[ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-3

[Paul Dupuis]

I have not experienced this (Windows 10), but in the ast, similar new

preferences file and then starting the new version to reset the prefs to 
defaults (and then set them back to whatever you want.

No shortcuts works, and, If I select ”Quit” from the icon in the dock LiveCode doesn’t quit. Only thing I can do is to ”Force Quit” the application.
