Plot Scale: The scale indication in plot view insets was lost when exporting plots to PDF.
Rotation Anchor: The rotation anchor was not placed correctly when selecting a single annotation in plot mode.
Fill Lighting: Fill lighting could get "stuck" when turning lights off on Windows (due to a bug in certain AMD video card drivers).

Plot Text: Inserting keywords into plot text insets while in dark mode on macOS could result in unreadable text.
Gobo Indexing: Jumping between the minimum and maximum angles of gobo indexing could result in a extra jittery motion.
Object Distribution: Distributing widgets already aligned on an axis could produce unpredictable results.
