# CX Manager

- We fixed an issue where the scroll bar didn't work on the left folder navigation under Reports. You will now see a scroll bar when you have more folders than fit on a single screen.
- We fixed an issue where navigating to the Events timeline immediately after creating a Case could sometimes display a blank panel.
- We fixed an issue where sometimes a user sending an email could experience the message successfully being sent but not showing in the messaging panel.
- We fixed an issue where the browser tab title would sometimes display the wrong screen name. When a user navigated to a Case, the browser tab title would show the correct ID and name of the Case, but when the user went back to the Cases list, the browser tab title would not update. The browser tab title will now properly update for the screen you are viewing.

# Knowledge

We fixed a bug where Users were periodically being logged out without any notification. We also added a confirmation modal to let Users know they have been logged out instead of just taken directly back to the login screen.

# Journeys

We fixed an issue where a Task Action would periodically not start on the Journey timeline due to bad formatting of the Due Date.

# Virtual Assistants

We improved the performance, intent matching, and predication capabilities of the Virtual Assistants.

# Reporting & Dashboards

We fixed an issue in Reports where the Status filter would display a numerical number rather than the actual name (string) of the status selected by the user.

# Admin & Settings

We fixed an issue where Tags and Category dropdowns were not always populating when using them for conditional logic in Layouts.

# CX Manager

- We improved the processing performance of our email IMAP integrations.
- We moved our core application to new load balancers to enhance performance and resiliency.
- We fixed a bug that was causing the names on some dialog modals to be cut off.
- We fixed an issue where the list of files in the Case panel of the CX Manager screen did not properly scroll when the files went past the bottom of the screen.
- We fixed an issue where email history in certain email clients was displaying ‘Boomtown’ instead of the customer’s name when showing who wrote the previous emails.

# Knowledge

- We fixed an issue where Articles were sometimes not rendering inside the Solutions panel on the CX Manager screen due to increased security restrictions. All Articles will now properly load in the Solutions panel.
- We fixed an alignment issue on the search results page in the external knowledge libraries.
