 ## Feature submission evidence
 
+Numeric fields step on wheel hover without taking keyboard focus (#5949). Arrow keys still require focus; modifiers, units, limits, mixed values and existing rounding stay in the shared stepping path. Headless regressions in `tests/numfields.rs` cover hovered unfocused fields, focused fields, trackpad accumulation and panel scroll exclusion. Scores and estimates unchanged.
+
 Raster rendering fits and preflattens curved stroke outlines more tightly only below four times the raster tolerance, retaining thin-band coverage without changing stroke weight or vector export geometry. Current cached character/object outlines, cropped long strokes, gradient clips and effect rasters share the helper; cropped-region reuse and guarded flattening remain. The unchanged `fractional_curved_strokes_retain_coverage_between_notches` regression covers fractional weights, rotation, phase, opacity and f32-rounded endpoints. This is a quality/cost tradeoff, not a speed claim. Scores and estimates unchanged.
 
 **PR #3273 revision — 2026-11-04:** Thin curved stroke coverage ported to the current raster-only cache, cropped-long-stroke and effect paths with guarded flattening; vector export geometry unchanged. Scores and estimates unchanged.

 Creating a gradient from solid or empty paint uses the document's color model for its default stops, including drawing its vector with the Gradient tool. Explicit `keepModel: true` retains RGB defaults, and existing gradients keep their own colors. Scores and estimates are unchanged.
