Automatically close font operation Window
When you perform a font operation (install, uninstall, load, unload, move, copy or delete) a window will pop up, showing you the progress of your initiated font operation. When you no longer wish to keep closing that window manually, do one of these:
a) Next time the font operation Window is shown, click once on the little pin in the bottom left corner. Now the next time you successfully complete a font operation, the window will automatically close; or
b) Select Options from the Tools menu and then click the Fonts tab. Now enable the "Fonts Operation" setting.

This may be a bug, or just a change in the code used for the new themes.
In the Layout Manager, add access keys when naming your layouts.
