Old story from here - good news and bad ...
First - I installed 3.10.0, rebuilt emelFM2, and so far have found it works
better than on 3.8.4. Still no horizontal scrollbars, or menu icons (even when
deprecated code which is supposed to add such icons is re-enabled). Not a whole
lot of testing, but it does pass the 'steps to reproduce' that you posted
recently.
The bad - this makes it much harder to figure out why yours is not working.
Almost certainly will need to customise some files with extra debug messages.
I'll start by thinking about what's different between 0.8.1 and current svn.
Would be good to get as much insight as you can provide about precise
circumstances and trains of events, including cases where things still work.

Tom
