Pot-O Note Pad v3.3.3

🌶️ Pot-O Note Pad v3.3.3 Codename "Chili"

This release focuses on improving stability, refining key features, and introducing a handy new text manipulation tool.

✨ New Feature

• Remove Line-Breaks: A highly requested feature has been added! You can now easily clean up copied text by removing all unnecessary line breaks, turning multi-line paragraphs into a single block of text for easier editing and formatting.

⚙️ Improvements

• Enhanced "Insert Symbols" Dialog: The symbol insertion experience is now smoother and more intuitive. We've improved the layout and responsiveness of the dialog box, making it faster to find and insert the special characters you need.
• Clipboard Text Sanitization: The Text Editor now automatically sanitizes copied text coming from the clipboard. This helps strip out common invisible or unwanted characters (like zero-width spaces or non-standard formatting codes) that can sometimes cause display or saving issues when pasting from external sources.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed "Save as PDF" Menu: The "Save as PDF" menu item is now fully functional, allowing you to correctly export your notes as PDF documents without issues.
• Resolved Open and Save Operations: Developer have addressed several underlying issues with the core Open and Save functionality. All file operations are now more reliable and stable across different operating systems.
