Fixes

Rare interface freezing while displaying the operation progress
All file selection was working incorrectly when folders as icons modes were active in the recovery results window

NTFS scanner stability issues when deallocated objects were found by Disk Drill

Minor interface glitches when certain panels were displayed in macOS 10.15
Sometimes when the scan was resumed, the “Recover all” and “Review found” items buttons disappeared

The drive temperature indicator wasn’t always displaying correct visuals
