Notepad++ won't filter filenames with wildcards on File > Open
Choosing File > Open or Ctrl+O in Notepad++ presents the list of files in the current folder, but I can't filter with wildcards, like *.txt. When I do that and click Open the Open dialog just disappears. Any way to fix this?
I'm also seeing a problem with File > Save As... when I enter .. in the filename field it says "That file already exists, overwrite?"
