Fixed bug that caused view type to not be restored on app launch even if the "Restore view type" preference was on in Settings.
Fixed bug that could sometimes cause you not to see your typed text when renaming a file when the app is in dark mode.
Fixed bug that could cause a tab to suddenly close after renaming or moving a directory at the top level of the navigation stack.
