A double-click on a Repeat (Radial, Grid or Mirror) with the Selection tool enters isolation mode on it ([isolate objects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/select-objects/isolate-objects.html): a double-click with the Selection tool isolates an object; [repeat patterns overview](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/create-and-edit-patterns/repeat-patterns-overview.html): every instance follows edits to the original object); there the source art is selected and edited as usual (a double-click on type in it switches to the Type tool on that text) and every copy follows, with the repeat's settings kept (#5054). Test: `tests::repeat_edit::a_double_click_on_a_repeat_isolates_it_to_edit_its_text`.
## Area type: vertical alignment in the Properties and Control panels (2026-11-04)
With area type selected, the Properties panel's Paragraph section and the Control panel show Align Top, Align Center, Align Bottom and Justify Vertically buttons, as the public documentation places them ([Align text](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/edit-format-text/align-text.html)). They set the type's vertical alignment in its frame (`text.areaOptions {verticalAlign}`, as Area Type Options does) on every selected frame in one undo step, each frame keeping its other options; the shared alignment shows selected, none when the frames differ (#3759). As that page limits vertical alignment to area type without rows, columns or threads, the buttons are turned off while a selected frame has rows or columns or is threaded; Area Type Options and `text.areaOptions` still align each row/column cell (a VectorCraft extension, unchanged here). Tests: `panels::properties::tests::vertical_alignment_buttons_align_the_selected_area_type`.
