* Lesson color in topic outline now updates correctly depending on whether you add or delete steps while editing.
* Fixed a bug where the step instructions editing field would lose focus when tabbing from a step title field to step instructions, the step title had been changed and the user had "Sync Image Names to Step Titles" enabled in preferences.
* If you exported a PDF document using a template with a logo, removed the logo from the template and then exported again the header of the PDF was still allotting space for the logo.

* When using a capture delay of 0 second on Windows Vista artifacts of the ScreenSteps window would sometimes appear in the underlying window after clicking the capture button.
* After applying annotation settings to a lesson or a step the inspector palette would lose the link to the currently selected annotation. Changes to the inspector would have no affect.
* Tabbing in a lesson when a step was selected would change focus behind our backs. This would cause confusion and delay.

Enhancements
