• Square grids now have distinct x and y size values

Fixed

• Images in the Token Direction indicator were overflowing
• Prevent shortcut handling when targetting an html select element
• Ampersand in campaign name preventing game load
• Duplicating (copy/paste) or undoing a removal of shapes would lose some info (e.g. notes)
• Undoing a shape removal related to a character did not work
• Undoing a shape removal causing the related group to be removed (i.e. last shape of the group)
• Cutting a rotated polygon would be wrong on refresh
• Resizing a rotated polygon did not correctly recalculate center, causing sudden shifts on move
• Note creation not going straight to edit mode in some cases
• Account settings text overlapping on smaller viewport widths
• Moving special hide/reveal shapes from the fow layer could lead to a niche bug
• Rotation slider not showing current value in text input on component load
• Shapes snapping to square grid sometimes offset from grid
• Shapes attempting to snap to a grid square now collide with walls
• DDraft files no longer being uploadable to the asset manager
• Moving shapes with keyboard keys while ruler was enabled on select tool would move shapes twice as far
• Hovering on an initiative entry that is part of a group but not marked as a group entry would highlight all group members
• Error log about viewports on the server
• Toggling initiative off vision lock interactions
• Initiative cog wheel not opening initiative tab in the client settings
• Initiative entries would remain blurred if the focused entry was removed by another player.
• Group system not properly cleaning up on location changes
• Group badges were not sorted numerically in a shape's group settings when set to the numbers character set.
• Tracker input resets to last value if left empty
