- Fixed material property animations so they work correctly following the asset data model rework.
- Fixed the Add Component window to show a scroll bar, which prevents long script lists from being cut off.
- Modified draft removal behavior so when you remove an asset from a draft, all related references are cleared automatically.
- Fixed the keyboard shortcut (Cmd+C) so it works correctly.
Copy - Fixed the Long loading times notification so it disappears once the draft finishes loading.
