・Improved the direction adjustment of characters at the battle starts.

・Moves, ranges and AoE areas are now initialized at the battle ends. (battle end calls, such as common events, are now supported.)

・The player display, such as invisibility or follower display, is now recorded before the battle starts and restored after the battle ends.

・SRPG UX Windows_MZ.js can now show how long the result window is displayed.

・Fixed an issue that the value of the EXP shown at the end of the battle was unintentionally offset.

・Fixed an issue that units were unintentionally able to pop at unpassable tiles when their coordinates were the same as those of other units.

・The positions of units at the battle scene are now adjusted with the UI size.

・Fixed an issue that if the app window size was extended and there was an area outside of the game display, it crashed if it used SRPG_ShowPath_MZ.js and players moved the cursor outside of the game area.

・Fixed an issue that for SRPG_MouseOperation_MZ.js, if the screen size and the UI area size were different, cursor movement was could be uncontrollable.

・Improved some touch operations.

　＊It is reported that it does not work well on some tablets. If it won't work, try making SRPG_MouseOperation_MZ.js OFF.
