- Usability:
- BUG 1145450: v1.4.0 crashes
- Exception violation when reading the ‘ignore scroll lock’ option from the registry. This setting will be written when the registry when the option ‘Save as default’ was checked in the options dialog upon a click on the OK button. Additionally it was noticed there was another bug associated with the ignore scroll lock option such that its value would not be passed to the connection (it would always be off).
- Changed combo boxes in dialog box from type drop-down combo to drop-down list boxes. This inhibits typing in these combo boxes that was not applicable at those locations.
