Bug fixes and other minor improvements including:
- The B4A-Bridge indicator in the status bar is clickable. Toggles the connection state.
- Find subs and modules (Ctrl + E) can also be used to jump to a line number. Click Ctrl + E, enter the line number and press enter.
- Virtualization of TreeViews in the designer can be disabled by editing the INI file. It is a workaround for a .Net Framework issue that can cause the designer to freeze.
