When in Folder Diff (Comparison), if on item is focused and one of its parent is collapsed, the opposite pane stay expanded.
When in Search panel, the button to select target folders doesn’t work.

On Windows, GetShortName can potentially be disabled for a partition. FileVoyager makes use of GetShortName to pass file/folder paths between processes. This disabling of GetShortName can prevent some features to work properly. -> Resolved in 19.5.1.0
When an incompatible version of libeay.dll and ssleay.dll are installed in a system folder, they supersede those deployed with FileVoyager. -> Resolved in 16.3.12.0
The consequence is that an error message is displayed at the start of FileVoyager.
When “killing” (permanently deleting) or moving a junction or a symbolic link, the operation impacts the target of the junction or symbolic link. This issue has a high priority for the next release. -> Resolved in 15.6.15.0
When deleting items to the Recycle Bin on a partition that has no Recycle Bin, the items are permanently deleted without warning. This issue has a high priority for the next release. -> Resolved in 15.6.15.0
The shell context menu of the files or folders is themed. On some rare specific cases, this theming impacts the rendering of the context menu. In the next release, the theming of the context menu will be deactivated by default. It will be up to the user to activate it and keep it so if the rendering is not deteriorated. -> Resolved in 15.6.15.0
