A short move with View > Snap to Pixel on returned to where it began and
showed a "last location" label, skipping the pixel step. Snap to Last
Location is now off while Snap to Pixel is on, for the Selection tool and
for paths Direct Selection moves by an anchor, so the move lands on whole
pixels as it does with the option off.
A path selected whole that Direct Selection moves held by one of its anchors snapped only through the anchor-drag targets, so Snap to Last Location never put it back. The move now goes back to where it began within Snapping Tolerance, labeled "last location", as a Selection tool move does; an Alt copy is not pulled back.
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.
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 marquee's segment test built a two-anchor path for every segment and ran
hit::intersects_rect on it. It now skips a segment whose anchors and handles
all lie past one side of the marquee, and tests the rest directly with the same
bounds and edge checks, so it selects the same segments.
A marquee over 10,000 anchors, press to release (anchor_bench, median of 7):
one open path of 200,000 anchors 84.9 ms -> 24.1 ms, 2,000 closed paths of 50
anchors 27.5 ms -> 13.5 ms, one closed path of 50,000 anchors 14.6 ms -> 8.5 ms.
The Selection tool's double-click on nothing (or on art outside the isolated group) leaves isolation mode; Direct Selection's did nothing there. It now does the same.
The check of a selected object's masked art looked at its own place
only. A click goes down from the layer (or the isolated container) and
never reaches a Shaper group's original shapes outside Construction
mode, however deep the object lies in them; and below a layer whose
Preview is off it hits art in outline. A press inside such a path's
fill, or on a path in a Shaper group's hidden shapes, started a move.
The way down to the selected object is now checked as a click goes:
a Shaper group's part a click can't reach on it rules the object out,
and a Preview-off layer on it (below the isolated container) makes the
object count by its outline.
Tests also cover Shift with Direct and Group Selection (a marquee) and
an object a click hits over the masked art (it is selected).

An image in a clipping mask, picked in the Layers panel, shows its
whole frame, but a press on the part the mask hides hit nothing: the
Selection, Direct Selection and Group Selection tools started a marquee
there, which dropped the selection, so the image could be dragged only
by the part that shows.
Such a press now grabs the selection by that art, as a press on its
visible part does: a drag moves the selected object (the image, not its
clip group) and a click keeps it selected. With nothing of it selected
there, or with Shift, a press there starts a marquee as before.

Escape did not cancel a drag with the Anchor Point, Mesh, Shape Builder
and Measure tools, or a Direct Selection drag of a mesh point, a corner
widget or the brackets of type on a path: the drag went on until the
mouse was released. Escape cancels every other Direct Selection drag
and a drag with the Free Transform, Rotate, Reflect, Scale, Shear and
Gradient tools.
Escape now cancels an Anchor Point drag, a Mesh tool drag of a mesh
point or handle, and a Direct Selection drag of a mesh point or handle,
a corner widget or the brackets of type on a path. The art goes back to
how the press found it, no undo step is added, and the rest of the drag
and the release send nothing. Escape during a Shape Builder drag ends
it, so the release merges and deletes nothing; the tool takes Escape
only during the drag. Escape during a Measure tool drag ends it and
brings back the measurement shown before the press. Escape after an
Anchor Point or Direct Selection press that has not moved yet drops the
press. Otherwise, outside a drag, Escape does what it did before.
