  • Some minor improvements.
Bug fixes:
  • The message type tooltip shown in the Receive/Transmit lists was not hidden when the mouse was moved to another window.
  • For windows in floating or docking style, popup menus could be scaled incorrectly in an environment with mixed monitor scaling settings.

  • Access violation when closing the application if the External Tools dialog had been opened previously.
