Bug Fixes
Messengers
- Fixed a bug which caused asset counts to become unreliable when using the Edits menu to filter to Edits in situations where one of the Edits in the menu was derived from a LIVE Messenger.
- Addressed a configuration issue which caused LIVE Messengers to have different default sort orders when sent from Collections compared to Projects.

- Resolved a bug which could cause certain Messengers to display more assets on the initial page load than intended.
