 - **2026-10-15 (M7, Edit text caret):** In a text region that mixes sizes (a 24 pt title over 12 pt lines), the inline editor's caret on a small row was as tall as the region's first size and reached into the row below: egui draws the caret at least one row of the text field's font tall, and that font had the paragraph's first size. The field's font is now half the region's smallest size, so each row's own height decides. Kittest regression; checked in the app on a real document. Estimates unchanged.

A thumbnail already in view, or clicked, leaves the panel where it is, and a page change while the user scrolls the panel or drags thumbnails does not move it. Estimates unchanged.
 - **2026-10-16 (M12, #1645):** CLI info, text and render use the engine's dynamic XFA layout rather than placeholder pages. Synthetic two-page and encrypted-form regressions cover counts, text, pixels, copy permissions and unchanged input bytes. Estimates unchanged.

Oversized text still uses the existing read-only page-text fallback with a warning; fixed-height fields do not reflow. Repeated page-master buttons resolve their own PDF field to the shared XFA click script; the numPages-based print script requests printing from every copy, including after save/reopen (#2572). laid out from the template on open by the xfa crate (positioned, tb, lr-tb, table/row, page masters (a page area with no occur repeats without limit, one with occur max=1 is used once, one with occur min=1 the body never reached gets a page after the body, as Acrobat Pro does on a synthetic form), breaks, repeated header rows, captions, rich text, JPEG/PNG/GIF images) into real pages and AcroForm fields (text, password, date with AFDate formats, check boxes, radio groups, drop-downs and list boxes with shown/saved item pairs and multi-select, signature fields, image fields showing their picture (pictures decoded once per document, at most 20 million pixels, and reused across re-layouts), buttons with reset/print/save/URL), filled from the datasets packet (including rows another viewer added), saved as an incremental revision with the values merged into the datasets so Adobe's viewers show them; doc_info reports xfa_layout. CLI info reports the laid-out page/field counts and dimensions while retaining the input file size and raw counts as pdf_pages/acroform_fields; text and render use those pages too, preserving copy permissions and leaving the source file unchanged (#1645). XFA JavaScript and FormCalc (form.xfa-formcalc) run in the js crate's XFA object model (xfa.form, SOM resolution, rawValue, formattedValue in a date display picture's pattern (number and text display pictures still give the raw value), presence, access, instance managers, xfa.host, xfa.layout, xfa.event): initialize and calculate on open, exit, validate and calculate after a field changes, click for buttons (through js_run and the app), with rows added and removed, subforms shown and hidden, and the form laid out again, all as one undo step and kept in the file. All the scripts of one event run on one thread, each in a fresh context on the form as the engine holds it then (nothing shared between scripts; the live form kept up to date in place for values, rebuilt only when the structure changed), so hundreds of calculations run within the open budget. Hostile scripts are bounded per event (merged and capped effects, messages and console lines, lower loop limits and a time budget on open and calculate, one datasets rewrite per event, print/save/links/focus from clicks only, a runaway script abandoned and the form's scripts turned off, which the app says in a toast and on the notice bar, with a button to the JavaScript console, and doc_info reports as xfa_scripts_off) and what open-time scripts changed is noted. A script that fails partway keeps what it changed before the error, as JavaScript does (forms often trip over an object an earlier version had after their first lines did the work).

+notes = "Changed growable multiline text (no fixed h) reflows from final datasets after edits, with or without scripts; pages/widgets refresh and undo/redo, save/reopen and print retain all text. Oversized text still uses the existing read-only page-text fallback with a warning; fixed-height fields do not reflow. Repeated page-master buttons resolve their own PDF field to the shared XFA click script; the numPages-based print script requests printing from every copy, including after save/reopen (#2572). Rich-text exData/maxLength is carried into AcroForm MaxLen, reported by form_fields and enforced by form_fill (Unicode characters); limits and accepted values survive save/reopen (#2570). laid out from the template on open by the xfa crate (positioned, tb, lr-tb, table/row, page masters (a page area with no occur repeats without limit, one with occur max=1 is used once, one with occur min=1 the body never reached gets a page after the body, as Acrobat Pro does on a synthetic form), breaks, repeated header rows, captions, rich text, JPEG/PNG/GIF images) into real pages and AcroForm fields (text, password, date with AFDate formats, check boxes, radio groups, drop-downs and list boxes with shown/saved item pairs and multi-select, signature fields, image fields showing their picture (pictures decoded once per document, at most 20 million pixels, and reused across re-layouts), buttons with reset/print/save/URL), filled from the datasets packet (including rows another viewer added), saved as an incremental revision with the values merged into the datasets so Adobe's viewers show them; doc_info reports xfa_layout. CLI info reports the laid-out page/field counts and dimensions while retaining the input file size and raw counts as pdf_pages/acroform_fields; text and render use those pages too, preserving copy permissions and leaving the source file unchanged (#1645). XFA JavaScript and FormCalc (form.xfa-formcalc) run in the js crate's XFA object model (xfa.form, SOM resolution, rawValue, formattedValue in a date display picture's pattern (number and text display pictures still give the raw value), presence, access, instance managers, xfa.host, xfa.layout, xfa.event): initialize and calculate on open, exit, validate and calculate after a field changes, click for buttons (through js_run and the app), with rows added and removed, subforms shown and hidden, and the form laid out again, all as one undo step and kept in the file. All the scripts of one event run on one thread, each in a fresh context on the form as the engine holds it then (nothing shared between scripts; the live form kept up to date in place for values, rebuilt only when the structure changed), so hundreds of calculations run within the open budget. Hostile scripts are bounded per event (merged and capped effects, messages and console lines, lower loop limits and a time budget on open and calculate, one datasets rewrite per event, print/save/links/focus from clicks only, a runaway script abandoned and the form's scripts turned off, which the app says in a toast and on the notice bar, with a button to the JavaScript console, and doc_info reports as xfa_scripts_off) and what open-time scripts changed is noted. A script that fails partway keeps what it changed before the error, as JavaScript does (forms often trip over an object an earlier version had after their first lines did the work). Missing: a page area's relevant=\"-print\" (on a synthetic form Acrobat still prints the page but leaves it blank; PdfCraft prints its content, #2574); a page break before the first section (Acrobat opens an empty body page first when the first section has breakBefore targetType=pageArea, with or without startNew, as seen on synthetic forms; PdfCraft skips a break on an empty page and lays out one page fewer, #2574); loops inside nested calls are only stopped by abandoning their thread, and script memory is not capped; the change event per keystroke; xfa.template, connections and data descriptions; a hidden instance of a repeating subform hides them all; barcodes are drawn as their text, not bars; keep rules; metrics are approximate and Acrobat fidelity is eyeballed on real forms, not measured (#60)"
