Application.Update broken?

With 1.2.52/53 the following code no longer works, nor does it throw any kind of error, I just never get into the action block:

Application.Update(this, () =>
{
     //I never get here
}

Hi Nic,

first of all sorry for that. A new build (1.2.54) that has just been uploaded fixes that issue.

We added Application.RunInContext() and consolidated the code behind it,
because some controls used Application references and if they are running from an out-of-bound thread
without a context switch - like event handlers - their context was stale.

Now it handles also nested out-of-bound updates on different threads restoring
the previous context upon exiting.

Best regards
Frank
