Fixed

Context menus were misplaced (and by that we mean, completely absent) for a few unlucky folks. They’re in the right place now.Like a low-budget horror film, a monstrous variety of crashes creeped into the 2.0 update, most of which have been sent back to the swamp.Downloaded files of the same name will no longer overwrite each other.If snapped to the left or right of your screen, Slack would develop a case of acute amnesia and reset position when restarted.
