Update it when a featur - **Shaper:** uneven squares and rectangles become live rectangles even when drawing begins mid-edge. Recognition uses uniformly spaced samples and closed-loop corners, fits rectangle edges/angles rather than requiring a nearly perfect bounding-box fill, and includes the pointer-release position. Rectangles/squares and ellipses snap to 45° steps, hexagons to 90°, and triangles point up or down; lines keep their free angle even with Shift. Shaper Groups retain the live originals, merge regions with the gesture-origin fill, punch fills independently from strokes, remove boundaries on exiting scribbles and trim protruding stroke pieces. Source moves/resizes re-evaluate the result in the same undo step; double-click enters construction editing, and with the Shaper or Selection tool a click on the arrow widget beside a Shaper Group's original shapes switches the group between Face Selection and Construction mode. Native save/reopen, face recoloring, Release and Expand are covered. Finer gesture heuristics remain. In Construction mode, a Selection-tool drag that drops an original shape wholly outside the bounds of the group's original shapes takes it out of the group in the move's undo step (Remove from Shaper Group, `shaper.releaseSource`): the shape becomes a path above the group and stays selected, and a group left with no shapes is removed. Engine tests drag a shape out of a two-shape group and back across the bounds, take the last shape out, undo, and save the result. - **Selection:** Selection, Direct/Group Selection, Magic Wand, Lasso. A Shift-drag marquee toggles what it reaches: objects with the Selection tool, anchors with Direct and Group Selection (#483); the Lasso adds with Shift and subtracts with Alt. Dragging a path segment with Direct Selection bends it when it's curved (its anchors stay) and moves its two anchors when it's straight, one undo step; the fill, Shift or Alt still pick the whole path (Alt-drag copies it). + A Direct Selection marquee over part of a segment, with neither of its anchors inside, selects that segment as a click on it does (Shift toggles it), as [Selecting objects](http://web.archive.org/web/20211230015528/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/selecting-objects.html) describes (#4654). With the Selection or Group Selection tool, pressing E while dragging a marquee makes the marquee select only the objects that lie entirely inside it. Pressing E again switches the marquee back to its default selection. The Lasso picks anchor points only on art a click can pick, and the Add Anchor Point, Delete Anchor Point, Anchor Point and Scissors tools pick anchor points and segments only on the selected paths and on art a click can pick: not on a Shaper Group's original shapes outside Construction mode, and in isolation mode only inside the isolated group or object. Smart Guides and Snap to Point do not snap to a Shaper Group's original shapes, and the reference point of the transform tools snaps to one only when it is selected, or under the pointer in Construction mode. A marquee selects a clip group, or an object on a layer with a clipping mask, only when it reaches the area inside the clipping path, and it measures the art only within that path's bounds. Within the bounds of a mask that is not a rectangle, it can still select art that the mask hides. Direct Selection's marquee still selects the hidden anchor points inside it (#2345). @@ -1206,6 +1207,7 @@ applies to fills).
