Bug fixes

General

• Fixed … (Bug #, MR #)
• Improved a few user interface texts and added some missing icons back (Bugs #3355, #4193, #4316, MR #5393)

Dialogs

Layers and Objects

• Activating a layer in the dialog no longer leads to the layer being selected on-canvas as if it were a normal group, so you can activate a layer to draw in again directly. A second click is now needed to select the layer on-canvas (Bug #8423, MR #5394)
• The dialog's buttons for moving or deleting a layer or an object will now move and delete the right thing automatically, no matter the dialog's mode ('Layers only', or 'Layers and Objects') (Bug inbox#7792, MR #5394)
• When a layer is deleted, the next layer becomes the active layer again (instead of the document root) (Bug #3839, MR #5394).

Snap Panel

• The advanced snap popover panel now correctly shows all disabled sub-items as disabled (Bug #3421, MR #5121)

Path Operations / Shape Builder

• Using the "Division" path operation and the Shape Builder tool now results in a much more reasonable number of nodes (Bug #471, Bug #4494, MR #5962)

Tools

Text Tool

• Worked around a bug that happened with a certain, outdated Gtk setting, where trying to use the Text tool would freeze Inkscape ((Bug #3664, MR #5236))

macOS-specific Fixes

• Trying to dock a dialog underneath another dialog now no longer has a 100% crash rate. A few crashes may still occur, but it is fixed for the majority of cases (Bug #4111, MR #5489).
