Description of the Issue
This popped up recently: when I switch to administrator mode, Notepad++ switches my user settings to administrator settings. Once I switch back to regular user mode, I have to configure my theme, word wrap, etc. all over again.
If I change settings while in administrator mode, then those settings are preserved when I switch back to a regular user. That's the workaround I'm using for now.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- In regular user mode, set a non-default style.
- Open a protected file. I have my Windows hosts file
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hostsopen all the time as I edit it often. - Try to edit and save it. Notepad++ will prompt to enable administrator mode.
- Open Notepad++ in administrator mode. It will open with administrator settings (for me it was everything set to defaults).
- Close and reopen in regular user mode. Settings will still be set to administrator settings.
Expected Behavior
For custom user settings to be preserved when switching between administrator mode and back.
Actual Behavior
User settings were permanently reset to administrator settings.
