    ! Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | Hide shell 
      extensions from shell context menu: Attempting to show the shell context menu for 
      multiple types could raise an "Automation error" for some type combinations. No

      Worked around: Now you'll get the native context menu in those situations.

      Fixed.

    + Toolbar | Bookmark Buttons: You can now display them without text. In "Rename 
      Bookmark..." (from the button's context menu) simply clear the edit box to display 
      only the icon. Previously, if no caption was specified, one was automatically 
      generated from the location.
    + Using arrow keys to jump to the next item while the hover box is showing now even 
      works if the current hover box is right under the cursor.
    ! Menu Go | Up: When parent folders were hidden in the Maxi Tree (e.g., due to "View > 
      Show Items > Show Hidden Files and Folders" being off), going up would lead to the 
      first visible parent being listed unnecessarily and very briefly (just visible as a 
      flash) before listing the actual destination. Fixed.
