- Preserved the display of preferred codons when switching between DNA and mRNA formats when viewing a codon usage table
- Allocated sufficient space to display the "Size" column in Features view when viewing ssDNA and ssRNA sequences
- Prohibited pasting when multiple files are selected in a collection
- Prevented a crash that would occur after double-clicking when importing SnapGene and Addgene online sequences

- Removed the "Hybridization Parameters" menu action when viewing an RNA sequence in a collection
- Improved manual adjustment of vertical scaling of sequences traces aligned to a reference sequence
- Fixed an issue that prevented importing from Vector NTI databases on Windows
- Addressed an issue with importing some Vector NTI Express databases
- Fixed an issue in which the text representation of History view did not always refresh immediately when edits were made or undone
- Ensured correct enabling and disabling of the "Edit History" control in History view when the history is modified
