Editor UI: The Rich Text feature ignores text input changes, if there are no rich test elements added or removed, This has been fixed.

Administrator UI: Mesh browser opens the editor for the multilingual item (page/image/file) inconsistently, so that its particular language variant could have never been reached. This has been fixed.

to restrict the returned construct categories to the ones that have at least one construct which is assigned to the given node.
