The check that keeps a live envelope or warped type only where it draws
as the art saved with it renders each on its own, over nothing, and
compared the pixels as seen on white. White art over nothing looks like
nothing on white, so white contents that drew somewhere else passed and
opened live in the wrong place.
Pixels now also differ when they look different seen on black, so such
art keeps its saved art, as colored art does. Opaque colored art is
compared as before.

With the Linear mode, two problems kept a click on an anchor from
taking it:
- A press on an anchor that moved more than 3 pixels before the release
dragged out the dimension of the segment under the pointer and
committed it almost on top of the art. A press on an anchor now picks
it unless the pointer moves past the anchor's 8-pixel reach; a longer
drag still dimensions the segment.
- A pick linked only an anchor of the segment nearest the pointer. An
anchor of another path near that segment, for example one inside a
group lying just inside another object's edge, was taken at most as a
Smart Guides point with no link, so the dimension did not follow it
when the art changed. A pick now links the nearest anchor of any
visible, unlocked path within reach, in groups and compound paths too.
In Outline the canvas kept the Preview pasteboard color and filled each
artboard with white paper. Paths and type draw as black hairlines, so
art on the pasteboard was close to invisible in the dark interface
brightnesses.
In Outline the whole canvas is now white in every interface brightness
and Canvas Color, pasteboard included. The artboards draw no paper and
show as their edges, so Simulate Colored Paper, an artboard's background
color and the paper of View > Hide Artboards no longer show in Outline.
The artboard names and the ruler origin's crosshair draw in dark gray
there. In split views and floating windows the artboard names follow
that window's own Outline setting, as the canvas already did.
Each command a script runs keeps a savepoint of the state it may need
to put back if it fails. The savepoint cloned every open document's
whole undo history, so a script that made N edits did O(N^2) work.
- The savepoint now clones each document's state without its history
and keeps a mark: the newest undo and redo steps and the serials of
the steps under them. Until the command ends, the history trims no
step, and a new step sets the redo steps aside instead of dropping
them. A failed command truncates both stacks back to the mark.
- file.close, file.closeAll, document.close and file.revert still keep
a whole copy, since they remove the history or the document.
- When a failed command removed or changed a step under the newest
one, the history cannot be put back exactly, and the run stops with
an error; its rollback restores the documents as they were before
the run.
- run_guarded no longer copies the histories during a script's run,
and a committed run moves the histories from before it back instead
of copying them.
- Symbol editing mode shares its saved redo steps between copies of a
document's state.
- A script cannot run edit.clearHistory. A run keeps each document's
undo steps from before it, so the command reported a clear that the
commit then undid.
A right-click on type has a Spelling submenu with Auto Spell Check, as the
public Check and correct spelling page describes. A submenu that holds only
toggles shows their check marks, even in the context menu.
Escape reset a rotated view only as the second of two presses less than
a second apart, and a click or another key between them started the
count again. With the Rotate View tool one press reset it.
Now an Escape that has nothing else to end resets the rotation. An
Escape that ends something else (isolation mode, a path being drawn, a
full screen mode, a dialog and the others listed in
docs/target-app-parity.md) ends only that, and the next Escape resets
the view, however long after it comes. Tools report a path or pick that
Escape ends with `Tool::ends_on_escape`.
The rotate view tests that needed two presses now check one press, and
the screen mode test that named the old pair is renamed.

A mask, inverted mask or knockout group over type now keeps the region
that covers any artwork. Type is measured by its layout or, on a path,
by the path, and a reader that sets live type in its own font can draw
it wider, so a region sized from that box could cut glyphs off.
A live object (blend, envelope, repeat, mesh, placed document,
intertwine) under a mask is measured as the art the writer writes for
it, expanded on its own with the same limits.
The writer keeps its symbol boxes and symbols' art reach in plain
fields instead of cells.
Opacity masks, inverted and unclipped masks, and knockout groups were
written with mask and filter regions of 200,000 x 200,000 units around
the origin. CairoSVG draws each mask into an image of its region's size
and stops with "out of memory", so a file with any of them did not
open; Firefox drew inverted masks wrong and WebKit drew knockout groups
and inverted masks wrong.
Each region now covers what the masked or knocked-out art paints: its
visual box grown by its raster effects, brush art and members' reach,
the mask art's box, and in a scaled symbol instance its strokes and
effects at their own size. A mask whose art reaches past its object
still comes back whole on import.
A document a script opens now counts the art in its graph designs and in
the original of the pattern being edited toward the growth allowance.
`Document::art_roots` and `art_roots_mut` list every tree of a document's
art; `any_node`, `edit_nodes_where` and the script's object count use them.
`script.run` checks the depth of `args` without recursion before it copies
or writes them out, so `args` nested 10,000 levels deep is refused with the
place it went past 64 levels instead of overflowing the stack.
New tests: graph-design art and the growth allowance, `args` nested 10,000
levels deep from a script (a RangeError) and from a caller, `run --cmd
script.run` on the command line with a report and with a thrown error, and
a property test that sends arbitrary source through `script.run`.
With Measure Type by Glyph Bounds on, point type is measured by its
glyph outlines and its underline and strikethrough bars, as the canvas
draws them. A typed W or H gives what is drawn that size, and underlined
or struck-through spaces are measured by their bars instead of the em
box.
The texts now say that each point type object selected as an object
(not inside a selected group) is measured this way, that moved type
snaps by its ink box, and which Arrange Tools commands follow the
option: Swap Objects, Replace with Top Object, Set Size of Each and
Sort Objects. Arrange in Grid and Group Overlapping Objects keep
measuring visual bounds.
A face of a group member that paints nothing (its fill or stroke at 0% opacity) was drawn without a group, so its zero opacity was lost and the member drew fully opaque. Such a face now keeps a group with the opacity and blending mode of its fill or stroke.
