Pin craft-ui to c4b8405d, which adds a top edge and the canvas-side top
corner to icon-strip flyouts and saves the moved top per group. Accept
its new MoveFlyoutTop docking action, and restore the saved top when a
group returns to its place. A docking regression checks the cursors, an
upward top-edge and free-corner drag with the bottom and icon-column edge
fixed, and the top after reopening and in a saved layout.

The Brushes rows name each type as the New Brush dialog does (Art Brush,
Scatter Brush) and say "missing from the Brushes panel" for a brush the
panel does not hold. The panel now shows these values through the
catalogs, so a localized interface no longer shows them in English.
document.info and the saved report keep them in English. Every catalog
gets a row for "missing from the Brushes panel"; the type names already
had rows.
A readable library's id was kept whole after any character outside a
short list, so in `/a+/project/libs/Kit.gpl` the id
`/project/libs/Kit.gpl` was kept and the hidden `/libs/Kit.gpl` inside
it showed in the reply. The same happened after `@`, `=`, `%` and `!`.
The id now stays only at the start of the text, after a space, a
quote, `,`, `;` or an opening bracket, or in a local `file:` URL.
Written with its `loaded/`, it also stays after `=`.
A reply hid a hidden library's absolute path wherever it appeared, also
inside another loaded library's id when the match began after the id's
start. With `/libs/Kit.gpl` hidden, the readable id
`loaded//project/libs/Kit.gpl` came back as `loaded//projectKit.gpl`,
and a request that used it failed.
Each whole readable id in a reply (with or without `loaded/`, or in a
`file:` URL with no host or `localhost`) is now found first, and a
hidden id or path that lies inside it stays. The same path after a
drive or in a URL with another host is still hidden.
- A Learn link that locates a tool on a toolbar made with New Toolbar
brings that toolbar to the front once before its button is marked, so
another floating toolbar no longer covers the mark. A group torn off
into a strip still brings the strip to the front instead.
- A docked flyout whose rows are taller than the window scrolls them, and
a Learn link scrolls the located row into view before marking it. The
mark is clipped to the rows' view.
A path inside a compound path given in ids was replaced by a group inside the
compound path, which reads its members as paths, so the edges did not draw. The
compound path is now expanded in its place. The panel's Quick Actions show on
the Object tab of Revolve (Classic), not on its Rotation tab, as for the other
effects with an Object tab.
When a repeated or reflected gradient needs more stops than a limit
allows, each run now leaves out the stops that change its colors
least, so every run is still written, instead of writing fewer runs
and padding the rest with the last color. Each run keeps its ends,
sharp steps, swatch-linked stops, tint and CMYK ink changes and spans
shaped by an off-center midpoint, and the colors are compared as the
gradient's method mixes them. This applies to gradients along or across
a stroke, CSS conic gradients, and PDF, EPS and .ai export.
- Outline Stroke's mesh fits the gradient to at most 1,024 stops, and
splits a stroke into several meshes when one would hold more than
2^20 points.
- Object > Expand leaves a gradient as it is when the box needs more
than 256 runs, instead of expanding only the first runs.
- CSS writes the stop positions of repeating gradients with four
decimals, so the period stays in place across the box.
- A swatch chip of a gradient that repeats gets at least four grid
cells a run along each side (at most one a point, and 128), so it
does not show one color when the count matches the chip's cells.
- docs/mcp.md states the stop limits and the PDF import sample budget.
When a Tabs panel indent marker gave the paragraphs of a threaded story
values of their own, the panel sent one text.setFormat for each
paragraph, and the story flowed through its frames again after every
one of them. text.setFormat now takes paragraphIndents, a list of
{id, start, leftIndent?, firstLineIndent?} entries, one per paragraph.
It checks every entry before it changes anything, rebuilds each type
object's paragraph styles once and makes the whole change one edit, so
the story flows again once. The markers send one such command inside
the same labeled command.batch, and a drag that changes no paragraph
runs nothing.
- With the Selection tool, a marker drag on any frame of a threaded
story now sets every paragraph of the story, in its locked and hidden
frames too.
- The single-value form of text.setFormat fails, naming the key, when a
number such as leftIndent is given as a string, a switch or a list.
- A null value of any text.setFormat attribute leaves it as it is, as an
omitted one does. A call whose attributes are all null fails with
"nothing to change" and records no edit and no undo step.
- A text.setFormat call whose values are the ones the text already has
returns its ids and records no edit, no undo step and no new revision.

The canvas cache key held the process-wide placed-document bitmap
generation, so a bitmap made for a file that only another document holds
changed every document's key, and the next frame differed from the
frame shown in more than the view. In the web build, which has no render
worker, a heavy canvas then rendered in the middle of a pan instead of
waiting until the view was still. On desktop the pan dropped its
low-resolution fill, and the render worker did not copy pixels from its
last frame.
Each document now keeps its own value, checked once per generation
change, as the plug-in key is. The value moves to the current generation
when the document shows a placed document of a file whose bitmap was
made. A file kept only for Undo does not count. When more bitmaps were
made since the last check than are recorded, the value moves when the
document shows a placed document of one of its images. After the
value moves, the part of the frame to draw again comes from the bitmaps
made since the last check before the move, so bitmaps made earlier for
other documents no longer make the whole frame render.
The canvas tests that retried or tolerated a new frame when another test
made a bitmap now assert without those workarounds.
Edit > Assign Profile wrote the profiles it assigned into the working
settings of Edit > Color Settings. Color Settings then showed the
assigned profile as the working space, and the next change in Color
Settings saved that profile for the next start.
The working settings are now kept apart from the settings in effect.
Assign Profile still makes the profiles it assigns the ones colors show
and convert through, and assigning none puts the working space back.
Color Settings shows and saves only the working settings, and a change
there keeps the profiles the document in front is assigned in use.
color.removeProfile refuses only a working space: removing an assigned
profile in use puts the working space in its place, and loading that
profile again puts it back in use.

Several rows of Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts had the same group and label,
so a user could not tell them apart: the four Window › Other Library…
commands, File › New… (file.new and file.newDialog), Type › Fit
Headline (text.fitHeadline and type.fitHeadline), Ui › Reset Panel (the
character and paragraph style options) and File › Continue in
Background (export and open).
Rows that would share an English name now take a name of their own:
- a command that an item of the menu bar runs is listed under that
item's menu path, for example Window › Swatch Libraries › Other
Library…;
- a command whose id extends another command's id is listed under that
command's label, for example Character Style Options › Reset Panel;
- the rows that still share a name show their id after it, except the
one row an item of the menu bar runs, so File › New… stays the New
Document dialog's row and file.new is File › New… (file.new). Two
filter plug-ins with the same menu path and label show their ids too.
shortcuts.list gives the new group of the first two kinds of rows in
`group`. The dialog's search finds a row by the id it shows. A message
about a shortcut that is already in use names every row that has it by
its whole name, with its group, instead of its label alone.
view.proofSetup, view.proofColors, view.overprintPreview and
view.separationsPreview stored the proof view and raised every open
document's revision on each run. They did this also when the request
asked for the view that was already showing, for example Proof Colors on
while it is on, or Proof Setup with no params. Each such run redrew every
canvas. When the active document's revision changes, the canvas also
sends a tool that asks for it a new hover event, although the pointer has
not moved.
- The four commands compare the new proof view with the current one. When
the two are equal, the commands leave the view and the revisions as
they are. Separations Preview's visible plates are compared as a set,
so the same plates in another order do not redraw.
- view.separationsPreview with `plates` naming a plate twice shows it
once, so one `toggle` of that plate hides it.
- color.loadProfile with a new file of the CMYK profile that Proof Setup
targets gives the documents new revisions, as it does for a working
space. Before, running Proof Setup again redrew the documents through
the new file; it now leaves an unchanged view alone.
- color.removeProfile gives the documents new revisions only when Proof
Setup targets the removed profile.
Paragraph panel menu > Bunri-Kinshi (with the East Asian options) and
text.setFormat {bunriKinshi} turn it on per paragraph. A line then
never breaks inside two em dashes, two horizontal ellipses, two two-dot
leaders or the two halves of a vertical kana repeat mark, the pairs W3C
JLREQ lists for class cl-08 (https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#cl-08), nor
inside a chain of em dashes. Both composers, vertical type, Kinsoku
Shori Type, hyphenation and No Break follow it, and a pair wider than
the line stays whole on it. Justification and letter spacing add no
space inside a pair.
The setting works only with a Kinsoku Set: with Kinsoku Set None the
paragraph keeps the value without effect and the menu item is
unavailable. It is off by default, saved with the paragraph only when
on, carried by paragraph styles (Paragraph Style Options > East Asian
Composition Settings), and turned off by Reset Panel. A value that is
not true or false is refused. The .ai editing data has no field for it,
so saving reports a paragraph with it on and a pair in it as left out.

A tool step in the Learn panel now draws the tool's name as a link. Clicking
it, or pressing Enter or Space on it, runs the new learn.locateTool command,
which marks the tool where the current layout shows it without choosing it
(the help page:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/learn-skills-quick-skill-guide.html).
- A tool shown on its toolbar button has the button marked, and a toolbar
that has scrolled it out of view scrolls it back.
- A tool in a collapsed group opens the group's flyout with its row marked;
the group keeps the tool it shows.
- A group torn off into a strip comes to the front with the tool marked.
- Toolbars made with New Toolbar are searched after the Tools panel.
- A tool that no shown toolbar holds is marked in the All Tools drawer.
- A Tools panel hidden with Window › Tools shows again. In Presentation
Mode, or while Tab hides the toolbars, the reply is "unavailable" with a
reason.
- The mark is a 2 pt outline in the selection color. It lasts 3 seconds,
until Escape (also when Escape closes the All Tools drawer), or until the
next link replaces it. These are VectorCraft's own rules.
The command takes a tool id and rejects a missing, non-string or unknown id.
Catalog steps mark the linked name in brackets, and the catalog test checks
that each one names its tool. Rows for the command and the link's hover text
are added to every complete catalog.

SVG Options gets an Include Variable Data checkbox (the `variableData`
option, off by default). With it on, the saved SVG carries the document's
text variables, its data sets' text values and each text variable's bound
type object as a `variableSets` element, in the layout Load Variable
Library already reads. A bound object is named by its element id in a
`docRef="id('...')"` attribute; an object without an id gets one.
Opening such an SVG reads the variable data back: the text variables, the
data sets (none active) and the bindings, so choosing a data set changes
the type again. Variable data that Load Variable Library would refuse is
left out with a warning, and the art opens. Markup that only looks like
the element (in comments, CDATA sections, processing instructions or the
document type declaration) is skipped.
Variables of other kinds, names XML can't hold, more than 256 text
variables or 1,000 data sets, and variable data over 8 MiB or 2,000,000
XML nodes are left out of the file, each with a warning. Type written as
outlines opens as art, so its variables are written unbound, with a
warning.
