Fixed a crash if a self-paced reading event was also set to erase the screen at the end.
Fixed issues with text wrapping not working well, especially with left-to-right languages like Arabic and Hebrew.

Some users in Asia reported an error with SuperLab Remote saving the data file to the desktop. SuperLab will now prompt for the location of the desktop if it encounters an error.
For "Digital Output" events, the minimum pulse duration was reduced from 10ms to 3ms for the following devices: StimTracker Duo/Quad, RB-540, RB-740, RB-840, RB-844, and all c-pod models. The minimum remains the same for older models due to hardware limitations.
