  (Requested by Dan)

Fixes

• Improved application stability when dragging out selections.
  (Reported by Kengo Adachi and others)
• Corrected a regression to ensure detection of restriction sites whose recognition sequences span the numerical origin.
  (Reported by Anthony Picard)
• Populate the "Description" fields when pasting GenBank content into the New File dialogs.
  (Reported by Dustin Rubinstein)
• Improved the detection of sequence type when importing DNASTAR SeqBuilder files.
  (Reported by Oleh Rymarenko)
• Corrected a regression to restore transfer of primers when pasting a copied DNA sequence.
  (Reported by Peter Diebold)
• Fixed an issue that could result in editing-induced disappearance of a sequence aligned to a reference DNA sequence.
  (Reported by Paula)
• Enabled simulation of Gateway BP and LR recombination around the numerical origin.
  (Reported by Matthew Sale)
• Improved application stability when searching for enzymes, features, and primers.
• Corrected a misleading message that was shown when a problem occurred during program activation.
• Ensured that the enzyme set indicator does not occlude content after scrolling to the bottom of Sequence view.
• Streamlined the side toolbar in the Insert Codons, Choose Alternative Codons, Browse Common Features and Insert Feature dialogs.
• Restored highlighting of the called base under the mouse when viewing sequence traces.
• Improved application stability when using the "Find similar DNA sequences" command.
• Improved performance when showing the Add Primer dialog and other dialogs that provide controls for choosing files.
• Ensured highlighting of the inserted region for Gateway BP cloning in the Insert tab, and of the ancestral insert in History view for the resulting product file.
• Restored import of ssRNA sequences as double-stranded rather than single-stranded DNA.
• Prevented repetitive alignment to a reference sequence when making simple edits such as insertions, deletions, and same-size replacements.
• Ensured that the Next button is the default control after searching a sequence trace.
• Ensured correct scrolling of Sequence, Features, and Primers views in response to a change in the selection, but only when appropriate.
• Improved application stability when quitting.
• Improved application stability when hovering over aligned sequences.
• Improved application stability when mousing over features.
• Improved application tability when searching a collection for a named feature.
• Improved application stability when importing primers.
• Improved reliability when importing from NCBI.
