Changes compared to v3.0.22:

* The "+" (Add) control in the text layer and annotations editor is now
   disabled until a rectangle has been drawn or selected, and shows a
   tooltip explaining that one is needed, instead of silently doing
   nothing or placing a box at an unpredictable position.
* You can now draw the selection rectangle directly in the text layer or
   annotations pane, as well as on the image. A single rectangle is
   shared between the image and the layer panes, so adding or correcting
   a slice no longer requires drawing it on the image tab first.
* The selection rectangle is no longer remembered across application
   launches. A stale selection from a previous session is no longer drawn
   over a freshly opened document, so you can start selecting immediately
   instead of having to clear a leftover box first. The selection still
   persists while you work, e.g. across page changes, within a session.
* Cropping no longer fails with a confusing internal error when the
   selection is invalid (e.g. has zero or negative width). An empty or
   corrupted selection is rejected with a clear message instead of
   leaving the page unchanged mid-operation.
* A page that no longer exists in the document (for example one lost
   after an interrupted scan) is now removed from the page list the first
   time it fails to load, instead of being reported as missing on every
   display. The view shows a valid page (or clears if none remain), and
   the remaining pages are renumbered to stay consecutive.
* Fix error preventing running OCR from Tools menu
