- an issue where changes to Mode settings might not take effect immediately
- an issue where changing the document appearance or deleting a custom theme could leave the theme editor in the Appearance settings pane showing an outdated theme
- an issue in the file browser where renaming an item while filtering could show stale results or crash
- an issue in the file browser where moving both a folder and its contained items to the Trash at the same time could show an incorrect confirmation or unnecessary error
- an issue in the file browser where old filter results could be shown after changing the filter text quickly
- [trivial] Fix an issue where the Multiple Replace window could keep showing the previous definition after failing to load another definition
