Bug fixes and a rare crash fix. For anyone having issues with the autohide behavior: iClip will only auto show if it's already hidden. So, if you click the iClip menu bar icon to show iClip*, the iClip window will not hide until you click the iClip menu bar icon again*, even with "automatically show/hide" enabled. This is by design. * Alternatively, you can show and hide iClip by pressing the the hotkey (if configured), or by opening the app again (with Spotlight or by double-clicking the app icon).
