- Fixes a problem introduced in Xdata 4.4 where string comparisons (of short strings in particular) might report failure even when the strings match.
- Fixes a long-standing headers/footers update problem that was randomly inserting the continued text.

- Fixes a problem where headers/footers couldn’t be edited.
