### Detailed Changelog
**Bugfixes**
* The way margins are determined in the paged dialogs used many places, including Preferences, has
been improved. These margins would sometimes be set to zero when they shouldn't. PR #834.
* Dialogs that are non-modal are no longer duplicated when opened multiple times. Instead, the
existing dialog is moved to the front. PR #834.
**Internationalisation**
* US English and Norwegian translations have been updated by @vkbo. PR #825.
* French translations have been updated by @jyhelle. PR #829.
