Bug fixes and minor changes

Minor changes

Bubble Chart axes configuration. It is now possible to configure the axis format of the Bubble chart
Bullet Chart. It is now possible to set the background color on the Bullet Chart object
Tree object. It is now possible to align (left/center/right) the text or numbers displayed in a node of the Tree object
Data View columns sorting. Clicking the column header of a Data View now sorts the rows in descending order, the second click sorts them in ascending order and the third click restores the original order (i.e. non-sorted)
Layout column sorting. The Layout now supports sorting columns displayed in "Detail by"
Chart object. The Sort on Columns is supported on Chart objects as well. Using this option in the Layout of Cartesian charts allows to sort series
Button. A new action type has been added, "Go to previous screen": it navigates back one step in browser history. Used in a capsule, it goes back to the previous capsule screen and restores the selections and pagers as they were when the user left the page. This action simplifies building in-app navigation. The back/forward buttons of the browser can also be used for the same purpose
Data View. It is now possible to press the F9 key in order to save pending data-entry. Pressing F9 has the same effect as pressing the Save button of the Data View
Data View optimization. When the number of rows in a Data View exceeds 1000, the labels appearing in the vertical scroll-bar that show the entity member have been removed. This is a performance optimization that considerably reduces payload on large reports, improves response time and reduces browser memory consumption
Entity Cut-off. The Entity Cut-off parameter has been deprecated and removed from the interface. All entities can now be used in Selectors and Pagers without limitations, regardless of their size. When the number of members is particularly high, the members list is buffered and automatically passed to the browser in chunks
Data-entry shortcuts. It is now possible to use the shortcuts "+" or "~" to add or subtract a given number. For example, typing +100 on a cell adds 100 to the existing value
Nexel Text Cube. It is now possible to load Nexel formulas in a dedicated Text Cube and to associate it with a numerical cube on which Nexel formulas will subsequently be applied.
Formulas can be entered in two ways: by performing a data-entry on the text cub or by using the Nexel editor directly on the cells of the numerical cube.
Once each formula is entered, an automatic data-entry on the corresponding cell of the text cube will be performed and saved.
