    • fixed problems when scrolling the plugin page

• File selection/saving: automatically accepts the entered file name when pressing <return> (no need to click on the select button)
• Video capture:
  • increased the speed of the video grabbing on Windows

Bug fixes

• GuiTextEditSliderCtrl:
  • fixed problems with the format wanting the number always in front
• GuiSliderCtrl:
  • when the gui style is not providing a slider gfx then it's drawing the default slider instead of not drawing anything
• GuiButtonCtrl/GuiTabCtrl:
  • fixed problems with some styles where the tiling for button graphics was not correctly specified, so that only the corners of the button were drawn
• Video capture:
  • increased the video buffer size (was giving error sometimes when recording videos of huge size and lots of movement on the screen)
  • Linux: the capture options are not resetting anymore when changing the GUI style
  • Linux/Mac/Graal3D: fixed a problem with making screenshots (Alt-2) that could crash the client
  • Windows: fixed problems with only getting a white screen when doing screenshot or video
• Updater:
  • the update process works better now without giving the message "Couldn't delete Graal.exe" on some machines (will work with the next update)
