Switching documents, or windows of a document, deactivates the Type tool, which clears the tool its double-click came from, so Escape after a later edit goes to the Selection tool. The field's comment and the two checklist rows now say so.
Only a double-click on type from another tool records the tool Escape and
Cmd+Enter return to, and the Type tool keeps it until another tool is
chosen. Choosing the Type tool from the toolbar records none, so Escape
goes to the Selection tool. The type and UI checklists and the doc
comments on prev_tool, end_editing and claims_key now say so.
docs/type-parity.md held four copies of the point, area and path type
row, three of them with older Escape wording. They are one row again,
with the Type Orientation sentence that only one copy had.
Two problems in the Character Styles panel and its options dialog.
Opening the options took the panel menu's item, which is easy to miss; a double-click on a style's
row did nothing beyond applying the style a second time. A double-click on a user character style's
row now opens its Character Style Options (`ui.charStyleOptions`), as the menu item does. A single
click still applies the style, the second click of the double-click does not apply it again (the
Normal style's included), and with Shift, Cmd/Ctrl or Alt held the double-click only follows the
click rules. The built-in Normal style opens no dialog. Double-clicking a paragraph style's row similarly opens
its options, which are the rename dialog the Paragraph Styles panel menu opens (`ui.paramDialog`
running `paraStyle.rename`): paragraph styles have no full options window yet.
The dialog then grew with its content: the General section lists every attribute of the style, so
the window covered the screen and its buttons could sit below it. The content now scrolls both ways
inside a window at most 420 points tall (less on a short screen) and never wider than the points
left beside the section list, with one scroll offset per section. The dialog keeps a fixed width of
720 points, enough for the widest section's controls, in every section. The content's height is the
space the footer leaves, measured from the footer drawn last frame, so a large interface scale's
taller footer is reserved too and OK and Cancel stay visible. The section list stays outside the
scroll area, so scrolling a long section never moves the navigation; the section is read after the
list handles a click, so a newly picked section gets its own scroll offset in the same frame.
Tests:
`panels::text_styles::tests::double_clicking_a_character_style_row_opens_its_options` selects text,
double-clicks a character style's row and checks the dialog opens with the style's name, one apply
ran from the first click and the second click applied nothing; a paragraph style's row opens none.
`double_clicking_the_normal_style_opens_no_options` checks the Normal style opens none and is
applied once.
`dialogs::char_style_options::tests::the_sections_scroll_in_a_window_shorter_than_the_general_list`
draws the dialog on a 900 by 560 point screen and checks OK and Cancel stay on it, the dialog keeps
its 720-point width in two sections, and the General list is taller than its scroll area.
`every_section_and_the_buttons_fit_the_smallest_window` checks the app's minimum 800 by 500 point
window in all five sections: every section label, OK and Cancel are on the screen.
`a_scrolled_section_keeps_its_offset_after_switching_away_and_back` scrolls General, clicks Basic
Character Formats and then General again, and checks General''s content returns to the same place:
the section is read after the list handles the click, so no other section stores its offset.
`every_section_and_the_buttons_fit_the_smallest_window_at_twice_the_scale` checks the same in the
400 by 250 points the minimum window holds at 2x UI scale, before and after a wheel scrolls the
content.
Docs: type-parity (a panel row and the revision history), ui-parity (a panel row and the revision
history), target-app-parity (two evidence bullets and the revision history) and roadmap (the
revision history), with the status lines updated.
With the Pen or Curvature tool, Copy and Cut ignore the anchor selection,
so that the last anchor the Pen leaves selected doesn't make Copy take just
that anchor (#2122). Anchors picked with the Direct Selection that Cmd/Ctrl
lends those tools were ignored too, and the whole path was copied.
The session now remembers the selection the lent tool leaves when it gives
the tool back. While that is still the selection, Copy and Cut take the
picked anchors and segments, as with Direct Selection chosen.
Escape and Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows and Linux) end text editing
and switch back to the tool that double-clicked into the type, or to the
Selection tool when there was none (`TypeTool::end_editing`). The
evidence lines in docs/type-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md, and the doc comments on `prev_tool` and
`claims_key`, said they always switch to the Selection tool.
A preferences file from before the Help Bar setting gets `help_bar` from
`status_bar` when it is read. A save that changed only the status bar
left `help_bar` out of the file, so the next start hid the Help Bar with
the status bar. A save now writes `help_bar` whenever the file lacks it,
and keeps a value another window saved.
Docs: the UI evidence list, the UI checklist and the M14 row record
Window > Help Bar.
The roadmap's status line and revision history now record the shape tools'
centre-point move and corner rotate (#5477), and the parity status line no
longer names the Transform tab-order fix, which is its own pull request.
A press on the centre point of the selected shape now moves the selection, as
asked (#5477), so the Constrain Angle test's repeated draws from the same point
moved the polygon drawn before them. It deselects first: nothing selected, the
press draws.
A shape just drawn keeps its bounding box with the Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle,
Ellipse, Polygon and Star tools, but its centre point (Attributes › Show Center)
did nothing and the box's handles only drew: a press anywhere started a new
shape, and with the Selection tool a press on the centre of an unfilled shape
started a marquee.
- The Selection tool now takes a press on a selected object's centre point as
the start of a move (held by that point, so it snaps and Alt copies), as
Direct Selection has since #4891. A click there still makes the object the
key object of a multi-selection.
- The shape tools take it too, and take a press in the rotate zone just outside
a bounding-box corner (the Selection tool's own zone and cursor) as the start
of a rotation about the box's centre. Live Corners widgets keep the corners
themselves, so a press on a corner still rounds it; every other press still
draws a new shape. Escape cancels, as for the Selection tool's drags.
`hit_center` moves from direct.rs to select.rs, shared by the three tools.
A review found the link lost its keyboard focus when it stopped being a tab
stop. It is focusable again, and the Control bar now keeps the link's place
between W and H but makes the button after the H field, so Tab still goes from
W straight to H and finds the link after it (as the Transform and Properties
panels already draw it). Tests: Shift+Tab goes back one field too, and a click
on the Control bar's link still toggles the preference.
The Blob Brush Tool Options test that expected two Tabs between the Roundness
field and the tip preview now expects one, as every field does. Docs: the Tab
entry in target-app-parity.md, both revision histories and the M1 milestone.
Part of #4684 (unify the UI with PhotoCraft). The Home screen's welcome,
New / Open buttons and Community block are centred, as PhotoCraft's
Home screen is, and the large Discord button takes the theme's accent
instead of Discord's own colour. Preset cards, Recent Files and the
wording are unchanged.
Still open from #4684: shortcut hints on the Home buttons, PhotoCraft's
PRO and STUDIO themes, the Preferences layout and the title bar.

A file that takes longer than 0.4 s to open shows a modal progress window
with its name, a moving bar (reading reports no steps), how many more
files wait, Cancel (file.cancelOpen: the file doesn't open) and Continue
in Background (file.openInBackground). It never opens over another dialog
or progress window.
A straight segment dragged with Direct Selection or Group Selection snapped the
point it was pressed at to a grid intersection, leaving both of its anchors off
the grid. With Snap to Grid or Snap to Pixel on, the box round the moved anchors
now lands an edge on a gridline on each axis, as a moved object's does; Shift
keeps the move on its line. A dragged anchor still lands on an intersection.
With the Artboard tool, the Properties panel now starts with a Transform
section: the reference point shared with the Transform panel and the
Control bar, the active artboard's X and Y (of that point), W and H with
the Constrain Width and Height Proportions link, its preset and
orientation, and Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard. The Artboards
section follows with the name, Artboard Options and Fill. A new W or H
now keeps the reference point in place, as in the Transform panel.
The Control bar's Stroke: and Opacity: and the Properties panel's Stroke
are links to their panels, so a drag on them did nothing while every
other field label scrubbed its field. A drag on such a link now scrubs
the field after it (same steps and modifiers, one undo step, Escape
cancels); a click still opens the panel, and the link's text is not
selected by the drag.
Inner Glow clipped to the art's outline and bled in from outside it; for a
placed image that outline is the frame, so a PNG with transparent areas
glowed along the frame's edge, over pixels that don't show. For an image the
glow is now cast by its pixels' alpha (everything around them, blurred, or
the pixels themselves with Center) and kept to where the image shows, as
much as it shows.
One selected radial, grid or mirror repeat (or one object of its source
art in isolation mode) shows a Repeat Options button in the Properties
panel's Quick Actions. It runs Object › Repeat › Options, opening the
Repeat Options dialog with the repeat's current values.
Direct Selection kept only one picked point of a blend's spine. Shift-click
now adds a point of the same spine or takes it away, and dragging any picked
point moves them all. object.blend.spine.moveAnchor takes `with`, the other
points to move by as much, with the key objects on them, in one undo step.
The Join tool drew a segment between the open ends of two crossing paths
instead of trimming what overhangs the crossing. path.joinScrub now looks for
two crossing open subpaths whose overhanging ends the scrub runs over, cuts
both at the crossing and joins the kept parts there with a corner, in one undo
step. Without a crossing the endpoint join is unchanged.
