Improved history scrolling, searching, and filter switching when large text entries are present.

Fixed an issue where custom accent colors could reset to black or white after editing list entries, ensuring selected colors now persist correctly.
The ignored apps list now only preloads apps that are actually available on your Mac, avoiding missing icons or unavailable entries on older macOS versions.
