    • BUGFIX: UI: the import window would display wrong library names if a new database was opened without quitting IDA
    • BUGFIX: UI: tracing actions (Instruction tracing etc.) were not enabled for some debuggers which do support tracing (e.g. Bochs)
    • BUGFIX: UI: TXT: Changed meaning of 'width' field parameter in forms descriptions. Now it is buffer size -1 for text fields and the number of characters for digital fields
    • BUGFIX: UI: Using IDA in a Windows 8 RDP session might cause a freeze of the session when dragging & dropping widgets
    • BUGFIX: UI: When animations were turned off, IDA could temporarily freeze
    • BUGFIX: UI: when creating 32-bit segments with base 0, a selector was not allocated for it, leading to various issues
    • BUGFIX: UI: when creating a new script snippet, the previous snippet text was not always cleared from text field
    • BUGFIX: UI: When double-clicking a result in a non-modal "Xrefs to ..." view, in order to jump in the (previously hidden) tabbed graph view, the graph view might center on an incorrect place
    • BUGFIX: uiswitch: it was impossible to specify a switch with zero elbase but nonzero shift
    • BUGFIX: unreachable meaningless fpu instructions could hinder fpu stack analysis
    • BUGFIX: User graphs: paint nodes background even when text is not painted (i.e., zoom level is too far away.)
    • BUGFIX: when a struct was deleted, the corresponding type was not always deleted from the local types
    • BUGFIX: When changing a variable/argument type in a function frame, 'Structures' xrefs might not be updated
    • BUGFIX: when debugging, the cursor could be positioned on a multiline comment line in the pseudocode view, instead of the line with the real code
    • BUGFIX: When horizontally scrolled, IDA View-A could fail to highlight the word on which the cursor is currently placed
    • BUGFIX: When in graph view, jumping to the current function's call sites through the node title's "Jump to xref" icon could focus on the wrong node in the calling function
    • BUGFIX: when opening an old IDB for a processor without the type system there could be a significant delay (a dozen of seconds or more)
    • BUGFIX: When performing some keyboard shortcut sequences very fast, and then moving up/down with the keyboard's line up/down, or page up/down, the disassembly listing could show a single line (or jump one page off)
    • BUGFIX: While grouping/ungrouping some nodes, IDA could freeze until 'Esc' is pressed
    • BUGFIX: WinDbg: windbg debugger could not write FPU register values
    • BUGFIX: 64bit linux debugger: Incorrect reading of FPU registers
    • BUGFIX: ARM: arm module would display 'LDR R0, =0xFFFFFFFF' or similar in case the LDR instruction was referrring to a non-existing or uninitialized memory address
    • BUGFIX: DWARF: Could misinterpret very large types (> 0x1fffffff bytes-large)
    • BUGFIX: GDB: a malicious GDB stub could cause heap memory overwrite in IDA during debugging
    • BUGFIX: IDA could abort with message "index file is bad" when compressing database
    • BUGFIX: IDA could crash at DWARF-loading time, because the DWARF plugin would try and retrieve too many bytes from the file
    • BUGFIX: IDA could crash/hang on corrupted databases
    • BUGFIX: IDA could hang trying to load corrupted input files
    • BUGFIX: IDA could hang trying to read symbols from an erroneously-large symbols table
    • BUGFIX: IDAPython: internal_get_sreg_base() wasn't usable
    • BUGFIX: IDAPython: set_nav_colorizer() was not accepting Python callables as implementation. Issue 1370
    • BUGFIX: PC: some FPU instructions were not decoded if they had a REX prefix
    • BUGFIX: Pressing 'p' to create a procedure, then keyboard-navigating to another piece of code and pressing 'p' again could not work (unless something caused the actions to be updated again; e.g., opening a dialog.)
    • BUGFIX: IDA could interr when guessing a function prototype if the stack was growing up for the current processor
    • BUGFIX: IDA could spend too much time generating the listing if there were too many lines in .net files
    • BUGFIX: kernel: handling of switches with SWI_JMP_INV flag set was broken
    • BUGFIX: specially crafted .sig files could crash IDA
    • BUGFIX: PPC: some simplified instruction forms were missed
