- Fixed a context bar crash introduced by a 27.0 change [Jim]
- Fixed a bug where you could generate invalid undo/redo actions by clicking “Move Up” or “Move down” without having any source selected [WizardCM]
- Fixed an issue where Psycho Visual Tuning would cause NVENC to fail to load when enabled for certain devices. Instead, they will now load without it if it’s unavailable [jpark37]

- Audio sources and scenes without filters will no longer have the “Copy Filters” option enabled [RytoEX]
