Hi,
See the explanation in changelog :
- A Tree window can be opened for each base through the command tools-> open
base as tree. So now the meaning of "locked" for a tree window has changed.
This used to mean display information of *this* base in the Tree window, but
now it means, if the Tree window is locked, that closing the Tree implies
closing the associated base. This seems natural because using "open base as
tree" means the user wants to get a kind of "book/tree" and not really a
base. So it makes sense to link base's fate to tree's one.

It works for me.

there are several points here, and indeed, spellcheck needs some extra
work. Among others :
- add some user feedback for lengthy processes;
- the 2000 is a hard limit that should be user configurable, I agree,
- when the name correction is performed, consistency checks are done, and
some corrections will be skipped (if there the date of a game is 1950 and
the player is born in 1960 for example). The same corrections will be
presented the next time a spell check is triggered, filling the top of the
list.
Any volunteer to correct those Scid bugs ?
