Output logChanged behaviour: line numbers are not shown any more in the output log ('Output' panel) to save space 
Popup Info panelThe info panel popup dialogue was improved and the "detached" action is now exposed as a separate "link" button just like in the docked info panel. So it is easy to link/unlink a popup info panel! The other improvement is that ecFlowUI now remembers this setting. The default is still "detached" but you can easily change it with one click. 
Context menuImprovement: The 'Cancel' command was renamed 'Remove' and was made available for suites, tasks and families.Output logChanged behaviour: line numbers are not shown any more in the output log ('Output' panel) to save space

For example, if a tree view has a status filter which does not display completed nodes, and the user clicks on a completed node from a search result or a notification, then it will appear in any tree or table view that is in the linked state.ECFLOW-813
