Open saturdaywalkers opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Description of the Issue

Hangs on opening

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Start notepad++

Expected Behavior

open as usual

Actual Behavior

hung, white screen, but name of a "webDAV" folder file was on the window

  • closed notepad++ and repeated several times - still hung
  • on webserver, deleted the .DAV folder - still hung
  • on PC, navigated to the file in windows explorer and opened it - worked fine - notepad++ still hung
  • opened from cmd.exe with -noPlugin => still hung
  • opened with -nosession => opened OK
  • did 'open folder as workspace' and selected the webdav parent folder => hung again => will try rebooting PC and trying again => even if a windows issue, notepad++ should time out after (say) 30 secs => after (say) 3 hangs in a row, do -noplugin -nosession

In the time it took to open the issue, notepad++ eventually opened the webdav folder (which was already open in windows explorer). The actual file it appeared to hang on opened normally. Closed and re-opened notepad++, it hung again. After maybe 5 mins it opened OK I'll try rebooting

Rebooting seems to have cleared the problem. I'll wait a bit to see if it happens again, then close

Upgraded to 8.4.8. Hung on starting. After several mins, worked normally.

Still an issue with v8.5.3. Reboot Win11 PC | Folder As Workspace | select folder, click Win 11 password prompt | Notepad freezes for several mins, then is fine

Still an issues in v8.5.4

The "hang" is caused by 'open folder as workspace' doing a recursive (HTTP) "PROPFIND" on every folder and file, and if there are lots, it takes a while. This causes notepad++ to hang until the find is finished
