+* Fixed multiple issues where ComponentGrid would display incorrect help prompts
 * Help prompts were missing for the "Rating" and "Release date" fields in the metadata editor
 * There was some strange behavior in DateTimeEditComponent when changing the date all the way down to 1970-01-01

+* Under some circumstances and at some screen resolutions, the last menu separator line would not get rendered (still an issue at extreme resolutions like 320x240)
 * When scrolling in menus, pressing other buttons than "Up" or "Down" did not stop the scrolling which caused all sorts of weird behavior
 * With the menu scale-up effect enabled and entering a submenu before the parent menu was completely scaled up, the parent would get stuck at a semi-scaled size

 * When marking a game to not be counted in the metadata editor and the game was part of a custom collection, no collection disabling notification was displayed
 * Horizontal sizing of the TextComponent input field was not consistent across different screen resolutions
+* The sizing of the metadata editor was strange, which was clearly visible when activating the Ctrl+G debug mode
 * The "sortname" window header was incorrectly spelled when editing this type of entry in the metadata editor
 * When the last row of a menu had its text color changed, this color was completely desaturated when navigating to a button below the list

 This enables a virtual (on-screen) keyboard that can be used at various places throughout the application to input text and numbers using a controller. The Shift and Alt keys can be toggled individually or combined together to access many special characters. The general use of the virtual keyboard should hopefully be self-explanatory.
 
+**Enable menu scroll indicators**
+
+With this option enabled, "up and down" scroll indicators will be displayed in the upper right corner of menus (including the metadata editor) if there are more entries available than can be shown on the screen at the same time. These indicators will change dynamically as the list is scrolled. If the setting is disabled, a simplified static indicator will be displayed instead.

 **Enable toggle favorites button**
 
 This setting enables the _Y_ button for quickly toggling a game as favorite. Although this may be convenient at times, it's also quite easy to accidentally remove a favorite tagging of a game when using the application more casually. As such it could sometimes make sense to disable this functionality. It's of course still possible to mark a game as favorite using the metadata editor when this setting is disabled. The option does not affect the use of the _Y_ button to add or remove games when editing custom collections.
