TGE Errata: What bug fixes do you always apply to a fresh TGE?

Unofficial Errata for: Torque Game Engine v.1.4

There's several threads about "what favorite base resources do you always apply" to a new TGE engine. Well I keep a running list of bug-fixes I always apply to a new TGE. Many of these are 1-liners that have been around for years but apparently slipped through the cracks at GG.

In this thread I'm inviting everyone to post or link-to their simple bug fixes, so we have them all in one place. Hopefully this will not only help us but also help GG get some of these minor annoyances fixed for good!
