 | 2026-10-14 | minor | Align and Distribute act on the anchor points selected with Direct Selection: the points of one path align to each other, not to the artboard, and Distribute spaces them (#1641, fixes #1636; aligning to a key anchor is still missing); Delete removes every selected anchor of a closed path (it used to remove the wrong ones), removes objects selected whole along with the selected anchors of others, and keeps the remainder selected so a second Delete removes it (#1674); In isolation mode Direct Selection and Group Selection pick only inside the isolated object (#1666); Escape cancels a Direct Selection drag (#1803, #1743); Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches to the Selection tool (#1802, #1686, #1656); A filled Pencil path keeps a stroke of None (#1804, part of #1679); With the Pen, a press that moves under 3 screen pixels is a click (a corner without handles), and a Precise Cursors command toggles the existing preference and can take a shortcut (#1663); The [ and ] keys reach the Blob Brush, the Eraser and the Symbolism tools in the app (#1734, part of #1661); In the Pathfinder panel a group selected alone counts its nested shapes, so an expanded stroked object keeps the Shape Modes enabled (#1642, #1635); Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756); Select › Same matches type on its characters' fill and stroke (#1746, #1737); Fields commit what was typed when you click away or move to another field, as Enter does; Escape still discards it (#1787); Up and Down move through the command search results and Enter runs the highlighted one (#1798, #1757); Slider rails show on Medium Dark (#1808, #1662); On Windows the custom title bar's window stays truly borderless, so the pointer lines up with what is drawn on systems where the hidden caption offset it (#1791, #1758; awaiting the reporter's confirmation); Tool cursors are painted into the window on Wayland (#1652; not run on Linux, #1645 stays open until confirmed); the guide-position row (#1659) is now "not scored": the documentation found doesn't establish it, and it is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision; scores unchanged |
 | 2026-10-13 | minor | Pathfinder's Trim, Merge and Crop remove the objects' strokes, and Merge joins same-fill objects whatever their strokes were, as the public Pathfinder page describes (#1572, fixes #1570); Offset Path with an inset larger than the shapes says the offset leaves nothing, instead of asking to select paths (#1591, fixes #1590); The Symbols panel's New Symbol opens Symbol Options to name the symbol first, and Alt-click skips it (#1566, fixes #1560); Tool flyouts are as wide as their longest translated name and shortcut need, so names no longer run into shortcuts in Spanish and other languages (#1650, fixes #1616); Smart Guides: a point drawn with the Pen or a shape tool, and an anchor dragged with Direct Selection, snaps to where paths and ruler guides cross, labelled "intersect" (#1658, part of #1602; a moved selection's own anchors don't); The Transform panel shows a selected ruler guide's X or Y, and typing a value moves it (#1659, part of #1597). This is not established by the documentation we could find: the public help pages on guides, rulers and the Transform, Control and Properties panels (read again on 2026-10-14) describe selecting and dragging unlocked guides and the panels' X and Y for a selection, not a guide's position in a panel, and the one public statement of it is a user's [community answer](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/adding-a-new-custom-guide-785586), which is not documentation. It is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision, with no parity claim and nothing counted towards a score; Select Behind (Ctrl/Cmd-click) tests each object once, so a deep stack of overlapping objects no longer slows it; same objects in the same order (#1571); Commands that take `ids` run on the objects given with nothing selected, over MCP, the control channel and the CLI too (#1577, fixes #1575); scores unchanged (estimated) |
 | 2026-10-13 | minor | G1/M11: Artboard panel deletion, protected deletion keys and navigator/tool synchronization before and after deletion; history normalization preserves valid multiselection; history regressions and full workspace CI pass; scores and hours unchanged |
