Could you please have a quick look at this fix ?
I didn’t have the time to extensively check it but this might be the cause for this VERY CRITICAL problem:

The Compare plugin doesn’t work correctly. It activate the Synchronise Horizontal Scrolling button but the only one window is scrolled. I must to activate the Synchronise Vertical Scrolling button to get both scrolling. In v7.6.6 it activate the Horizontal too, but it scroll vertical.

In the new version of Notepad++ v7.7 scroll synchronization does not work during file comparison (plugin ComparePlugin2.0)

@rddim @andrecool-68

please only focus on notepad++ core functions at rc announcement topics and open a separate topic for the compare plugin compatibility with 7.7 at the plugin development section.

many thanks for your help and best regards.
