Anything else?

Version 2.3.1 and previous often crashes when the Wi-Fi connection drops and it tries to send a print job. Also, Windows does not switch the language when multiple instances of the program are running and you press the hotkeys as usual. If you press them slowly, one at a time, it does switch.
