Code Editor preferences for colors and fonts have changed

Several changes have occurred with the introduction of themes. Colors and fonts are now set on the theme level, and you can no longer override the font family and size for a language as a whole.

If you have customized the colors and fonts preferences, read the Themes preferences topic to better understand any changes you need to implement.

The padding of objects uses the background color of the object

In previous versions of the report designer, the padding of an object used the background color of the parent object. In 3.20, the padding of an object uses the background color of the object itself.
