* UI: theme tokens for icon, reference and sheet-control colours; WCAG contrast test
Tokens gains the colours the chrome was hard-coding, each with a light
and a dark value: on_accent (text on an accent fill), an eight-colour
category palette (theme::Cat), the paper colour inside icons, reference
colours for the formula bar and for the sheet, the message box warning
disc, the tab bar scroll thumb, and sheet_control_* colours that follow
the sheet and so stay light in both themes.
What now comes from the tokens:
- icons: paper (white pages glared in dark mode) and the accent
constants; icons placed on the sheet use icons::paint_on_sheet, which
keeps the light colours;
- reference colours (editor::REF_COLORS), which were hard to read on the
dark formula field;
- white text on the accent in OK, Solve, slicer tiles and the AutoSave
switch, 2:1 on the dark accent;
- the comments pane (a white card with light text in dark mode), gallery
hover and swatch outlines, the message box disc, the tab bar thumb,
chart selection frames, and the sheet's filter and validation buttons.
A unit test (theme::contrast_tests) checks every token pair used by the
ribbon, popups, dialogs, panes, formula bar, status bar and sheet in
both themes against WCAG 2: 4.5:1 for text and 3:1 for glyphs. It caught
the dark danger red (3.5:1 on hover) and the selected header text (4.1:1
light), which are adjusted.
* UI: ribbon scroll arrows, large split button for Formulas › AutoSum
- widgets::big_split_button: the icon runs the default action, the
label and its arrow open the menu. It returns both responses, with
accessible names ("AutoSum" and "AutoSum options"). big_button shares
its label layout.
- Formulas › AutoSum uses it: the icon inserts SUM as before, and the
arrow, which used to do the same, opens the Sum / Average / Count /
Max / Min / More Functions menu that Home › AutoSum already had
(shared as autosum_menu). Its keytip is unchanged.
- When a tab's groups are wider than the window, arrows at the card's
edges scroll them; before, only the mouse wheel did and nothing showed
that the tab went on. ribbon::RibbonOverflow records the groups' and
the card's sizes each frame.
- A test checks every tab fits the card's three rows. It found View ›
Show stacking four checkboxes, with Headings cut off; Show is now two
columns (Ruler, Gridlines / Formula Bar, Headings).
Tests: tests/ribbon_layout.rs (the split button's two parts, AutoSum's
icon and menu, the scroll arrows, the card height).
* UI: formula bar grows from one to five lines; code editor widget
The formula bar is a top-aligned row: the Name Box and the cancel,
enter and fx buttons stay on the first line while the field grows. Its
height is the content's laid-out line count (Alt+Enter or wrapped text)
times the font's row height, from one line (30 px, as before) to five,
then the field scrolls with the caret in view. This holds while editing
and while viewing a cell. The height eases over 120 ms when the line
count changes, and the chevron pins it at five lines (it used to give a
fixed 72 px). The in-cell editor likewise stops at five lines and
scrolls. formula_bar::BarLayout records where the parts went, for tests.
widgets::code_editor(ui, id, &mut text, Lang, max_lines) is a small
code editor for features that edit code: the monospace font, syntax
colours from Tokens::syntax (new, with light and dark values in the
contrast test) for Python (keywords, strings including triple-quoted
ones, numbers, comments and builtins) and LaTeX (commands, scripts and
comments), Tab inserting four spaces (or indenting every selected line,
Shift+Tab dedenting), Enter keeping the line's indentation (one level
more after a Python colon), and a scroll area that follows the caret.
The tokenizer and the edits are pure functions with tests, including
hostile input that must keep spans on char boundaries.
kittest (tests/formula_bar.rs) covers Alt+Enter up to eight lines with
the Name Box and buttons fixed and the caret visible, the commit,
viewing the committed cell, the chevron, the ease, the in-cell cap and
the code editor's Tab and Enter.
* UI: Shift+Tab in the code editor dedents instead of indenting
The editor consumed plain Tab before Shift+Tab, and egui's key match ignores Shift
when the pattern lacks it, so a Shift+Tab was taken as Tab and indented the line.
Shift+Tab is now consumed first; a plain Tab still inserts spaces.
* UI: the ribbon card stays inside a narrow window, so its right scroll arrow is on screen
The row above the ribbon can be wider than a narrow window, and the card took that width, so the
right scroll arrow was drawn past the window's edge and couldn't be clicked: below about 640 px on
macOS, and at 700 px with Linux's wider default fonts, where CI's ribbon test failed. The card is
now kept within the window with the same margin it has on the left.
* UI: each ribbon tab keeps a scroll offset of its own
The ribbon's scroll area used one identity for every tab, so scrolling an overflowing tab and
switching to another overflowing one hid that tab's first groups. Each tab now has its own scroll
state: a tab opened after another was scrolled starts at its left edge, and a tab keeps its offset
while others are used.
* UI: the in-cell editor keeps its whole width for the text and shows every line
Merged with main, the grid's own test asked the in-cell editor to wrap its
text at the field's full width and to show every line (the editor never
scrolls); the editor widget wrapped it inside the formula bar's scroll area,
which took the bar's width off the text (168 px tall where 156 was right),
and the grid capped it at five lines. The in-cell editor now shows the text
field on its own, through the one show_edit helper the formula bar also
uses, and grows with every line; the formula bar keeps its five lines and
its caret scroll. The branch's five-line test for the cell editor becomes a
grows-with-every-line test.
* Docs: the UI building blocks' revision rows carry the date they land
The rows said 2026-10-11, older than upstream rows above them, and the
ui-parity row said the in-cell editor is capped at five lines.
* UI: the formula bar's view of a cell starts at the cell's top
The bar's read-only view kept one scroll offset for every cell, so a cell
shown after scrolling another's text started scrolled. The offset is kept
per cell now.
* UI: the editor's field does nothing with Enter on its own
The editor handles Enter (commit) and Alt+Enter (a line break) itself, and a
message box over the editor takes Enter to close. The field under it is a
multi-line TextEdit since the bar grew, whose own return key would add a
line if it ever saw Enter; return_key(None) keeps that from depending on
where focus sits. A test shows Enter over a message box adds nothing to the
entry (focus is off the field then, so it passed before too: this is
hardening, not a repair). The doc comment split by the show_edit helper is
mended.
* Docs: ui-parity says the in-cell editor shows every line, and its revision table is whole
A sentence still said the in-cell editor stops at five lines, and a blank
line between the table's separator and its first row ended the table.
* UI: the split button's tooltip carries the shortcut hint like every ribbon button's
big_split_button built its tooltip with the bare translation, so AutoSum,
which became a split button, lost its shortcut hint. It uses tip_text now;
the split-button test hovers the button and looks for the hint.
* UI: a selection that ends at the start of a line leaves that line alone
Selecting "a\n" in "a\nb" and pressing Tab also indented b, and Shift+Tab
could take its indentation: the line after the selection was counted as
touched. It is touched only when the selection reaches into it.
* UI: the code editor applies its keys in input order, with the typing around them
The editor consumed Enter, Tab and Shift+Tab before the text field saw the
frame's events, so a frame carrying typed text followed by Enter (events
gather between repaints, and under key repeat) put the newline before the
text, and two Enters in one frame made one line. The editor now walks the
frame's events in order and applies typed text, pastes, Enter, Tab,
Shift+Tab, Backspace and Delete itself, taking them from the queue; the
first event it does not handle and everything after it stay for the field,
which runs next, so the order holds either way.
* UI: the code editor keeps the input order past the keys the text field handles
The editor applied its keys up to the first event it did not handle and
left that event and everything after it to the text field, which has
its own Tab and Enter: select all followed by Tab in one frame replaced
the code with a tab character, and since the platform sends a key event
before each text event, an Enter after ordinary typing lost its
indentation.
The editor now applies its keys up to the first event the field acts on
(a caret or selection key, a key under a command modifier, IME, a click);
that event and the run after it stay for the field; from the editor's
next key on, the keyboard events are held back under the editor's id for
its next pass, where it puts them ahead of that pass's input and splits
again. They go only to the editor they were typed into, only while it
still has the focus, and only in the pass right after; otherwise they
are dropped rather than typed into another widget. Printable key presses
do not split the stream. Tab under a command or option modifier is taken
off the queue, and Enter under Shift or Option is the editor's newline,
so the field never gets a Tab or an Enter of a focused editor.
* UI: the ribbon layout and formula bar tests join the crate's integration test binary
Since #2372 the crate's integration tests are one binary built from tests/it/, one module per file; only tests that set process-wide state stay separate. These two set none.
* UI: the formula bar's one-line height follows the font, so five lines fit on Windows
One line was a fixed 30 px and the bar grew by one row height per line.
The panel's and the field's margins take 12 px of that, and rounding to
the pixel grid up to another, so a row taller than 17 px lost the last
counted line: with the Windows UI font (17.28 px rows) five lines showed
four, and bar_grows_to_five_lines_then_scrolls_with_name_box_pinned
failed there.
formula_bar::one_line(row_h) is 30 px unless the rows need more, and
every counted line fits whatever the font. The kittest heights are
computed from it rather than from 30, and a unit test checks the
arithmetic for rows of 15.6 to 20 px.
* UI: Paste Special's OK button uses the on-accent colour
It was the one OK button still drawn white on the accent: 2.14:1 in the dark theme, where every other OK uses on_accent (7.1:1).
Floating pictures were decoded at full size, with no limits, into one
process-wide map of textures that never let go, not even when their
workbook closed. Its key was the picture's id and byte length, and ids
are per workbook, so a second open workbook could show the first one's
picture.
The new floating_pictures module, built like cell_pictures, keeps a
cache per egui context keyed by workbook, picture id and size:
- bounded at 128 MB, least recently drawn first, never evicting a
picture drawn in the last frame, so none turns into a placeholder;
- a workbook's textures go when it closes (checked every frame);
- a picture's header is read first (16,384 px a side, 64 MP at most),
it is decoded with limits, and to the next size step of what is
drawn (a power of two or three quarters of one, up to 4,096 px or the
GPU's limit); it is decoded again only when drawn larger;
- a picture that can't be decoded is remembered, not retried each frame.
Measured on macOS 27 (Apple M3 Max): 12 pictures of 2600 x 2600 opened
from an .xlsx and scrolled through, textures held by egui 258 -> 40 MB,
settled footprint 738 -> 509 MB; after closing the workbook, textures
258 -> 0 MB, footprint 504 -> 236 MB. 24 pictures: textures 490 -> 76 MB.

Text boxes ignored a:rPr (size, bold, italic, typeface, fill, outline),
a:pPr algn, a:bodyPr anchor and spPr/a:ln/a:noFill. They are now read into
Shape::format, drawn on screen and in PDF, and written back.

Sheet Right-to-Left (view.rightToLeft, XLSX rightToLeft) was stored and
round-tripped but never rendered. The grid now lays out in logical
left-to-right coordinates and mirrors on screen: painted shapes are
reflected (text and pictures only moved), floating objects move as a
whole, pointer input is mirrored back for hit-testing, Left/Right arrows
follow the screen, and the cell editor, text box editor, popups and the
vertical scrollbar are placed on the mirrored side. Page Layout gets a
Sheet Right-to-Left button.

The ribbon button inserted a column chart straight away. It now opens an
Insert Chart dialog: a Recommended tab (insert.chartRecommendations, a
heuristic over the data's shape: series, points, labels, negatives) and an
All Charts tab, each with a live preview of the chart for the selection.
OK inserts the chosen type and selects the chart.
insert.recommendedCharts stays dialog-free for programmatic calls: without
a type it inserts the first recommendation; type/subtype pick one.
insert_chart is split into build_chart (also used for previews).

Implements the two slicer commands from the parity catalog as first-class
floating objects that filter a table column.
- model: Slicer struct on Sheet (#[serde(default)]), included in
Workbook::next_object_id; slicer anchors use AnchorMode::MoveOnly.
- engine: cmd/slicer.rs with insert.slicer, table.insertSlicer, slicer.toggle
(single + multi), slicer.selectAll, slicer.clear, slicer.delete. Selection is
written as a FilterCriterion::Values into the sheet AutoFilter and applied via
the existing apply_filter. object.move / object.delete handle "slicer".
- ui-egui: slicers rendered, hit-tested, selected and dragged like charts; value
tiles toggle on click (Ctrl/Cmd = multi), funnel button clears. Ribbon buttons
under Insert > Filters and Table Design > Tools.
- tests: slicer_filters_table; the every_command_survives_empty_params fuzz
covers the new commands.
Native-only for now; .xlsx slicer-cache round-trip is a follow-up.
