Hi all

I think this is a new problem on 5.2 (I certainly don't remember it happening prior to my 5.2 installation and I've been using TextPad since version 3.x). It's not a high proprity problem for me, just an annoyance really.

The problem: I have multiple files open and I want to close down some but not all of them (i.e. I don't want to use the File/Close All option).

What I normally do is select each of the files in turn using the tabs (I always have tabs turned on and set to stacked). Then I repeatedly click the close (X) button on the right of the tab bar for the number of files I want to close. Prior to 5.2 this worked fine, however, on 5.2 if I click too quickly I get the Open File(s) dialog box appear.

I notice that clicking 3 times quickly in the tab bar (but not on the tabs) also brings up the Open File(s) dialog box so I suspect that this has priority over the close button which maybe it shouldn't have. I've looked through the various Preferences options and there doesn't seem to be a way of turning this option off.

Instead of using the tabs, you might consider selecting the documents you want to close in the Document Selector. Then right click and choose Close Document(s)

Thanks for the suggestion.

However, I never use the document selector (yeah, I know it's only an F11 press away). I'm one of those people that hate to see the screen cluttered with lists and other stuff that I find of minimal use - which is why I prefer to program using a text editor and not an IDE.

I suppose it's just that I don't want to learn new tricks and TextPad 5.2 has broken (or impaired, more like) one of my old tricks by adding a feature that I don't actually want!
