Fixes

• Made changes to work around a weird intersection of font metrics and floating-point math which would sometimes cause printed text to fail to indent after the first tab.

• Fixed bug in which changing a document-specific print setting in the print panel would fail to take effect immediately, in situations where the setting was being changed to match the global preference.

• Made a change so that the Open Recent submenu doesn't try to repopulate itself in response to a simple keyboard equivalent match (since the menu itself doesn't have any keyboard assignments possible). This will help when there are a large number of recent items stored on slow remote file servers.

• Fixed bug in which Esc didn't work to dismiss sheets in certain situations when "Enable meta sequences" was turned on in the Keyboard preferences.

• Fixed a case in which closing a results or Disk Browser window with an unsaved document would inappropriately prompt to save changes to the document in cases where the document was open in (at least) one other window.

• Made a change so that file changes in node_modules or directories hidden by .gitignore no longer invalidate the Open File by Name window cache.

• Fixed a typo in the "hex digit" character class example in the Grep cheat sheet.

• Fixed crash which could occur when trying to dismiss the Multi-File Search window (via Esc or Cmd-W) immediately after opening it.

• Fixed hang which would occur when using Cmd-left-arrow (and probably other cursor movements) more than 2GB into a file.

• Added some armor plating to prevent an reported event-handling crash that we can't reproduce.

• Updated the HTML5 syntax tables to allow some attributes and values for <iframe> that were previously reported as errors.

• The HTML5 syntax check will no longer complain about the value attribute missing a value in the input element.

• Fixed crash which would occur when clicking in the text of a file being displayed in a Differences window, when the underlying file had been deleted and the file had been in /tmp on macOS 10.15 and later.

• Fixed a few memory leaks.
