Due to several critical issue in v4.8 OR, Notepad++ v4.8.1 is released : http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=102072
The blue screen/reboot problem is due to vista manifest file in GUP, the auto-updater used by Notepad++ (see : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921337 ), the manifest file is removed from GUP in order to remedy this problem. As well, the auto-updater won't check update for vista users in this version. Users can launch auto-updater manually.
Shortcut Shift+Del, Shift+Ins and Ctrl+Ins are back in this version. However there's always input problem for non-ainsi characters (for example, Cyrillic characters). It's sue that this bug is related with updating to Scintilla 1.75 from 1.73. I don't find out yet why and how. Please let me know if you identify the problem. For the Cyrillic users, please stick with v4.7.5 until this problem is solved in the next version.
Notepad++ v4.8.1 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.7.5) : 1. Enhance Shortcut Mapper - all the commands (including plugins commands) can be assigned to a shortcut, even for the unmapped ones. 2. Upgrade Scintilla from v1.73 to v1.75 3. Add multi-line and vertical capacity for tab bar. 4. Add launch "as notepad" style feature (detection of asNotepad.xml, then launch notepad++ with -multiInst -nosession -notabbar options). 5.

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). 8. Add mouse browsing (forward/back for switching to next/previous document) feature. 9.
