Up through Notepad++ v845 the version of GUP.exe used the title "Notepad++ update" on the dialog box that reports "An update package is available, do you want to download it?"
Starting with Notepad++ v846 GUP.exe uses the title "Update available" for the same dialog box. As "Notepad++" is no longer part of the dialog box title some users are confused as to what application they are running that caused the dialog box to pop up.
Can the GUP.exe that ships with Notepad++ be updated to use "Notepad++ update" for the dialog box title?
I also discovered when testing this using Notepad++ that up through Notepad++ v845 that it was possible to load the contents of the dialog box into the copy/paste buffer using Ctrl-C. This is a feature I have used a lot for many applications. A dialog box pops up and I want to copy/paste the box over to something else. Usually Ctrl-C works and I get the text of the box. For example, when running Notepad++ v845 I get
---------------------------
Notepad++ update
---------------------------
An update package is available, do you want to download it?
Current version is : 8.4.5.0
Available version is : 8.5.6
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------
Starting with Notepad++ v846 Ctrl-C for this dialog box no longer works (nothing happens and nothing is loaded into the copy/paste buffer) meaning I would need to use screen shots or some other method to document the contents of the dialog box.
Can this dialog box be fixed so that Ctrl-C for loading the dialog box contents into the copy/paste buffer works?
