Fixed

  • Yahoo Finance's watchlist tools are writes. The server's newer versions add four tools that change a signed-in account's watchlists (create, add, remove and delete), and the catalog still described it as having nothing it could change: on 0.3.0 they ran as reads, without confirmation, and from 0.4.0 no profile could turn them on. They now follow the profile's writes switch, and need the cookie of a signed-in finance.yahoo.com tab; the crumb is derived from that cookie, so it rarely needs setting.

  • The menu bar panel closes when it opens a window. Settings, Logs, About, What's New, a server's row and the licence notice's key button could each leave the panel open over the window they had just opened, since opening one of the app's own windows never closes it. The server rows also highlight under the pointer, where they used to give no sign of being clickable until the click.
