    This release contains several bugs fixed of v4.8.1, especially the unicode input bug , thanks to Harry B.

    In the version 4.8.2, the HexEditor plugin is removed by installer due to its incomparability with the updated Scintilla component (v1.75). However, if you don't use non-western characters unicode input, you can get it here :

    2.  Add the capacity (behaviour) of keeping line highlighting even when Notepad++ loss its focus.
    3.  Fix missing fonts problem in font list of Stylers configurator.

    5.  Add detection mouse wheel on the different view feature : User can scroll edit view when mouse on it, it's not necessary to set edit view as current view to scroll it.
    6.  Add clicking middle mouse button click to set current view feature : make clicked edit view be focused, but the cursor position does not change.
    7.  Add mouse wheel horizontal scroll feature (vista only).

      Hi Don,
      it seems that inputting Japanese characters still doesn't work in version 4.8.2.
      Thank in advance for your great work and your feedback,
      Dario

      hi Don.
      first - thanks for this great software.
      Hebrew (unicode) input isn't fixed with this version for me...
      does this version suppose to support hebrew/rtl languages as it states on the bug fix - unicode input fixed?
      thanks.

        Normally, you can key-in in Hebrew if the document is set as Unicode encoding.
        Remove all your plugins then try again. It should work since I have a confirmation of bug fixed from a Hebrew user :

      Is it just me, or is the Color Selector (in the Style Configurator) not working in this build? I haven't used it in a while, but now I can't enter more than 2 digits into each of the Red, Green, Blue, Hue, Sat, and Lum fields.

      They should all be able to take 3 digits. Can anyone else confirm this?

        Arent you running any applications that may conflict with this, afaik its a standard windows control (the same as used in MSPaint for example).
        If all fails, try safemode :)

          I'm using Vista, and the last time it worked was when I was on XP. The color selector doesn't work in Paint either. I guess it's Microsoft's shoddy programming.

          Do you know the technical name (i.e. the name in MSDN) of the control so I can search for a fix?

            Look for the
            ChooseColor
            function. Doesnt seem to describe any changes for Vista, are you sure it isnt a font problem and the controls are too small to display all 3 numbers?
            Select the white color and see what values you get

      How can i use mouse browsing (forward/back for switching to next/previous document) feature?
      Or is it for Vista only?

       
      • Nobody/Anonymous

        You should set the browser forward/backward buttons on your mouse, they should work if they work in your browser aswell :)

      > 7. Compare plugin v1.5.1

      The packed Compare Plug-In is dated 2008-02-20, while my current version, also 1.5.1, was dated 2008-02-22. How come?

      Hi,

      in this N++ version I can't convert uppercase umlauts to lowercase umlauts anymore. They disappear.
      ("ÄRGER" -> "rger", "Weiß" -> "wei", ...)

      Windows XP SP2.

       
    • Nobody/Anonymous

      What is the minimum to update N++, that i need for the new version 4.8.2 and dont loose my config?
      From the zip-version N++ 4.8.2.
      Thanks for your Answer!
