• Prevent offering to copy when no text is selected.
• Fixed the saving of states of docking windows.
• Fixed cross-references always displaying Rev 1:1.
• Fixed missing module grouping in some module chooser menus.
• Fixed "change location" shortcut not working when the target widget is already focused.
• Cleared a number of debug warnings.
• Removed a potential assertion triggered by the "Manage indexes" button.
