(Apple bug ID#FB20651946). The workaround for this also restores legibility to outline headers when e.g. a dark background is set for the outliner in dark mode. - Fixed bug whereby closing a split containing a comment that was being edited in the inspector would cause the text of the comment to stay visible in the inspector, and yet the comment change wouldn’t be saved. - Fixed a drawing bug where text could seem to disappear below the line being edited in page view. - Fixed bug whereby UI validation would stop working in windows that were closed and reopened, such as the Settings panel. - In an attempt to further alleviate an ongoing trackpad scrolling lag, UI validation is now paused entirely during live scrolling.
