Description
Description of the Issue
When we are working on some other application, and when we mouse over on the Notepad++ icon on the status bar and then over the small notepad preview window, it shows the previous "Replace" model which I used (and closed as well) instead of just the new document.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Open Notepad++
- Open a existing document.
- Use the "Replace" model and make some replacements in the document.
- Close the "Replace" model.
- Go to some other application.
- Now, place the mouse over the Notepad++ icon, and then over the small preview window.
- It shows the "Replace" model which I used previously, instead of only the document currently open.
Expected Behavior
Shows only the current document open in Notepad++
Actual Behavior
Shows the "Replace" model on top of the currently open document.
