  • Added "Undo Tab Close" and "New Tab" to the context menu on the tab bar. (Issue: 2144)
  • It is no longer possible to cut or copy from a password text-field. (Issue: 9425)
  • Ctrl+Shift+Arrow allows change in text direction in RTL UIs. Also now support Ctrl+Shift text alignment based on which side of the keyboard those keys are pressed.(Issues: 9762, 9763)

The "Edit Thumbnails" option is great! :-)
