A gradient vector drawn on the art, a click that applies one, and the
dragged start and end handles snapped through snap_draw, which gathers
the bounds and anchors of the art only. Path segments, View › Snap to
Glyph's guides and the construction guides through the vector's start
did not pull them, and a click applied the gradient from the pointer
rather than from the snapped point. They now snap through DrawSnap, as
the Pen and Line Segment tools do:
- The press gathers the targets, for a vector drawn on the art and the
start and end handles only, and the drag keeps them. A click applies
the gradient from the snapped press.
- A dragged end or handle leaves its start as a Line Segment's end does:
it lands on the construction guides through the start, and with Shift
it keeps to 45° steps from the Constrain Angle and snaps along them.
- The pointer hovering where a press would draw a vector (anywhere with
art selected, over art with nothing selected), and not over the
annotator, shows the guides of the point the vector would start on.
A press that snaps onto a nearby target no longer starts the drag
early: the 3 px drag threshold counts from where the pointer was
pressed, not from the snapped start.
With Smart Guides on, the Dimension tool's second point snapped onto the
construction guides through the first point (Smart Guides › Construction
Guides), so a click beside a segment straight below a first point that
was not on an anchor stayed on the vertical guide instead of landing on
the segment.
The second point now has no construction guides through a first point
that is not on an anchor. After a first point picked on an anchor, the
construction guides through it still apply. The second point still snaps
to anchors, centers and alignment lines, and with Snap to Perpendicular
or Snap to Tangent on it lands where the line from the first point meets
a segment square or grazes a curve.

With Cmd (Ctrl) held, the Bucket's presses go to the selection tool Cmd
lends, but the double-click and triple-click that follow reached the
Bucket and painted. They now paint nothing, as with Alt.
A triple-click whose clicks land on a face, another face, then the first
face again matched the fill the first click gave that face. It now
matches the fill the face had before the first click that painted it, as
the tool's doc comment and docs/mcp.md say.
- With Space held for the view tools, the Live Paint Bucket outlines no
face or edge, as a press there paints nothing.
- A scoped livePaint.fill or livePaint.strokeEdge where every face or
edge reached already has the paint records no undo step; a test covers
it, and one where only some faces need the paint.
- An MCP test drives the bucket through ui.pointer with mods.space.
- The tool's doc comment and the progress line state the rule.
Dragging out a dimension from a segment (Linear) or a corner (Angular)
drew its first preview frame at the wrong distance. The preview placed
the dimension at the pointer before reading the segment's end points or
the corner from the art, and measured the offset from the placeholder
points the dimension starts with. A drag from the top edge of a
rectangle to 40 pt above it showed an offset of 60 instead of -40.
The preview now clears the offset, reads the art's points, places the
dimension at the pointer and checks the result. Clearing the offset
keeps an out-of-range offset from the last pointer position from
failing the read.
Tests: the segment and corner drag-out tests fail without the change.
placement_recovers_after_a_position_out_of_range also passes on main;
it fails when only the offset clear is removed.
Changing Preferences › Hyphenation › Exceptions bumped each open
document's revision, but the caches of laid-out type outside the text
crate were keyed on the font generation alone. The renderer kept the
glyph geometry, raster-effect pixels, live-effect and envelope art,
pattern tiles and placed symbol art of unchanged type objects, so
hyphenated area type kept its old line breaks on the canvas. The
hit-test art of blends and envelopes, the Fit to Artwork Bounds answer,
the layout caches of the Type and Touch Type tools and the out port's
overflow mark were keyed the same way.
vectorcraft_text::layout_inputs() returns a number that changes with
the fonts and with the hyphenation exceptions. Every one of those
caches now keys on it instead of FontDb::generation(), and envelope ink
uses it in place of the private envelope_ink_inputs(). The hit-test key
hashes it together with the plug-in revision.
Tests: a renderer that drew hyphenated area type, alone, with a drop
shadow, in a group with a Transform effect, in a symbol instance and in
an envelope, draws it as a new renderer does after the exceptions
change; the out port of selected area type shows the overflow that the
new exceptions cause. The render test helpers that run a step again
when the fonts change during it now also run it again when the
exceptions change.
The Parametric Shape tool's center and the Slice tool's corners snapped
with Smart Guides to the bounds of the art only, so View › Snap to Glyph
had no effect on them, and neither did the anchors and segments of
paths that the other drawing tools snap to. The point dragged out from a
Parametric Shape's center did not snap at all, and neither tool showed
Smart Guides while hovering before a press.
Both tools now snap through the drawing tools' shared snapping
(DrawSnap). A Parametric Shape's center (from a drag or a double-click),
the point dragged out from it, and a slice's corners land on glyph
guides and on path anchors and segments. The guides show while hovering
and during the drag. When a ruler guide then takes a slice corner, the
Smart Guides are no longer shown. A click with the Parametric Shape tool
still draws nothing when its center snaps a few pixels from the pointer.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Shape Builder had no hover_ended, so when the pointer left the canvas
(for a panel, out of the window, under a menu or dialog), the region or
stroke highlight and the Cursor Swatch Preview chips stayed where the
pointer was last seen. A map of a large selection that arrived afterwards
also highlighted the region under that old point again. When the hover
ends, the tool now drops the highlight, the stroke a click would split and
the preview, and forgets the point.
The Live Paint Selection tool had the same gap: its face or edge
highlight now goes too.
A double-click or triple-click compares the paint the face or edge had
before the first of its last clicks that painted it. A first click that
made the Live Paint group counts only when the face it filled is that
face, so clicks that move from one face to another no longer match the
paint under the first click.
With Space held for the view tools, a press, a double-click or a
triple-click with the Live Paint Bucket paints nothing.
The ui.pointer row in docs/control-protocol.md escapes the pipes in its
parameters cell, so the table keeps three columns.
The test for a triple-click whose first click makes the group now also
builds the planar map from the same two paths and checks that the face
at the click takes its fill from the square. The doc comment of the
double-click flood names the three points it checks along each edge
segment.
- After a fill drag, the Live Paint Bucket stores the release point, so the
cursor swatch preview shows there instead of where the pointer last moved
before the press.
- Arrow nudges and Alt+arrow type spacing read Shift and Alt from the key
press, as the tool keys do, so a modifier released within the same frame
still makes a 10 pt nudge, a copy, or a spacing step.
- tool.setOption accepts cursorSwatchPreview for the Live Paint Bucket and
refuses a value that is not true or false.
- A face outline segment that runs along several edge segments (the
face has no corner where a crossing line splits the edge) now joins
the face to every edge segment it runs along, not only the one under
its middle, so a double-click flood no longer stops there.
- The first click of a triple-click on selected paths, which makes the
Live Paint group, takes the fill to match from the paths' closed
subpaths only, as the group's faces do; an open path in front no
longer gives the wrong fill.
The Pencil's and the Paintbrush's new-path, continue, close and straight-line
cursors are drawn on the crosshair already; Precise Cursors no longer turns
them into the plain crosshair, so the badge still says what the press or the
release does.
A double-click with the Live Paint Selection tool on a face now selects
that face and the faces of its group that no stroked edge parts from it:
the selection floods across edges that are hidden or draw no stroke, and
hidden faces are left out. On an edge (Alt-double-click, or a
double-click with Select Fills off) it selects the edge and the edges of
its group joined to it end to end that draw with the same stroke paint.
With Shift held, the faces or edges reached leave the selection or join
it. The tool options, locks and isolation mode apply as they do to a
click.
The reach is computed by two read-only functions in the builder lookup
module, flood_faces and connected_edges, so the Live Paint commands can
use the same rules. An edge's stroke paint is the paint of its topmost
stroke that draws. Face outlines are matched to edges within the planar
map's precision, and edges join only at the ends of their subpaths.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The continuation cursor (a short rising line) shows over an open end of a
selected path before any press, freehand too, and while a continuing stroke
nears an open end of another selected path it connects to. The straight-line
cursor becomes a short level line. A stroke continuing a path, a straight line
too, shows the closing ring within Close Paths When Ends Are Within of the
path's other end, and the release closes it; path.freehand takes the tool's
closed for extend instead of its own four-Fidelity distance.
With the Live Paint Bucket, a double-click on a face fills it and every
face reached across edges that are hidden or draw no stroke; a stroked
edge, a hidden face and a Gap Detection gap stop it. On an edge, a
double-click paints the edges joined to it end to end with the same
stroke paint. A triple-click fills every face of the group with the
clicked face's fill, or paints every edge with the clicked edge's
stroke. Shift and the Paint Fills and Paint Strokes options choose a
face or an edge as for a click; Alt held paints nothing.
- livePaint.fill and livePaint.strokeEdge take scope ("one", the
default, "connected" or "samePaint") and match, the paint compared,
and reply with count. A bad scope or match is an error, and scope
with a drag's points is refused.
- Each click of a double-click or triple-click paints as it arrives,
as its own undo step. For a triple-click, and for a double-click on
an edge, the tool sends as match the paint the face or edge had
before the first of those clicks, including a first click that makes
the Live Paint group from the selected paths. A double-click on a
face sends no match.
- PointerKind::TripleClick is new: the canvas sends it on egui's
triple-click unless a modal dialog is open, as for a double-click,
and ui.pointer and pointer_gesture take "tripleclick".

Live Paint Bucket Options gets a Cursor Swatch Preview checkbox (on at
first, saved with the other options). With the Bucket selected, Left and
Right set the active fill, or the stroke when the Stroke proxy is in
front, to the color swatch before or after it in the Swatches panel,
wrapping around at the ends, with the preview on or off. The selected art
keeps its paint. The preview shows the active paint above the pointer
between the swatches before and after it; a color that is no swatch shows
alone until Right picks the first swatch or Left the last, and a paint
that is not a solid color shows no chip. The chips hide during a fill
drag and while Alt samples with the eyedropper. The fill and the stroke
each remember the swatch picked for them, so swatches of the same color
are each reached in turn.
The Bucket and the Shape Builder now take the arrows for swatches only
without Shift, Alt or Cmd/Ctrl, judged by the modifiers held when the key
went down, so modified arrows keep their shortcuts
(Tool::claims_key_with, Session::tool_claims_key_with).
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, tool.options params text.
The Smooth tool showed its own cursor with nothing selected, though a
drag then changes nothing. It now shows Not Allowed until a path it can
act on is selected (an editable path, not a guide, with three or more
anchors on one of its subpaths); a selected path anywhere on the canvas
gives the Smooth cursor wherever the pointer is.
- The Pencil with Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool on and the Blob Brush
show Not Allowed the same way when Alt gives them the Smooth tool. The
Paintbrush keeps its closing cursor, since its release with Alt closes
the stroke.
- A Smooth release, from the Smooth tool or from the Pencil, Paintbrush
or Blob Brush with Alt, sends path.smoothRegion only while such a path
is selected. With only type or other objects selected it sends no
command.
- Use Precise Cursors leaves Not Allowed as it is.
- The cursor catalog and docs/target-app-parity.md describe the rule.
The outline of the area a Blob Brush or Eraser drag covers was outlined
again for the whole stroke on every frame, so a long stroke slowed the
canvas as it grew.
- The drag is outlined in pieces of up to 32 segments (one segment each
with Size set to Pressure), and a frame outlines again only the pieces
it added segments to. A grid of squares lists the segments near each
square, and each piece's outline drops the parts inside the rest of
the area, so the pieces show as one edge.
- One frame takes at most 256 new points and a fixed amount of work;
Tool::overlays_pending makes the canvas draw again until the rest is
done with the pointer still. Points not outlined yet show as a thin
line, and the tip shows at the pointer.
- The settled outline is kept in joined paths of 64 pieces, and a frame
joins again only the paths that changed. The grid's size is capped.
- The Blob Brush's length label and the Size-by-pressure check keep
running values instead of rescanning the stroke each frame. With Size
set to Pressure the outline shows only the edge of the whole area.
The release sends the same path.blob and path.eraseRegion parameters.
tool.setOption for the Live Paint Bucket, the Live Paint Selection tool
and the Shape Builder used to keep the old value when a switch was not
true or false, a color could not be read or a width or gap length was
not a number, and it set the other values sent with it. It also took
the RGB of a color with an alpha part, and the Shape Builder took any
`pickColorFrom` other than `swatches` as `artwork` and any `selection`
other than `straightLine` as `freeform`.
The command now checks every value before it sets any, whether the tool
is chosen or not: a switch must be true or false, a highlight color
must be an RGB color or a layer color's name without an alpha part, a
width or gap length must be a number, `pickColorFrom` and `selection`
must be one of their names, and an option the tool does not have is an
error. The error names the option, and nothing is set or saved. A width
outside 1 to 20 and a gap length outside 0 to 72 are still clamped, and
saved settings with an invalid value still load.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A Smooth drag along the middle of a curved segment smoothed nothing when
neither of the segment's anchors was within the reach, and paths of two
anchors were never smoothed.
- path.smoothRegion searches each curved segment where it can come
within the reach, halving it down to pieces no longer than half the
reach, and adds an anchor in the middle of each stretch in reach; the
existing reach split then cuts the segment where the drag enters and
leaves the reach. A drag that only grazes a curve finds the place on
it nearest the drag. The search is bounded per drag and shared
equally by the segments in reach.
- Paths of two anchors are smoothed, open or closed.
- Alt with the Paintbrush smooths a selected two-anchor curve; a
two-anchor straight line still gets the closed stroke. Both sides use
one segment_is_straight test.
Part of #2224
- The clipping path of a clip group or a clipped layer takes no part,
the members of a compound clipping path included. Before, only a
plain clipping path was left out.
- In isolation mode only paths inside the isolated object are trimmed;
paths outside it still count as crossing.
- A rectangle or line that reaches so many paths that comparing their
boxes would take more than 50,000,000 tests is refused before any
work starts.
- A tool drag that goes 3 screen pixels or more from the press stays a
rectangle or line when it ends near the press. Before, it ran as a
click and could remove a whole path the final rectangle did not
touch.
Docs: docs/mcp.md.
While the Smooth tool drags with a path selected that it can smooth, a
dashed outline shows the band its release smooths: every point within
the tool's radius (12 screen pixels) of the drag, round at both ends.
Alt smoothing with the Pencil, Paintbrush and Blob Brush shows the same
band. A selection with no path the tool can change shows none.
- The band is kept in squares eight radii wide, and each step of the
drag adds its area only to the squares it reaches. A piece of a
square's outline along a side is left out only where the square
across holds band area.
- A drag segment too long for the squares (a jump drawn zoomed out and
viewed zoomed in) keeps its band near each end in the squares and
shows the rest as the two sides of its band. A step that cannot be
added whole is added one segment at a time.
- A coarser grid of cells lists the squares and long segments, so a new
one is checked only against those near it, and an outline is made
again only where the band near it changed.
- After a zoom change mid-drag the band is outlined again a few hundred
points per frame, and the work on long segments stops for the frame
after a fixed budget. Tools report unfinished overlays with
Tool::overlays_pending, and the canvas then draws again on the next
frame, so the band covers the whole drag even while the pointer holds
still.
