• Fixed the highlight color in the terminal
• Fixed the right panel closing when dismissing the settings dialog

We've upgraded the terminal in Conductor!

Sessions now persist when navigating between workspaces; we also squashed several terminal bugs.

Fixes

• Fixed default padding in dialogs
• Fixed a bug where the composer would cover more text than necessary
• Fixed a bug where workspaces wouldn't be reset to idle state on app restart
• Fixed a bug where certain workspaces wouldn't load due to an infinite rendering loop
