ElasticTabstops only works on first view

[microcontroller]

Tested with 7.9 and 7.9.1 on Win10 x64. I just installed ElasticTabstops and immediately noticed this.

When I start up notepad++ with a tab-delimited file, the plugin makes everything look nicely aligned. The moment I switch to another file tab (even if I switch back) or reload the file, it reverts to the original un-aligned view. Disabling/re-enabling the plugin doesn't help. Newly opened files are also not aligned. If I "Move to new instance" or "Open in new instance" then I get the aligned view (at least initially) but "Move to other view" or "Clone to other view" don't.

Thanks for opening this issue. Sorry for the delay. Had to set up my dev machine again which I haven't gotten around to for a while. On other machines I have seen some odd behavior like this but currently can't reproduce it again.

Could you provide an exact set up of steps to reproduce this? Also your debug info (under the ? menu). Probably also your Elastic Tabstops settings (under Plugins > Elastic Tabstops > Settings)

I'm having the same problem, n++ 8.1.5, plugin version 1.3.1 (64bit).

When I move the view to another instance, it starts working. Even on new tabs.
I have default settings in ini

Maybe, plugin behaves differently when n++ opens with restored non saved files (n++ saves non saved files in a folder, reopens them at startup, without having to explicity save them or giving them names).

Just interesting, does it align if close and reopen the tab through the ctrl-w+ctrl-shift-t?

[rekna1]

no it does not.
