Build 112241

Bug Fixes:

• If you clicked into the target field in Concordance Manager the field was blank, this has been fixed.

• The Catalyst COM API now includes a Lock Keywords command, see the updated SDKGuide.chm in the Catalyst installation folder.
• Analysis of crash reports has led to some code changes to improve product stability in the areas of string filtering and swap languages.

Bug Fixes:

• Catalyst now preserves character entities entered by the user on XML files when extracted.

The underscore was being treated as a hotkey and converted to & ampersand on parsing, however on extraction the re-substitution of & to _ was not performed. This has now been resolved.
• A recent code change meant that unlocking a segment using the lock button in the Translator Toolbar was not possible, this has been resolved.
• A crash when attempting to align a localised resx form with a binary .Net assembly has been prevented. Note however that alignment only takes place on the same filetypes.
