✧ Fixed a bug that caused the corner radii of windows in Full Screen to not match.
✧ Fixed an issue that sometimes led to poor vertical alignment in the File Shelf.
✧ Dragging files to Kaleidoscope will properly open to a comparison document and will no longer leave the launch window open in the background.
