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
  1. Open Notepad++
  2. Open a existing document.
  3. Use the "Replace" model and make some replacements in the document.
  4. Close the "Replace" model.
  5. Go to some other application.
  6. Now, place the mouse over the Notepad++ icon, and then over the small preview window.
  7. 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.
