Whats New:

- Some items were not showing up in the "Recent Items" jump list (Windows 7).
- Clicking on the canvas straight from the menu would cause the paintbrush to draw a long streak.
- Copy+Paste would sometimes miss a pixel edge on the right/bottom sides, when using Fixed Ratio / Fixed Size modes.
- Fixed a crash when moving pixels off-canvas, switching tools, then trying to move the pixels back onto the canvas.
