Some more assorted observations and requests:
Odd numbered shifts are accepted on bounded grids for Margolus rules. I'm not sure if this is intended or not since everything seems to work fine, but I thought I'd bring this up due to the fact that odd widths are explicitly disallowed for Margolus rules. Similarly, bounded grids with twisted edges are also permitted, which I'm not sure is intentional - I'd think something similar would apply where the width should be odd for twisted edges, but I haven't thought this through as much.

For these two square Klein bottle patterns, the top's formatting changes to "K30*" when saved, whereas the bottom becomes "K30,30*". Is this an agreed-upon convention for Klein bottle bounded grid notation, or is it unwanted behaviour carrying over from square tori?

I also think that reverse playback should be enabled for the none rule as well: since patterns don't evolve, every pattern must necessarily be its own parent and own predecessor, and as such the rule is trivially a reversible rule.

Would it be possible for "Info Bar" to be moved from Display into Advanced, and "Integer Zoom" to be moved from General into Display? I often find myself going into Display looking for the Integer Zoom option while forgetting that's not where it is. Info Bar displays technical information, so it'd make more sense if it was accessible through the same menu as Frame Times and Timing Details.

Finally, why do [R]Super rules have distinct 2-state and multi-state random fill options, whereas [R]History rules only have a single random fill option? I'm not sure I see the use in [R]Super's multistate random fill button since [R]Super is intended for the analysis of two-state rules and their behaviour, so the only random fill button that should be there is one that randomly fills the selection with your chosen drawing state.
