Description of the Issue

When closing a XML tag, Notepad++ crashes as I type the last letter of the tag name. Happens in v8.3. If the file is saved in an older version, and opened in v8.3, Notepad++ will crash. Can cause a crash on startup.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Create a new file
  2. Set the language to XML
  3. Type in:
<test>
</test
  1. The program will crash as you type in the last letter

Expected Behavior

Notepad++ should highlight the opening tag, as in v8.2.1

Actual Behavior

Notepad++ crashes
