oops little bug....no "add object" (the plus button is greyed out) when in editing mode

[timothyschoen]

I noticed this, but it's only this way on Windows, and it's a total mystery to me how this can happen... I might replace the windows versions with one where I just manually flip it, but that's obviously not ideal...

[timothyschoen]

I've uploaded a new version where I flipped it but it turns out it's not really flipped, now the behaviour is just weird. I will fix this very soon, and update the Windows binaries...

I've had more problems with using juce::Value on Windows, I hope it's not causing any other bugs...

should be fixed now!
