When pasting content from Microsoft Word extra spaces were being inserted in text that came after images as well as text that came before images.
When pasting content from Microsoft Word empty paragraphs are now stripped out. Extra paragraphs are often used in Word for creating new paragraphs. This ends up adding unnecessary paragraphs in a web editor.

Resizing the image canvas for images created in previous versions of ScreenSteps would not render the changes when exporting.

When adding new headings in the left column the text editor was using italicized text (regression).
The corner radius setting on the "OK" button in the Knowlege Base link dialog was not correct.
All articles were showing up as unpublished when searching in the Knowledge Base link dialog.
Version 3 articles had the canvas width, height, and background color settings in a different location than the image annotator was looking for them in. If the canvas was not the same size as the images in the canvas then the canvas size would not be correct.
