With ConEmu Far plugin loaded, ConEmu closes Far panel after <arrow down> in Far editor

Author: nshustovCreated Feb 13, 2026Updated Jul 22, 2026

ConEmu version: 230724 stable (x64) Far Manager version: 3.0.6644.0 (x64)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open file in Far editor (F4)
  2. Push "arrow down" key
  3. Observe Far panel closes. Any other opened panels remain opened.

Investigation notes:

Either of the following makes the issue go away:

  • Remove from Far task launch command line: /p"%ConEmuDir%\Plugins\ConEmu;%FARHOME%\Plugins;%FARPROFILE%\Plugins"
  • Rename/remove ConEmu.dll/ConEmu.x64.dll in "C:\Program Files\ConEmu\Plugins\ConEmu"

What does not help:

  • Disabling ConEmu hooks injection (C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu\ConEmuHk.dll and C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu\ConEmuHk64.dll are loaded regardless)
