What works
There doesn't seem to be a change of state in usability of npp++ from 6.2.3 to 6.3 on wine.


What does not

I attempted to upgrade from 6.2.3. The download stalled at 14% on my first attempt. I completed the download on the second attempt. I accepted the prompt to close npp++ so as to upgrade, but no upgrade was performed; the terminal showed no work.

I did not make my own language formatting (U.D.L.) to test 6.3's new features.

Multiline find and replace
Incredibly, even the Multiline find and replace for the ToolBucket plugin which claims .NET 2.0 required works perfectly.

 
Avoiding Crash While Editing a Document Which Is Altered by Another Program

Notepad++ crashes under all, but this particular situation when a document is open in npp+ (Notepad++). To test this use gedit to alter a .txt when npp+ has the same .txt open as well.

To avoid this crash, configure the following;

1. Make the check box "Enable" checked in "File Status Auto-detection" (the box of options) within "MISC." (the tab) within "Preferences" from "Settings" (the menu's option).

i.e. have "Settings" -> "Preferences" -> "File Status Auto-detection" -> "MISC." -> "Enable" checked


 
Recovering from a Lost Menubar

If you activate a toggled menubar (Settings->Preferences->Menu Bar->check box "Hide (use Alt or F-10 key to toggle"), then close the Preferences window, you will not have a menubar. There are two known options to regain the menubar. (Bug 21918)

Option 1 - disallow the window manager to decorate the windows

$ winecfg

Graphics->Window Settings->uncheck box "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows"

Option 2 - have Wine emulate a virtual desktop

$ winecfg

Graphics->Window Settings->check box "Emulate a virtual desktop"

Notice

Both options are configurations to Wine which can be found in "Wine configuration", which does not need to be started from the command-line; that is just the method that I've chosen.
