  • Error from Viz Engine during import of scene: invalid sublocation *#-1*DATA (TRIO-3899).

  • The selected element in the pagelist/playlist loses its channel assignment when changing profile (TRIO-3773).

  • Channel is not updated in the combo box after modifying the channel name (TRIO-2890).

  • Removed support for time code reader hardware like PCL PCI D from Alpermann+Velte Electronic Engineering (TRIO-3498).

  • Still elements with images from Graphic Hub might be filtered out from page views wrongly (TRIO-4607).

  • Parent tab fields will show in non-expert mode even if all child properties are hidden (TRIO-5661).
