Bug fixes:
- The screen recorder was pausing the recording when the windows were being dragged.
- Some typos were corrected.
- The triangle shape was impossible to use when regional/number settings were using comma as decimal separator instead of a period.
- Other types of progress overlays were shifted 1 frame ahead, so the last frame will represent 100% of the progress.
- When trying to edit the key strokes, there was a case in which you could not, because of a faulty validation preventing you from opening the window to edit.
- When manually switching from a zoom different than 100% (example: 140%) back to 100% and later opening and closing a panel,
- the zoom would go back to the zoom 140% instead of staying at 100%.
- The tooltips for some buttons are now translatable.
- Fixed issues with some windows not opening at the correct position.
- Fixed the delay rounding for encoders v1 and v2, since gifs can only have delays of multiples of 10ms in each frame.
