find in files I can double-click lines in the search results to open the file where the search key was found. However, subsequent searches after the first one loses this functionality, among other things like collapsible results, and everything is rendered in plain-text.

This seems to be specific to the 'Find in files' feature, regular find is not affected. I'm not sure if it's related to the change mentioned in https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/78110.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Find in files (Ctrl+Shift+F)
2. Run a search, preferably one that produces a result. This first search functions normally.
3. Run subsequent searches and observe the results printed in plain-text.

Expected Behaviour

Same behaviour as for the first search and as exhibited in 8.4.2 and earlier.

Actual Behaviour

As above: search results are rendered in plain-text and usual functionality is lost.

I think you mean 8.4.3 and 8.4.2?

[Wedge009]

Thank you, yes.

Just finished a long work day...

Edit: Speaking of which, I thought I had replicated on more than one machine but apparently not. I've updated the original report accordingly. Maybe it's an issue that's specific to Windows 7. Is Windows 7 still supported?

[Wedge009]

Okay, this is getting weird. I replicated it on Windows 10 as well. Maybe I had done something else to get it working properly but a fresh Notepad++ session should exhibit the regression.

Sounds a lot like #11883

This development build may work better: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/donho/notepad-plus-plus/builds/44124788/job/99g24uejgy2yp7hj/artifacts

[Wedge009]

Yes, that looks like it. If it'll be resolved in 8.4.4 I can wait for its release, and happy for this to be closed in that case.

@Wedge009 You can try portable and .exe from above link to confirm that it was fixed (instruction).
