It's not uncommon that software updates break functionality that I've come to take for granted. This usually derails the crap out of whatever task I was trying to work on when I found the problem.

Sometimes, I can find a fix within a couple minutes and get back to doing the thing.

Sometimes... I spend hours digging through documentation and forum posts to no avail. The worst is when I find a couple posts asking about the problem, and the only responses are from folks who would rather criticize the post than actually, you know, help.

In this case, the trouble is this – https://superuser.com/questions/1432245/after-a-recent-update-to-notepad-7-6-6-i-cannot-enter-accented-characters-suc – and I'm almost ready to start installing previous versions of Notepad++ until my keyboard works right again. (And yes, it's the only soft I use that has this problem.)
