Context menu icons order (AS 2.54, Windows XP SP3 32-bit)

Hello
This is my first post in this forum and first of all I would like to say that Salamander is a wonderful program!
I have noticed a minor issue in the icons ordering in the file context menu:
1. I right click a file. A context menu appears. As you see at the top there is a Notepad++ icon.

2. When I select the top menu item, the Notepad++ icon disappears.

3. When I select the "Edit with Notepad++" item, the icon appears again at the top.

4. In the Explorer context menu everything seems OK.

Welcome.

I just tested registering Notepad++'s context menu item - no problem - and associating it with .txt files - still no problem.
I'd suggest re-registering the shell extension (in Command Prompt, or using Start > Run) and recreating the file associations (in Notepad++'s settings), preferably "as Administrator" if you're using Windows Vista or 7. Depending on your OS version and installation options, the re-registering could go as follows:
Code: Select all
regsvr32 /u C:\Program Files\Notepad++\NppShell_04.dll
regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Notepad++\NppShell_04.dll
Hope this helps. If not, I'm gonna be needing more information about your system, application versions and how you installed Notepad++.

Sorry, it didn't help. I unregistered and registered NppShell_04.dll - nothing changed.
Also I made today some experiments with previous versions of Notepad++:
Notepad++ v5.8.3 (NppShell_02.dll): the icon position is OK in both Salamander and Explorer context menu.
Notepad++ v5.8.4 (NppShell_03.dll): no icon in both Salamander and Explorer context menu (NP++ bug).
Notepad++ v5.8.5 (NppShell_04.dll): the icon is at the top in Salamander context menu, and is OK in Explorer context menu.
With 5.9.1 (current version) - same as with 5.8.5.
(btw - Salamander context menu looks better
)
Obviously on my machine there is some kind of incompatibility between Salamander and the latest versions of NP++.
I will check tomorrow on my office computer (Windows XP too) to see if there is the same behavior.

Ehm..., I completely missed the OS version information in the topic title.
So, instead of testing on my primary Windows 7x64 system, I tried it on Windows XP SP3 and the context menu icon
really is behaving strangely. Mostly, it disappears when the item is highlighted and doesn't appear again after moving the mouse cursor upwards.
