Save Dialog Changes Size Depending on File Address #4734

Description of the Issue

When you click to close multiple open files the save dialog comes up for each one that has been edited. This dialog changes size depending on the length of the file location. This means that if you have a lot of tabs open and need to click "No" many times then the "No" Button will appear in different places. This is dangerous because you might accidentally click "Yes" if you are in a hurry. Ideally this dialog should always be the same size so that the "Yes" and "No" buttons are consistently in the same place. Alternatively there could be an option for "Yes to all" and "No to all"

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Open many different files in Notepad++ and change them a little bit
  2. Click on "close all" or any other option to close multiple files
  3. Save dialog appears for each file that has been modified. But location of "Yes" and "No" buttons are inconsistent. The "Yes" button sometimes appears where the "No" button was for the last file.

Expected Behavior

Ideally this dialog should always be the same size so that the "Yes" and "No" buttons are consistently in the same place. Alternatively there could be an option for "Yes to all" and "No to all"

Actual Behavior

Locations of "Yes" and "No" buttons are inconsistent. The "Yes" button sometimes appears where the "No" button was for the last file.

Go with the keyboard in this situation. Hold down "n". Each individual window that appears will get its own "No". :)

"Undo" once or twice.

Looks like this was fixed in one of the latest releases. I haven't been having this issue on any of the computers I use lately. While the suggested workaround worked, it was clearly not the best solution. Common sense has prevailed and the quality of the software is now better. Thanks.
