ExpressBars Suite

• An AV occurs on destroying a bar manager whose items are linked to a TdxBarPopupMenu component.

• Backstage View - A button's layout includes space for a glyph, even if the button has no glyph, provided that the Ribbon control does not use the "Office 2019" style.
• Popup Menu is shown without items if it placed in DFM before BarManager.
• TdxRibbonBackstageViewGalleryControl - An attempt to activate a gallery item via its key tip can result in an error if the item performs a custom set of actions.

ExpressEditors Library

• cxCheckBox - An editor's hint text does not update according to a hint change in the associated action object.
• Shell editors - The "Control has no parent window" exception occurs on an attempt to recreate a handle of an editor's parent control forces a dependent editor to create its handle if that editor's parent control is not ready.
• TcxDateNavigator does not synchronize the displayed month with the date assigned to the Date property while the Visible property is set to False.

• Export to XLS or XLSX - cxExportPivotGridData~ procedures place the last grouped row outside a group in the result document.

ExpressPrinting System

• cxRichEdit and TRichEdit/TDBRichEdit report links - Page content is positioned incorrectly if an operating system upscales an application in compatibility (DPI-unaware) mode.
• Export to PDF - An exported document has low text quality if the document uses certain embedded CID fonts.
