When the drive on which the file/current tab being edited becomes full:

  • All of the contents of the current tab are DELETED regardless of the fact that the file has already been saved on the disk
  • The file is ZEROED removing all data from the file.
  • No effort is made to retain a ~4KB text file from RAM in spite of there being ~20GB+ available.
  • AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\backup does not provide any means of recovery.
  • Using the undo function did not help recover the data.
  • I believe I was asked to reload the file and pressed a corresponding key before I realized the prompt had opened.

This is a massive total failure that just wiped out several hours of my work this morning! Granted it's easy code to rewrite though that is beside the point. The file is literally necessary for a paid project that will allow me to replace some low capacity drives.

I think it may have been a download that filled the disk though I'm not sure exactly as I'd imagine most programs check for available drive space first.
