Blinking "Textpad"
I think I may have asked this before, but I have an issue with "Textpad" blinking on an off in the taskbar in Windows whenever the program is open, textpad becomes unresponsive while it's doing this. Only lasts for 10-15 seconds, then program's OK, but then it'll do it again, and again. Driving me nuts. Why would it be doing this?

Please post a screenshot of the settings on Configure/Preferences/Backup.
How many files do you have open when this happens, how many have been modified and how big are they?

Re: Blinking "Textpad"
Are you working in TextPad when this occurs or is it an issue while (you think) you're in a different window/program? Maybe another window is in the foreground but not active and TextPad is active, getting all the keyboard input that you want to send to a different window. F.e. TextPad would blink if you'd press F3 (to find the next match) and no match is found.djheiss915 wrote: Sun Nov 23, 2025 1:02 amwhenever the program is open, textpad becomes unresponsive while it's doing this
You posted Textpad Window disappearing and re-appearing several times from the Windows Taskbar 2.5+ years ago. However, disappearing and re-appearing from the taskbar is different than a remaining taskbar button that blinks.
