+* [Issue #84](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/issues/84) - Side effects of `win32_fix_title_bar_background` with `QGraphicsEffect` active
 * [Issue #82](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/issues/82) - Autodoc extension: translation of generic documentation text
   * Initially, the generic documentation text like "Returns a new instance of" was translated using the `gettext` function.
   * This was a mistake, as this text should be translated only after the documentation has been generated, i.e. by the `sphinx-intl` tool.
   * In other words, translating those generic texts should be done in the application documentation, not in the library itself.
   * To fix this issue, the generic documentation text is no longer translated using `gettext`, but is left as is in the source code.

 * [Issue #80](https://github.com/PlotPyStack/guidata/issues/80) - `ValueError` when trying to show/edit an empty array
