- The Info bar now displays X and Y coordinates properly.
- Fixed an issue where Control-clicking the canvas doesn’t bring up the shortcut menu.
- Double-clicking the title bar now minimizes the app when “Double-click a window’s title bar to minimize” is selected in System Preferences.
- Changing palettes’ size is now way faster and more responsive.

Stability and reliability
Fixes related to stability and reliability, including issues that could cause Pixelmator to quit unexpectedly or hang in these situations:

- When exporting image to JPEG and PNG file formats.
- When exporting slices.
- When copying or pasting grouped layers with other than an sRGB color profile.
