Issue is because of Tool window being used instead of normal window for these 2 dialogs- "Close All" and "Rename"
Known issue already discussed on- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3760571/showdialog-makes-app-window-disappear-from-windows-alt-tab-list
Excerpt from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/extended-window-styles -
WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW 0x00000080L The window is intended to be used as a floating toolbar. A tool window has a title bar that is shorter than a normal title bar, and the window title is drawn using a smaller font. A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the dialog that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB. If a tool window has a system menu, its icon is not displayed on the title bar. However, you can display the system menu by right-clicking or by typing ALT+SPACE.
DS_MODALFRAME is added for "Close All" dialog, because after making it normal window, it started showing default empty windows file icon.

Fix#6243
Fixed command line parsing logic error.
Root cause:
When you double click a file (where NPP has already replaced original Windows Notepad.exe) command like something like below is generated -
-notepadStyleCmdline -z "C:\WINDOWS\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE" F:\FakePath\PowerEditor\bin\change.log
After processing this command line, final command line is left as " F:\FakePath\PowerEditor\bin\change.log while others are ignored. Notice, quote " here just before the actual file path.
Later on, MS PAI ::PathIsRelative treats it as relative path because of quote " rather considering single file. It is expected too as per input to this API.
Now, notepad++ tries to open all the file from path F:\FakePath\PowerEditor\bin\ (in above case) along with file F:\FakePath\PowerEditor\bin\change.log.

The commit 'Make NppParameters singleton "new-less"' make NppParameters instantiate in the stack instead of allocating in the heap:
3dbb2c4b8e
It makes Notepad++ crash:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/18316/notepad-7-8-release-candidate-3/4
The crash is on following code:
vector<MacroShortcut> & vShortcuts = NppParameters::getInstance().getMacroList();
size_t nbItems = vShortcuts.size();
for (size_t itemIndex2 = 0; itemIndex2 < nbItems; ++itemIndex2)
{
...
vShortcuts.size() here return a random large number, which makes crash.
The explanation about vector::size() unexpected behaviour:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30548944/c-vector-size-is-wrong-and-higher-than-the-number-of-elements
Obviously the stack size is not large enough to contain NppParameters singleton in 64 bits.

`isSnapshotMode` in `config.xml` is overwritten with `no` regardless of
its original value.

Destroying allocated Scintilla makes Notepad++ crash because created Scintilla view's pointer is added into _referees of Buffer object automatically.
The deallocated scintilla view in _referees is used in Buffer::nextUntitledNewNumber().
So we do nothing here and let Notepad++ destroys allocated Scintilla while it exit and we keep this message for the sake of compability withe the existing plugins.

The problem is the way Windows searches for dynamically linked DLLs (Dynamic-Link Library Search Order).
For example, LuaScript.dll is the plug-in DLL, loaded by Notepad++.exe, and lua53.dll is the auxiliary DLL, required by LuaScript.dll and also by user-installed Lua modules. Both DLLs should be located in \plugins\LuaScript. But, when Notepad++ calls LoadLibrary to load LuaScript.dll, Windows will not find the dynamically linked lua53.dll, hence the LoadLibrary call fails. This happens, because Windows will look in the application directory (which is the location of Notepad++.exe), and not in the LuaScript.dll directory.
To make Windows search in the LuaScript.dll directory, Notepad++ needs to call LoadLibraryEx with the LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DLL_LOAD_DIR flag.

This is an workaround to deal with Microsoft issue in ReadDirectoryChanges notification
If command prompt is used to write file continuously (e.g. ping -t 8.8.8.8 > ping.log)
Then ReadDirectoryChanges does not detect the change.

How to reproduce:
1. Select a few lines, trigger "Hide lines".
2. Select a few other lines, trigger "Hide lines" as well.
3. Unhide the topmost block by clicking on the appropriate marker.
4. The marker to restore the other block disappear. So the block is still hidden, it cannot be unhidden and there is no more visual indication there are hidden lines!
