A shape tool now takes a press as a bounding-box handle's only on the
drawn handle square, kept square to the screen: 3 screen points from the
handle's centre along each axis at the default Anchor Size, a half point
more or less per step. A press just beside a handle draws a new shape.
drawing_gestures_snap_to_smart_guides started its second rectangle on the
first rectangle's corner handle, which stays selected; it now deselects
first.
After File > Open the status bar showed only the first of the import's
notes. A file whose layers weren't read could give another note first:
the EPS reader adds its note about brushes left out of the Brushes panel
before the note that the file came in as its page, so the status bar
named the brushes and not the page.
The status bar now names the first note that says reading the file left
something out (the notes that make Save ask before writing over the
file), else the first note, and still counts them all. When there are
several, hovering the message lists them in that order, translated where
the catalogs have them, as many as fit in the window and at most 30,
then how many more. Screen readers get the list after the message. The
status bar shows the list only while it shows the open's message. The
open's reply keeps its notes in the import's order.

Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate take a Shadows switch on the
Lighting tab, with Position (Behind Object or Below Object), Distance from
Object (0 to 100%) and Shadow Bounds (10 to 400%), saved in the effect as
shadow, shadowPosition, shadowDistance and shadowBounds.
With shadows on, the first light casts a hard-edged vector shadow of the
solid: every face of every solid of the object projected along the light
onto a plane behind the object (square to the view) or below it (square to
its own vertical axis and turned with it), filled black with the nonzero
rule at 50% times the opacity of the art that casts it, in that art's
blending mode, and drawn behind the solids. Distance moves the plane away
by a share of the object's largest size; Bounds ends the plane at a square
about the foot of the object's center, four times that size across at
100%. No shadow is drawn while Shading is off, when the first light's
intensity is 0, or when it does not reach the plane. A member's opacity
mask and blending mode apply to the part of the shadow it casts. A shadow
is cast from at most 327,680 faces; past that, commands are refused and a
loaded file draws the source path. The canvas, SVG and PDF exports draw the
shadow, and Expand Appearance keeps it as a path. Values out of range are
refused before the document changes.

These commands read optional numbers and flags with f64_or and bool_or,
so a value such as "10" or "yes" ran the command with the default. They
now return an error and leave the document, the selection and the undo
history as they were. Omitting a key or giving null behaves as before.

Object > Image Trace > Make and Make and Expand, and Object > Pattern >
Make and Edit Pattern, are no longer listed or accepted by
`ui.action.insertMenuItem`. Their menu items do more than run the
command: Image Trace traces off the UI thread with progress and Cancel,
and the Pattern items open the Pattern Options panel. Action playback
runs only the command.
Insert Stop and Insert Menu Item, given a set and action, now count the
steps that the recording in progress adds to that set, so the set as
Stop Playing/Recording leaves it stays within 10,000 steps per action
and 8 MiB as a file.
The command descriptions list every kind of menu item that cannot be
a step.

Document Setup gains alignNewObjectsToPixelGrid. When it is on, every
path or compound path drawn in the document (shape tools, Pen,
Curvature, Pencil, Paintbrush, Blob Brush, grids, flares and add-on
shapes) gets the pixel-aligned property and snaps in the same undo
step. Text, paste, duplicate, Place and import are not affected.
- The Transform panel menu has an Align New Objects to Pixel Grid
item for the active document.
- New Document's Advanced Options has the checkbox; the Mobile and Web
presets turn it on, other presets and older saved presets leave it
off, and file.new, Save Preset and Recent keep it.
- The setting is saved with the document only when it is on.

Save and Save As as EPS always wrote the chosen artboard as the page and
%%BoundingBox, and the EPS Options hid Use Artboards, so art past the
artboard was left outside the file's bounding box.
The EPS Options of Save As now show Use Artboards with All or Range
under it, unchecked by default. Unchecked, Save writes one file whose
bounding box fits all the visible art, as Export does, without the
artboards' background colors; with no visible art the page is the first
artboard, in its color. Checked with two or more chosen artboards, the
file at the path is the central file of the visible art and each
artboard is also written to <name>_<artboard>.eps beside it. Checked
with one, that artboard is the page of the file at the path, the
behavior Save had since #4293 (mockydevs). The file the document becomes
still carries the whole editable document.
Naming artboards with artboard, artboards or range still turns Use
Artboards on. file.formatOptions now reports it on, with those artboards
as the range, and the Save As dialog opens that way.
Changed default: an EPS saved with Save or Save As, an opened EPS
included, now gets a bounding box around its visible art unless Use
Artboards is checked or the save names artboards; an opened EPS saved
back this way loses the margins its page had. selectedOnly stays an
Export option, and Save refuses it.
Docs: params text of document.save and file.formatOptions, the
useArtboards option text, docs/mcp.md save_file,

registry::grant takes a GrantToken, which the engine makes after a
person's approval and when it loads grants.json. registry::install,
install_bytes and folder loads refuse a module that lists permissions no
recorded grant gives this very module (Error::NeedsApproval), and leave
the plug-in under its id and the revision as they were. A folder load's
approve callback only narrows what installs. A module without
permissions, or with an empty list, installs as before.
A folder load in a session with a plug-in store records the store's
grant for each module it approves, so those modules still load.
docs/plugins.md says what the approval does not protect against: native
code linked into the app, and another program running as the same user,
which can edit the Plug-ins folder and its unsigned grants.json.
With a TIFF preview, each EPS file's PNG thumbnail is now the preview
averaged down to the thumbnail's size and composited on white, so
export and Save draw the page once instead of twice. The thumbnail
keeps the size a 128 px render of the page has; a page that fits in
128 px gets the preview's own pixels. Without a preview the thumbnail
is still drawn.
- Rendered::area_resized averages premultiplied pixels over the area
under each new pixel, weighting edge pixels by the share they cover,
and returns an error for a 0 side or a buffer that does not match.
graphicStyle.apply and graphicStyle.redefine copied the style's whole
appearance into a new allocation for every target. Targets that take
the style's appearance as stored now share one copy-on-write handle; a
target whose placed gradients are fitted to its own bounds still gets
its own. Editing one object later gives it its own copy. Saved files
and undo values are unchanged.
The undo history's memory estimate counted a shared appearance once
per object; it now counts each appearance allocation once per side.
The Color panel's menu gets a checked Show Recent Colors item under Show
Options / Hide Options. Unchecking it hides the panel's Recent Colors row;
checking it shows the row again. Applied colors still join the list while
the row is hidden, Hide Options hides the row either way, and the Swatches
panel keeps its own row.
The setting is on by default and is kept with the preferences
(ui.color_show_recent_colors); a saved value that is not true or false
reads as on. ui.colorPanel takes recentColors: bool and answers it.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The grants that should be gone from grants.json but could not be removed
were kept per Session, so a second Session attached to the same Plug-ins
folder in the same process still counted them for plugin.inspect,
plugin.install and loading plug-ins. They are now kept for the process,
by the folder's canonical path and the plug-in id, and a successful
write of grants.json for the id in any session makes the grant count
again. Attaching another folder no longer clears them.
A failed removal does not override a write another session made for
the id in the meantime. The process keeps the latest 256 grant writes
for that check. Another process on the folder still reads grants.json
as it is written.
The Edit Colors commands read `fill`, `stroke`, `includeImages` and
`includePatterns` with a reader that fell back to the default for any
value that is not true or false, so `edit.colors.toGrayscale
{"fill": "false"}` converted the fills it was asked to leave alone.
These keys, and `convert` and `mode` in `edit.colors.adjustBalance`,
are now read with `switch_or` and `text_param`, and a wrong type is an
error that changes nothing. The same applies to `addon.color.filter`,
which shares the scope.
`edit.colors.overprintBlack` now refuses a `remove`, `fill`, `stroke`,
`includeCmyBlacks` or `includeSpotBlacks` that is not true or false
and a `percentage` that is not a number. `color.harmony` refuses a
`rule` or `variation` that is not a string; a `variation` such as 5
was dropped before.
A null still counts as a key left out. docs/mcp.md describes the
errors.
With the Artboard tool selecting several artboards, Paste in Place, Paste
in Front and Paste in Back put a copy of the copied art on each, where it
was on the artboard it was copied from, in one undo step. The three
commands take `artboards: [index...]`; the app passes the Artboard tool's
selection there, and without it the engine uses that selection while the
tool is chosen and records it in the journal. Art copied from no artboard
keeps its place on the first artboard and its offset to it on the others.
Copied artboards still paste once, where they were.
An `artboard` or `artboards` value that is not an artboard index of the
document, a repeated index or an empty list is now an error, and nothing
is pasted. An out-of-range `artboard` used to paste the art where it was.
A batch keeps the `artboards` a paste step names, and a paste step that
names neither pastes on the Artboard tool's selection while that tool is
chosen with several artboards selected.

select.object.notAlignedToPixelGrid selects the paths (not guides) and
compound paths whose pixel-aligned property is off, whatever their
coordinates, and returns {count}. It looks into groups but not into
compound paths, which take the property as one object, and leaves out
hidden, locked and template art and, in isolation mode, everything
outside the isolated object. It replaces the selection, clears it when
nothing matches, and records no undo step.
The menu item goes under Select › Object with rows in every complete
catalog, and plug-ins may call the command like the other Select ›
Object filters. Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
graph.setType read `axisMin: "10"` as a cleared bound, so the axis went
back to the calculated range, and it ignored a string or number given for
a true/false option, a string for a number and a number for a text option.
graph.setData and graph.create ignored a `csv` that is not a string and
`series`, `categories` or `rows` that are not lists, and read a string in
`rows` as a blank cell.
The three commands now refuse such a value with an error naming the key,
and leave the graph and the undo history as they were. A null is still
read as a key left out, and a null axis bound still goes back to the
calculated value. A negative tick count is refused too.
The Control bar's panel menu lists the bar's groups of options above
Dock to Top and Dock to Bottom, each checked while it is on. A click
turns that group off or on, and a group that is off stays out of the
bar even while its tool or object is selected. A group that is off
takes no room, so the groups after it fit a narrower window. The menu
scrolls in a window too short for all its items.
- window.control.options {group, visible?} sets or toggles a group and
returns {group, visible}; an unknown group or a non-boolean visible
is an error and changes nothing.
- The groups are off only by choice: every group starts on. The choice
is kept with the preferences and with each workspace; files saved
without it show every group, and unknown ids are dropped on read.
- The Artboard tool's bar follows the Artboard Options and Transform
groups; with Image Options off, an image shows neither its controls
nor Fill and Stroke.
- New labels have rows in every complete catalog.

Double-clicking a paragraph style, or Paragraph Style Options... in the
Paragraph Styles panel menu, opens Paragraph Style Options
(`ui.paraStyleOptions`) instead of the rename dialog. Its sections are
General (name and stored attributes), Basic Paragraph Formats (Alignment,
indents, space before and after), Composition (composer, Roman Hanging
Punctuation), Hyphenation and Justification. OK runs the new
`paraStyle.edit {name, to, attrs}`, which replaces the name and attributes
in one undo step; paragraphs that use the style keep their local
overrides. Fields left as they were keep the style's values, empty fields
leave an attribute unset, Preview can be canceled, and each section's
Reset Panel (`ui.paraStyleOptions.resetPanel`) clears only its own
attributes. New Paragraph Style shows the same sections, filled in from
the selected paragraph or the interface language's paragraph defaults.
`paraStyle.new`, `paraStyle.setAttrs` and `paraStyle.edit` now reject a
changed indent or space outside -1296 to 1296 pt, Hyphenation counts and
zone outside their ranges, Justification values outside their ranges or
out of Minimum/Desired/Maximum order, and tab positions outside 0 to
100000 pt. A value the style already holds is kept.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Symbols panel menu gains Sort by Name, which puts the document's
symbols in name order, ignoring case, as one undo step
(`symbol.sortByName`). Symbols whose names differ only in case keep their
order, the current symbol stays current, and no undo step is added when
the symbols are already in order.
The menu's Thumbnail View and List View become Thumbnail View, Small List
View (18-point rows, 14-point thumbnails) and Large List View (the former
List View's 26-point rows and 22-point thumbnails), as in the Graphic
Styles panel. Clicking, double-clicking and dragging a symbol work the
same in every view.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Control bar shows an Align To menu after its Align buttons. The
menu shows the icon of the choice the Align panel's Align To shows
(Artboard while one object is selected), and it lists Align to
Selection, Align to Key Object and Align to Artboard with that choice
checked. A pick sets the same choice as the Align panel's Align To
buttons, which now call the same function. Align to Key Object is off
while no key object can be made. Screen readers get a combo box named
"Align To:" whose value is the choice.
When the bar runs short of room, it drops the Distribute buttons first,
then the Align To menu, then the Align buttons.
The public documentation offers Align To in the Control panel as well
as in the Align panel:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250115013546/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/moving-aligning-distributing-objects.html
The Actions panel menu's Insert Menu Item… opens a dialog that lists the
menu items an action can hold. Find picks the one item that matches the
words typed, or a click on a listed item picks it, and OK inserts its
command as a step after the selected step, at the end of the selected
action, or into the recording in progress, without running it.
Playback runs the step as the menu does.
Items that open a dialog, Object > Align, and the File, Window and Help
menu items are not listed. `ui.action.insertMenuItem` does the same for
agents and refuses a command no listed item runs.
Insert Stop and Insert Menu Item refuse a step that would give an action
more than 10,000 steps or its set a file larger than 8 MiB, the most
Load Actions… reads, for actions and recordings alike.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The core-protocol text clipboard (used where the compositor has no
data-control protocol and there is no X11) failed a paste at once after
its 2 s read timeout, so the paste took the internal clipboard even when
the other app's text came within the paste's 10 s limit. It now keeps a
text read that got no answer in its wait, as the arboard path does, and
the paste waits for that answer on its background thread until 10 s
after the read was sent. The answer is pasted unless it is empty or the
text copied here.
file.package, file.place, file.place.queue, file.place.info,
document.serialize, document.export, document.exportSelection and
document.exportForOffice read their switches, strings and numbers with
helpers that fell back to the default for a value of the wrong type.
file.package {"copyFonts": "false"} copied the fonts, and
document.exportForOffice {"path": 5} returned the bytes instead of
writing a file. Each such value is now an error naming the key, and
nothing is placed or written. Null still means the key was left out.
File › Open and File › Place refused plotter files: HP-GL/2 files
(.plt, .hpgl, .hgl, .hpg) were not a format VectorCraft reads.
The format table gets a read-only HP-GL format, read by a new
vectorcraft_cad::hpgl module. Each line the pen draws becomes a stroked
path in its pen's color and width, with the line type as a dash pattern
and the line attributes as caps and joins. Circles, arcs, wedges and
Bézier curves are drawn as curves. Filled and edged rectangles, wedges
and polygons (polygon mode) become filled or stroked paths, and encoded
polylines, scaling points, user units and rotation are read. Plotter
units (1016 to the inch, y up) become points, and the artboard holds
what the art paints. Place brings the art in as one group. Older HP-GL
files are read by the HP-GL/2 rules for the instructions the two share.
A file is recognized by its first instructions, after any printer
escape sequences and PJL lines, so a plot file also opens under an
extension no other format reads. VectorCraft's own rules where the
device decides: before the first SP the pen is pen 1, and the hard-clip
limits are 11 x 8.5 in, which P2 takes when the file sets no scaling
points. Labels, symbol-mode symbols and raster images are not drawn,
the input window does not clip, hatched fills are filled solid, and
later pages are drawn over the first; the warnings list each. Objects,
path points and pen widths are capped, and the import fuzzer covers
random, mutated and garbage plot files.
An importer plug-in that lists .plt, .hpgl, .hgl or .hpg now opens
those files only when document.open names it with `importer`.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/file-format-parity.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/releasing.md.
swatch.library.list, brush.libraries, symbol.libraries and
graphicStyle.libraries returned every library's file path and the user
library folder to a client confined by --automation-read-root, including
paths outside its read roots. They now return null for those paths, and a
library loaded from a file outside the roots is listed as
loaded/<file name>, numbered (2), (3) when names repeat. That id finds the
library in the other library commands, and their replies show it too.
- The naming moves from control.rs into
swatchlib::concealed_library_ids, which numbers the session's loaded
libraries first, so ui.inspect, ui.docking and the library commands show
a library under the same id.
- swatch.library.copyToUser refuses a library whose file is outside the
read roots without naming the file; it and the library saves with
`user: true` leave out `path` when the user library folder is outside
the read roots.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (read roots), docs/target-app-parity.md.
A missing file below a folder link whose target does not exist got
"does not exist", while one below a link to an existing outside folder
was refused, so a script could tell whether the folder a link leads to
exists. A missing path is now refused when the nearest entry above it
that exists is a link that leads to nothing.
A fourth gradient kind, conic (also accepted as `angle` or `conical`),
sweeps the stops once around the center (the gradient's start),
clockwise on the page from the vector, with a seam where the last stop
meets the first. A negative aspect mirrors the sweep, and reflecting an
object turns its sweep the other way, also for a conic without a
vector or with a flat extent.
- Gradient panel: a Conic button in the Type row; the Aspect Ratio
field works for conic gradients and keeps a mirrored sweep mirrored.
- Gradient tool: the extent ellipse, aspect handle and center ring of a
radial gradient, without a focal point.
- Rendering, swatch chips, transforms, warps, plug-in round trips, and
Object > Expand into wedges or a mesh of columns around the center.
- Commands: a negative `aspect` is an error for linear and radial
gradients, and so is a `focal` point for a conic gradient.
- PDF export writes a function-based shading whose calculator function
turns the angle into the ramp, and PDF import reads a function-based
shading that turns around the origin of its space back as a conic
gradient, also when that origin lies outside the painted area. A
PDF/A file, or a conic with more than 97 stops, gets an image
instead.
- SVG export writes 360 solid wedges clipped to the shape for opaque
stops and an image otherwise, and a linear gradient on characters.
- CSS export writes `conic-gradient(from ...)`, with the stops mirrored
for a mirrored sweep.
- EPS and legacy .ai export write 360 solid wedges; the .ai editing data
holds a linear gradient along the vector with the same stops.
- .af files: conical gradients open as conic gradients.
- An export that writes the gradient in another form gives a warning.
Supersedes #2326 and includes switch87's code from it.

When plugin.remove could not remove the grant and then could not rename
the plug-in's settings folder back from <folder>.removed, the failure was
only logged: the plug-in got empty settings, and the next removal deleted
the .removed folder with the settings in it.
- The error now names the .removed folder, the plug-in folder and the
reason, and the plug-in gets no storage until the settings are back.
- The next load, install or plugin.remove of the plug-in renames a kept
folder back while the plug-in has no folder of its own. When it has one,
that folder is used and the kept one stays until plugin.remove deletes
both. A removal while a kept .removed folder exists renames the plug-in
folder to <folder>.removing.
- Before deleting a renamed folder, the store writes an empty
<folder>.removed.delete file and removes it once the folder is gone, so
what a failed deletion leaves is not moved back. When that file can't
be written, nothing is deleted.
- A .removed folder without a .delete file, including one an earlier
version left, counts as kept settings: a new install of the id needs
replace: true, and plugin.remove of the id deletes it.
When the check whether the clipboard still holds what VectorCraft copied,
or one of a paste's own reads, gets no answer within its 2 s, the read is
kept. The paste then waits for that answer on its background thread, up
to 10 s after the read was sent, instead of failing its other reads at
once and pasting the internal clipboard. When the answer is what
VectorCraft copied, or none comes, the paste takes the internal
clipboard; otherwise the clipboard is read as a paste reads it, with that
answer standing in for its read. An answer that came before the paste is
dropped and the clipboard is read again.
The word gap is now the Desired word spacing the layout uses for area type
with Block on (TextObject::layout_justification), with Minimum and Maximum
moved out to it when it lies outside them. The paragraphs keep their own
Justification values, so a wide gap no longer leaves a 1,000 % Maximum
behind, and turning Block off brings back the paragraph's own Desired
value. The SVG writer reads the same values.
- The Contextual Task Bar offers Dynamic Text for area type outside a
thread, beside Convert To Point Type.
- type.dynamicText with wordGap or lineGap and no area type in the
selection is an error instead of being ignored.
- Docs: docs/mcp.md, params text, docs/target-app-parity.md.
With the Selection tool on several frames of one threaded story, the
Tabs panel listed the paragraphs to change in the order the frames were
selected, and listed each frame's paragraphs separately. A marker drag
over mixed indents then ran its per-paragraph steps out of story order,
so a step that made text reflow could move a later step's paragraph,
and a paragraph that runs on from one frame into the next got two
steps. After Type tool Select All the split paragraph also got two.
The panel now lists each paragraph of a story once, in story order,
by its last piece with text in a selected frame. With the Selection
tool only the paragraphs with text in a selected frame change, so a
frame selected alone that starts or ends inside a paragraph sets it.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Closing a path by dragging on its first anchor made that anchor smooth
with symmetric handles, so the first segment bent along with the closing
one. The drag now sets the first anchor's incoming handle to the mirror
of the pointer. Its outgoing handle stays where it is on a corner, so
the first segment keeps its shape, and on a smooth anchor it turns to
stay in line at its own length. Alt makes the anchor a corner and leaves
the outgoing handle where it was when Alt went down. A click on the
first anchor closes the path with the incoming handle retracted and the
anchor a corner, so the closing segment comes in straight.
The Smart Pen's closing drag follows the same rule.
path.close's `in` now places the handle as path.setHandle does, and a
new `out` param places the outgoing handle and makes the anchor a
corner.
Extrude & Bevel (both kinds) and Inflate drew the faces of the fill's
solid and the stroke's solid in one order by each face's center depth.
At a concave corner a long fill wall could sort after a stroke wall in
front of it, so stripes of the fill showed through the stroke.
- Facets now record whether they are side faces (walls, bevels,
Inflate's sides) and whether they are turned away from the viewer.
- With caps on, each fill side face turned toward the viewer is drawn
before every face of the same shape's stroke whose bounds overlap
it, for strokes whose solid hides the fill's whole edge: a closed
shape, a width, no dashes, width profile or brush, and a solid color
or a gradient without transparent stops. Caps, other shapes in a
group, hollow effects and translucent or blended surfaces keep their
order.
Docs: docs/three-d.md (Fills and strokes), docs/target-app-parity.md.
The gradients category was titled Gradient Swatches and listed every
gradient swatch, used or not. It is now Gradient Objects: one row per
object filled or stroked with a gradient, named as the object is, with
the gradients it uses (a linked swatch by name, else Linear gradient,
Radial gradient or Freeform gradient). document.info adds
gradientObjects and gradientNames, and Selection Only, Save and the
Package report use the same rows.
Gradient objects follow the rules Pattern Objects uses for paint that
draws: hidden fills and strokes, strokes with no width, guides, compound
path members' own paint, image paint without a shape and type that draws
nothing are left out, and type whose characters carry a gradient is
included. objects.gradients now counts the listed objects, so it no
longer counts hidden or zero-width gradient paint and no longer misses
type whose characters use a gradient.
The duplicate Document Info Save line in docs/target-app-parity.md is
removed.
A `File` or `Folder` for a missing path got "does not exist" even when
the path led outside the script's folder, through a folder link or, on a
file system where case matters, through a folder whose name differs from
the script's folder only in case, while an existing file there was
refused. A missing path is now refused unless the nearest folder above
it that exists lies inside a granted folder.
In a frame that is not a rectangle, or with text wrap, layout moves a
line down to the first span wide enough for its first word. The word
was measured at full width before Mojikumi set an opening bracket at
the line's start flush, and with its last character at full width, so
a word that fit as set moved down to a wider line. It also ended at any
break opportunity, so an opening bracket counted without the character
kinsoku keeps with it and could be placed alone on a line too narrow
for that character.
- word_width ends the word only where break_line may end a line: at a
cluster end that kinsoku allows, not inside a No Break run, whose
spaces count. It leaves out the spaces at the word's end and narrows
its last glyph by the Mojikumi line-end credit.
- place_flow_line measures the word after the opening-bracket trim, and
the Every-line Composer's first-line placement takes off the same
start credit, so the composed widths match the placed lines.
With Line-end Punctuation Half Width, a closing bracket, comma or full
stop ending a line is set half width, but both composers measured it at
full width. A closing bracket that fit only at half width went to the
next line with the character before it, and so did a comma or full stop
with Burasagari None.
The single-line and every-line composers now measure each candidate
line with its last character set as narrow as Mojikumi sets it, using
the same rule the line is drawn with. A mark that already lost its half
to the punctuation after it and a line ending in a hyphen take nothing
more off, and the quarter em between Japanese and Latin text counts only
where the line ends. Kinsoku Shori Type measures the pushed-in and
pushed-out lines the same way. Right-to-left lines and Mojikumi None
break as before.
A test font sets ideographs and Japanese punctuation one em wide, so
the layout tests run without system fonts.
When the interface thread stays in one part of a frame for 3 s, a
watching thread writes a hang report to the log and to
logs/hang-report-<process id>.txt. The report gives the part of the
frame (input hook, logic, interface, or the renderer after a frame in
which any window had input), a system clipboard call in progress, the
last 8 different command ids, the last 16 frame times, the platform,
window system, desktop and session type, Flatpak, graphics adapter, the
present mode and frame latency the app asks for, the running time and
the number of open documents. It holds no document contents, file paths
or command parameters. The interface thread marks its stages with a few
atomic stores a frame, and the watching thread reads those marks without
waiting on it.
The process keeps the report file locked until the interface answers
again, then removes it. A file nobody holds at a later launch was left
by a session that was closed while it did not answer: the launch writes
the report to the log, moves the file to logs/hang-report.1.txt and,
unless another start-up message is showing, says so in the status bar.
Help › Copy Troubleshooting Info puts the platform facts, the recent
commands and frame times and both sessions' reports on the clipboard for
a bug report. An in-line file dialog, an open menu of the macOS menu bar,
and the time after a frame that minimizes or hides the window or starts
moving or resizing it are not timed.
The menu label and the two status messages have rows in every catalog.
Since #5839 the Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon and Star
tools draw the selection's bounding box with its eight handles, but a
press on a handle drew a new shape from it. A shape just drawn could not
be resized without switching to the Selection tool.
A press on a handle now scales the selection as the Selection tool's
handles do: the same cursors, snapping, Shift and Alt, Use Preview
Bounds, area type frames and Backtick for patterns. The box stays on
show at the changing bounds during the drag. With the bounding box
hidden, a press there still draws.

A paste on Linux and the BSDs read the bitmap on the clipboard worker but
waited up to 10 s for it on the UI thread, so a bitmap from an app that
never sent its data froze the window long enough for the compositor to
offer to close it.
The paste now sends the bitmap read to the worker and returns at once;
its background thread waits up to 10 s for the answer and converts it to
PNG. While that read is open, other reads fail at once instead of
queuing behind it. Each read gets its own answer channel, so a late
answer is dropped. The check of whether the clipboard still holds the
app's own bitmap waits 2 s at most, as text does.
