Live Paint builds its faces and edges from path outlines alone. Make,
Merge and the Live Paint Bucket put every selected object among the
group's hidden sources, so type, an image, a symbol, a blend or a group
holding one of them vanished from the canvas. They now refuse such a
selection before changing anything ("Live Paint takes paths and compound
paths: convert type, images and other objects to paths first"), as type
and raster images can't go into a Live Paint group directly
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/learn-painting-basics/create-live-paint-groups.html).
One predicate, vectorcraft_tools::builder::live_paint_takes (Live Paint
groups, paths, compound paths and groups of them), decides it for Make,
Merge and the Properties panel's Merge Live Paint, which no longer shows
for a selection Merge refuses. The message has an @msg row in every
catalog.
Tests: tests_build::live_paint_refuses_type_and_images_and_changes_nothing
(Merge, Make and the Bucket with type, an image or a group holding type:
refused, document, selection and undo history unchanged; a group of
paths and a path still merge) and
panels::properties::tests::merge_live_paint_is_a_quick_action_for_a_live_paint_group_and_more
(hidden with type selected). Both fail without the change.

The Properties panel has the additional contextual controls the public
Properties panel overview lists
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/properties-panel-overview.html),
each running the existing command:
- Quick Actions: Blend Options for one selected blend while the Blend
tool is in use (the Blend Options dialog; OK is one undo step), and
Merge Live Paint when a Live Paint group is selected with more objects
(livePaint.merge).
- Appearance: the stroke's Variable Width Profile list (the Control
bar's) with the Width tool or when the stroke has a variable width
(stroke.set {profile}); beside fx, with one effect on the one selected
object (its own, or a fill's or stroke's), its name and a Delete icon
that removes it (effect.remove); with several, the icon opens the
Appearance panel, as the overview describes.
- With Direct Selection and corners of one path selected, Corner and
Corner Radius set those corners' kind and radius
(object.setLiveShape); a live rectangle's and polygon's own rows
already do, so they get no second row.
The overview's Variable Font icon was already in Character. Every label
is already in every catalog.

Review of #3924: in a flat area of ` <<(` (CMYK or RGBA 32, 60, 60, 40) in an uncompressed image, each `<<` after white space was read as a dictionary, and each read its string, which never ends, to 64 KiB past it: about 16 K bytes a pixel, so a few hundred bytes of it spent the budget and the file was refused.
Whether a byte in a literal string is escaped doesn't depend on where reading began (the run of `\` before it lies after any `(` before it), so the string from any `(` ends after the first `)` that takes the file-wide count of `(` less `)` below the count at that `(`. Those ends are found for the whole file in three linear passes the first time a string read in skipped text runs past 64 bytes: forward for the final count, back for the `(` whose string never ends, forward pairing the rest. Ends further than 64 bytes are kept (at most one for every 16 bytes of the file; a file built to nest past that is refused); nearer ones are read again. So entering a string costs at most 64 bytes, charged as one. A comment's end of line is kept for every comment read, not only the last.
Review of #3924: every `<<` in a string, comment or stream's data was read as a dictionary of its own, and in a run of `<` (an uncompressed image's flat area of grey 60) every position is one, each read to past the run, so about N²/2 bytes for N `<` and a 1 MiB run refused the file.
The reader starts a dictionary there only where its repair scan tries one (after white space or a dictionary's `>>`) or after an object's `N G obj`: so only those `<<` are read, in a run of `<` only the first. A reading goes on as far as 64 KiB past the last `<<` opened on the way, looks at each nested dictionary's `>>` for a stream and marks each `<<`, so it is not read again; a comment's end of line is kept, as many readings cross the same comment; the `<<<` second-`<` reading in the main pass goes (the reader never starts there). The dictionary text a stream check parses is charged to the budget.
Review of #3919: the scan raised its walk-back floor at every `>>stream`, so one inside a literal string moved the floor past the `<<` of the cross-reference stream around it, and that stream was never looked at. The backward walk also counted a `>>` inside a string, and missed a comment between `>>` and `stream`.
The scan now reads the file forward once, as the reader does: literal strings (nested, escaped), hex strings and comments are skipped, `<<` and `>>` pair on a stack, and a dictionary followed by `stream` is a stream's, whose data is skipped. Because the reader can still start at a `<<` inside skipped text (a cross-reference offset or its repair scan), each such `<<` is read as a dictionary of its own, up to 64 KiB, within a budget of four times the file plus 1 MiB; a crafted file that spends it is refused. The scan stays linear.
An installed family was added to the font database one file at a time, so a
lookup on another thread could find it with only some of its styles: text
falling back to Arial took Arial Bold Italic or Bold (its files sort first)
for upright Regular text, and the same text laid out a moment later took
Arial Regular. One Arabic word could even mix the two. Two threads loading
the same family could also add a face twice.
A family's files are now read and parsed first and their faces added under
one lock, skipping faces another thread added meanwhile. Loading a family
reports it loaded when another thread loaded it meanwhile, so the fallback
search doesn't go on to other families.
This made tests_bidi::a_change_of_paint_in_a_mixed_direction_line_moves_no_glyph
fail intermittently when another test loaded Arial at the same time.
Each `stream` keyword walked back up to 64 KiB through every dictionary before it, so 1 MiB of `<</A <</B 1>> >>stream` took minutes. A walk back now stops where the previous keyword's walk began, and a stream without a Length shares the search for the next `endstream`.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): each thumbnail hashed every symbol's and pattern's art before its
texture cache lookup, so a panel frame cost visible tiles × (symbols + patterns) even when every
thumbnail was cached. The Symbols panel works the key out once per frame, a symbol library panel
once per library it shows, and the dragged chip once; thumbnails take it as given.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): the library panel test only checked the drag payload. The new
canvas test drops PanelDrag::LibrarySymbol over art and checks that the symbol joins the
document's Symbols, an instance is placed with its centre at the drop point in document
coordinates and at its natural size, as one Add to Symbols undo step that undo takes back.
The hover's context now includes the active tool (PR review follow-up):
switching to the Selection tool with Alt held and the pointer still
showed no Distance Guides until the pointer moved, since the new tool
had never hovered. A tool switch re-hovers at the pointer whatever the
tool; the rest of the context (canvas, view, document and revision)
re-hovers tools that ask (Tool::wants_rehover).
canvas::tests::distance_guides_follow_what_lies_under_a_still_pointer
adds a tool switch (fails without the rule), a modal dialog with its
backdrop over the pointer, and another document opened under it.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): thumbnails rendered the symbol alone in an empty document, so a
symbol nesting another one, or painting with a pattern or showing an image, lost that art in the
Symbols panel and in symbol library panels. The preview now renders an instance alone on a copy of
the document (or library) the symbol comes from, which keeps its resources but none of its art,
and the thumbnail cache also follows the art of the document's symbols and patterns.
Window › Symbol Libraries and the Symbols panel's Symbol Libraries Menu open each symbol library
in a library panel of its own, on the shared library panel code the swatch and graphic style
libraries use (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/traces-mockups-symbols/create-or-import-symbol-libraries.html,
.../symbols-panel-options.html, .../create-and-place-symbols.html).
- Basic Shapes: one original library generated in code (circle, squares, triangle, diamond,
hexagon, star, burst, arrow); no other app's libraries.
- A click adds a library symbol to the document's Symbols as one undo step, with its Symbol
Options and the resources it uses (nested symbols, patterns, swatches, brushes, graphic styles,
images), and makes it the current symbol; one already there isn't added again, a clash of
names numbers the library's. Shift/Cmd-clicks select for Add to Symbols. Dragging a library
symbol onto the canvas adds it and places an instance there, in the same step.
- Save Symbols… (library menu, Window menu) and Save Symbol Library… (Symbols panel menu) write
the document's symbols as a .vectorcraft document holding only them, into the user library
folder (User Defined, window.userSymbolLibrary1-10) or a file; Other Library… reads the symbols
of any document VectorCraft opens, and a file it can't read is an error.
Commands: symbol.libraries, symbol.library, symbol.addFromLibrary (place, x, y),
symbol.saveLibrary, symbol.loadLibrary; UI: window.symbolLibrary (.other), ui.saveSymbolLibrary
(dialog saveSymbolLibrary). i18n rows in every complete catalog; docs updated.
One rule for the hover's context (PR review follow-ups): the target is
recomputed where the pointer is, or cleared, whenever what lies under it
can change while Alt is held.
- The tool hovers only where the pointer is on the canvas itself
(`on_canvas`): under a floating panel, a menu, a popup or a dialog
its hover ends (Tool::hover_ended), as when the pointer leaves the
canvas or a pan, zoom or view-rotation press starts.
- The canvas keeps the hover's context: its rect, the view's centre,
zoom and rotation, and the active document's id and revision (which
moves with every edit, undo and selection change). When it changes
under a still pointer, a tool that asks (Tool::wants_rehover; the
Selection tool after an Alt hover) is hovered again at the pointer,
so wheel, gesture, key or command scrolling and zooming, tab
switches, edits and undos re-measure.
- Coming back onto the canvas re-hovers the tool.
canvas::tests::distance_guides_follow_what_lies_under_a_still_pointer:
a floating window over the pointer (fails without the on_canvas filter),
a 150 pt scroll that leaves empty artboard under it (fails without the
re-hover), a square made under it. select::tests::distance_guides_need_
alt_a_selection_and_smart_guides checks wants_rehover.
An Alt+Space pan press went to Drag::Pan and never reached the tool, so the Distance Guides stayed through the pan until the pointer left the canvas (PR review follow-up). One rule now covers all three cases: the tool's hover ends (Tool::hover_ended, renamed from pointer_left; Session::tool_hover_ended) when the pointer leaves the canvas with no press the tool holds, and when a press starts any drag that doesn't reach the tool (pan, middle-button pan, zoom box or scrub, view rotation, touch gesture). canvas::tests::distance_guides_go_when_the_hover_ends asserts they go at an Alt+Space press and stay gone panning out over a panel.
The pointer-left check skipped every drag, so Alt+Space panning out over a panel kept the measurements (PR review follow-up). Only a press the tool holds (Drag::Tool, Drag::Art) keeps its state now; pan, zoom box, zoom scrub, view rotation, gesture and presentation drags never reach the tool. canvas::tests::distance_guides_go_when_the_pointer_leaves_the_canvas pans out with Alt+Space; it fails with the old drag.is_none() check.
Leaving the canvas (for a panel, or out of the window) sent the tool no
hover event, so the Selection tool kept its Alt-hover target and went
on drawing the measurements (PR review finding).
- Tool::pointer_left: the pointer left the canvas with no button held;
the Selection tool drops its Distance Guides target and its Smart
Guides hover label. Session::tool_pointer_left reaches it.
- The canvas remembers whether the pointer was over it last frame: on
leaving with no drag it calls tool_pointer_left; on coming back it
re-hovers the tool even after a single jump egui doesn't count as
moving, so the guides show again.
Tests: canvas::tests::distance_guides_go_when_the_pointer_leaves_the_
canvas (fails before: the label stayed over a panel with Alt held),
select::tests::distance_guides_need_alt_a_selection_and_smart_guides
(pointer_left clears them).
Distance Guides, from the public "Use Distance Guides for accurate
placement" and "Smart Guides options" (Invoke Distance Guides) pages:
with Smart Guides on, something selected and the Selection tool,
holding Alt/Option over another object shows the horizontal and
vertical distances between the selection and it, and over an empty
part of an artboard the selection's distances from the artboard's left,
right, top and bottom edges.
- guides::distance_guides measures the selection's bounds to a box: on
an axis on which they lie apart, the gap between their facing edges;
otherwise the offsets of both pairs of matching edges. Each line runs
across the middle of the overlap on the other axis (else the
selection's middle), with a dashed line out to the target's edge when
it passes beside it. An artboard is always measured edge to edge.
Labels are in the General unit, in the smart guide colour.
- The Selection tool keeps what its Alt hover points at and draws the
guides while idle; letting Alt go (the canvas re-hovers on a modifier
change), a press or moving off clears them.
- Overlay::Distance: the line with end ticks and its length in a pill;
the canvas draws it.
- Preferences › Smart Guides › Invoke Distance Guides (`distanceGuides`,
on by default), with i18n rows; View › Smart Guides gates it too.
- Hover only, as the pages describe: nothing while moving or nudging.
Tests: select::tests::alt_over_* (gap and edges beside and below,
artboard edges in pt and mm), distance_guides_need_alt_a_selection_and_
smart_guides, tests_prefs::invoke_distance_guides_measures_the_selection_
to_the_object_under_alt, canvas::tests::alt_over_another_object_draws_
the_distance_guide_label (frame test of the drawn label and line).
Review follow-up (#3785, CodeRabbit): commands in SELECTS_GIVEN_IDS run select.set with the given ids before their body; when the body then returned an ordinary error, the ids stayed selected (and their layer current), while a panic restored the selection and refused ids never changed it. The dispatcher now keeps the active document's selection and current layer from before select.set and restores them when the body errors. This affects every command in SELECTS_GIVEN_IDS (Duplicate, Arrange, Clipping Mask, Compound Path, Group/Ungroup, Hide, Lock, Move, the Pathfinder panel commands including Trap, and the transforms). Tests: Trap with ids whose edges don't meet, and Intersect with ids of shapes that don't overlap, leave the selection as it was.
Review follow-up (#3785, CodeRabbit): traps() tried every pair of visible solid paths on each redraw of the live effect and in the panel command, so many separated shapes cost quadratic work that neither the segment cap nor the overlap budget bounds. Each visible part's bounds are now computed once and a sort-and-sweep on x finds the pairs whose bounds come within the trap's reach (the clamped thickness across x, thickness × height/width across y, plus a hair for rounding); only those reach same_color, lighter and trap_band, which rejected the rest by the same bounds test, so the traps and their order are unchanged. Tests: 2,000 separated squares of two colours and one abutting pair give one candidate pair and one trap; the traps of a mixed scene match those of each pair alone, in order.
The Pathfinder panel menu's Trap… (object.pathfinder.trap) and Effect › Pathfinder › Trap… (pathfinder.trap, live on groups) share one geometry (vectorcraft_pathops::trap_band, vectorcraft_effects::trap): Thickness, Height/Width, Tint Reduction, Traps with Process Color and Reverse Traps, plus the effect's Precision and Remove Redundant Points. The panel's Trap is one undo step and groups the traps above the topmost selected object. Behaviour from https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/trapping.html and https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/pathfinder-panel-overview.html.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): -80 pt at 0° drew the line leftwards but
kept 80 pt at 0°, so the next click drew it rightwards. Both now use
80 pt at 180°.
Step 3 of the Rectangular Grid tool and Arc tool help pages
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/rectangular-grid-tool.html,
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/arc-tool.html)
and the Tools page (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html)
say a double-click on the tool opens its Tool Options. For these four tools
the double-click (tool.options, and Enter once #2891 lands) said the tool
had no options (#2691).
The Tool Options are the tool's click dialog in dialogs/shapes.rs, opened
without a place to draw (shapes::open_options; a `__toolOptions` field
marks it), as the review of #2979 asked: no copied form code. Its OK runs
tool.setOption and draws nothing; Cancel changes nothing. The grids' dialogs
are titled Rectangular Grid / Polar Grid Tool Options there. The options
are what the next drag draws with and what a click's dialog opens at:
- Line Segment: Length and Angle (now kept by the tool and used by the
click dialog) and Fill Line (new: shape.line {fill: true} gives the line
the current fill; the click dialog has it too);
- Arc: lengths, Reference Point, Type, Base Along, Slope, Fill Arc;
- the grids: dividers, skews and switches, plus the Default Size and
Reference Point, now kept by the tool (width, height, reference) for the
click dialog; a drag leaves them out of its command.
The grids' Reference Point is drawn only as the 9-point locator (it also
showed as a plain number field).
New strings (Rectangular Grid Tool Options, Polar Grid Tool Options, Fill
Line) have rows in all 24 catalogs.
Verification:
toolbar::tests::double_clicking_the_line_arc_and_grid_tools_opens_their_tool_options
double-clicks each tool's toolbar button: the dialog and its title, Cancel
leaves the next drag as it was, OK draws nothing, the next drag uses the
option and a click's dialog opens at it (a grid at its Default Size);
line_segment_options_and_fill_line, grid_default_size_is_an_option_the_drag_leaves_out,
fill_line_gives_a_new_line_the_current_fill. Grid dialog tests now expect
the stored Default Size. Live: double-clicking the Rectangular Grid tool in
the release build opens Rectangular Grid Tool Options; OK with 2 and 3
dividers, then a drag, draws a 3 × 4 grid.
As Illustrator's help describes (Filter fonts by classification, Font Technology › Variable), the font menu gets a Font Technology row whose Variable choice lists only the families with variation axes, together with the script, kind, favourites and search filters, and stays set from one opening to the next. A family is variable when any of its faces, loaded or scanned, has an `fvar` table, so a family installed as static files beside a variable one counts.
Spec: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/fonts-and-scripts/find-apply-and-adjust-variable-fonts.html
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit, clean-room): the test header, gaps.md and
target-app-parity.md quoted a phrase from the cited help page. Comments
and docs only.
The Simplify help page says a path can be simplified whole or "a specific
path region with the Direct Selection tool"
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/modify-paths/manually-simplify-paths.html).
Simplify refitted every selected path whole, whatever part of it was
direct-selected.
object.path.simplify now looks at each path's direct selection: the
segments picked as segments, or else every segment with both anchors
selected. Each run of consecutive selected segments is refitted on its own
(vectorcraft_pathops::simplify_part) between its two end anchors, which stay
where they are with their handles on the side away from the run; every
other anchor and segment stays exactly as it was. A closed path's run may
cross its start point (the path then starts at the run's end anchor),
separate runs on one path simplify independently in one undo step, and the
runs stay direct-selected (as segments when segments were picked). A path
with only lone anchors selected still simplifies whole, as before, and
wholePaths: true simplifies partly selected paths whole. The slider, its
preview, Auto-Simplify and the Simplify dialog all run the command, so
they act on the part too. simplify_with now shares its run fitting with
the part refit (same results).
Verification: crates/engine/src/tests_simplify_part.rs (unselected anchors
and segments equal bit for bit, run end anchors fixed, the run within the
tolerance, two runs equal to each simplified alone in one undo step, a
closed run across the start point, picked segments, wholePaths, slider
preview and Auto-Simplify, a run that can't be simpler records no step)
and simplify_slider_and_dialog_simplify_only_the_direct_selected_part_of_a_path
(the slider's preview, Enter and the dialog's OK). Live: the release build's
slider at level 20 on a 91-anchor wave with anchors 30–60 selected refits
only that stretch.
The drawing modes help page
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/learn-drawing-basics/drawing-modes-overview.html)
has you draw or paste into the selected object in Draw Inside. The isolation
help page
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/select-objects/isolate-objects.html)
isolates a path, group or object on a double-click with the Selection tool,
and puts art added in isolation mode where the isolated art was once the mode
ends, so that art belongs with what is isolated.
Steps: select a path, choose Draw Inside, double-click the path with the
Selection tool (it is isolated), then draw or paste. The art went into the
clip group Draw Inside makes around the path, but isolation mode stayed on the
bare path, so the new art was outside it: drawn dimmed, passed through by
clicks and marquees, and a double-click on it selected the path and never
entered the clip group. Double-clicking an existing Draw Inside clip group
from outside isolation mode already isolated it, and pastes then went inside
it; that is unchanged.
Cause: create::insert_look_turned and edit::paste_clip put the art into
create::draw_inside_group's clip group but left DocState::isolation on the
object drawn into, and with a single object isolated, hit testing reaches
only that object.
Change: when the object drawn into is the isolated one, isolation moves to its
clip group (create::isolate_draw_inside_group), after new art and after Draw
Inside pastes. A drag's previews replay from its snapshot and make the group
under the same id, and cancelling the drag restores the isolation it began
with. Undo and redo end isolation mode when the isolated object is no longer
in the document (the undone clip group), as mask editing already does,
instead of keeping an id a later object may take.
Verification: drawing_inside_an_isolated_object_keeps_the_new_art_in_isolation_mode
fails without the change (isolation Some(NodeId(2)) instead of the clip group
Some(NodeId(6))). A whole-window egui run through the control channel's
ui.click/ui.drag (double-click the rectangle, drag an ellipse inside, paste,
click the copy) left isolation on the rectangle and the click selected the
rectangle before; after, isolation is on the clip group and the click selects
the copy.
#3836 added the message without @msg rows, so
complete_languages_translate_every_message fails on main (cs first, then
every language in COMPLETE_MESSAGES). Each row follows the catalog's own
"PDF settings are not an object" row and its word for Security.
Cause: since #3742 place_each measures a line's spacing from the file's
own widths, so tracking is only the file's Tc/Tw/TJ. Where the widths
are systematically off the installed font's advances (up to the 1% that
still counts as the same font), those differences add up along a line
and nothing made up for them. With no kerning and every tracking value
0, place_each returned the untracked layout early, without the 0.02 em
placement check (CodeRabbit's review of #3742): a line of embedded
Source Sans 3 with /Widths 0.8% wide opened 3.7 pt off. With the early
return removed the check rejects the line and the line-wide fit takes
over: one whole-thousandth tracking value with the font's kerning,
0.30 pt off (as before #3715). Before #3742 main placed it exactly but
with a run per character (49 and 62 runs).
Change: the early return is gone; every line goes through the check.
Before it, on_course() keeps the file's spacing where the glyphs stay
within 0.01 em of the file's; otherwise each stretch of the line takes
one share after every character (the longest stretch one share keeps
within 0.01 em), so ordinary text stays one run, and a line whose
differences change course (30 m then 30 i) takes a run per stretch (2).
Verification: new test
a_long_line_of_widths_a_little_off_the_fonts_advances_lands_in_one_run
(embedded Source Sans 3, widths x1.008 and x0.992, a kerned and an
unkerned line): one run each, glyphs under 0.24 pt (0.02 em) from where
the file draws them. Without on_course it fails after #3742, with and
without the early return ("glyphs 0.300 pt"); before #3742 it fails on
the run count. It replaces an Inter test drafted for the review: Inter
isn't embedded there, so the file's outlines are the interpreter's
stand-in stretched to the widths, not Inter, and the contours differ by
0.6 pt even with exact widths. tests_text_placement and
text_becomes_point_type pass; cargo xtask ci: all 10 steps passed.
Thanks to the CodeRabbit review on #3742 for the early-return finding.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): the clip group's mask copied the target with
only a new root id, so a compound path's subpaths had the same ids in the
mask and in the object. The mask is now Document::reid's copy. Paste on All
Artboards with only an artboard on the clipboard made an empty Draw Inside
clip group; it now needs objects to paste.
draw_inside_a_compound_path_gives_its_mask_ids_of_its_own: without the
change an id is used twice (7 ids for 6 nodes).
The drawing-modes help page
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/learn-drawing-basics/drawing-modes-overview.html)
has you draw or paste into the selected object in Draw Inside. It also says
the modes apply to Paste in Place and Paste on All Artboards but not to Paste
in Front or Paste in Back.
Cause: only new art (create::insert_look) read the drawing mode. The paste
commands (edit::paste_clip) always used the insertion parent, so a paste in
Draw Inside landed on the layer above the object, outside the clip.
Double-clicking the object first only isolated the bare path, which didn't
change where the paste went. Separately, view.drawMode {} went from Draw
Behind to Draw Inside whenever one object was selected, then refused it unless
the object was a path, compound path or type. So with one group selected
(such as the clip group Draw Inside makes), Shift+D and the toolbar button
failed every time and stayed in Draw Behind.
Change: the clip-group wrapping moves into create::draw_inside_group, which
new art and pastes now share. In Draw Inside, Paste, Paste in Place and Paste
on All Artboards insert the copies at the top of that group, in the paste's
one undo step, ignoring Paste Remembers Layers. In Draw Behind, Paste in Place
and Paste on All Artboards go just below the selection, as Paste in Back does.
Paste in Front, Paste in Back and pasted artboards keep their placement.
Shift+D goes on to Draw Inside only when it can draw into the selection, and
otherwise back to Draw Normal.
Verification: pasting_in_draw_inside_puts_the_copies_inside_the_object,
paste_in_place_in_draw_behind_goes_behind_the_selection and
shift_d_goes_past_draw_behind_whatever_is_selected all fail without the
change ("Layer" != "Clip Group"; index 3 != 0; the Draw Inside error on a
selected group). cargo xtask ci: all 10 steps passed.
The Artboard Options help pages describe two display options
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/organize-manage-artboards/modify-display-settings-of-artboards.html,
.../set-video-display-options-for-artboards.html): a mark at the artboard's
center, and lines from the middle of each side through the center. The
document already had show_center_mark and show_cross_hairs on Artboard, but
nothing set or drew them.
artboard.setProps (each `artboards` entry too) and artboard.new take
showCenterMark and showCrossHairs as true/false, in the same single undo
step as the other fields; a locked artboard can still change them.
Artboard Options has both checkboxes, filled in from the artboard whether
it opens from the panel or a double-click with the Artboard tool, and its
New Artboard form passes them to artboard.new. The canvas draws them in the
new theme token artboard_mark, 1 point wide on screen at any zoom: a cross
12 points across at the center whose arms follow the artboard's sides, and
the two cross hairs. They are screen-only like the edges; exports and print
never read the fields. inspect_document reports them when on. Saved files
are unchanged: the two keys were already always written, so a document that
never shows them saves byte for byte as before, and a file without the keys
opens with both off. Video safe areas, video rulers and the pixel aspect
ratio are not part of this change.
Verification: artboard_display_marks_are_set_and_cleared_in_one_undo_step,

artboard_display_marks_stay_out_of_exports (SVG and PDF identical with the

The Simplify help page says the slider starts at an auto-simplified value
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/draw-shapes-and-paths/modify-paths/manually-simplify-paths.html).
The slider opened at a fixed level 50 (1 pt), whatever the size of the
selection, so the first preview was the same tolerance for a 30 pt icon as
for a 1000 pt drawing.
The level Auto-Simplify picks for the selection is now one engine function,
vectorcraft_engine::auto_simplify_level (the existing 1/400-of-the-longer-
side rule in vectorcraft_pathops), which object.path.simplify {auto: true}
and the slider's opening fields both use. Object › Path › Simplify (and
ui.menuDialog, the Properties and contextual task bar buttons, which go
through the same menu dialog) opens the slider there, and the canvas
previews that result; Auto-Simplify still moves the slider back to it.
The retained Simplify dialog path is unchanged.
Verification: simplify_slider_opens_at_the_auto_simplify_level_of_the_selection
opens the slider on 1140, 285 and 28.5 pt waves (levels 35, 55, 89) and
checks the preview is exactly object.path.simplify {auto: true}'s result;
without the change it fails with level 50 != 35, and
simplify_opens_a_slider_whose_drag_previews_fewer_or_more_points fails with
{"level": 50} != {"level": 55}. cargo xtask ci: all 10 steps passed.
Cause: place_each (crates/pdf/src/import_text.rs, #3715) works out each
character's tracking as the file's distance between glyph origins minus
the installed font's advance. A PDF gives widths to the thousandth of an
em (the standard-14 AFM metrics or /Widths), so with a font of 2048 units
an em (Helvetica on macOS) every character is a hair (~0.0002 em) off.
When the line isn't evenly spaced as a whole (a TJ word gap, a space read
from a gap), `even` keeps every character's own value, rounding noise
included, and restyled() splits the line into a run per character.
text_becomes_point_type failed on macOS; Linux CI passed because Helvetica
isn't installed there, its stand-in's widths differ by more than 1% and
place_each falls back to the line-wide fit.
Change: measure the spacing from the file's own widths: each character's
pen is moved by how much wider the file says the characters before it are
than the font's advances, where the file gives the character's width and
the layout sets it as a glyph of its own. The tracking is then the file's
(Tc, Tw, TJ), whatever font is installed; the layout check that the glyphs
land within 0.02 em of the file's places is unchanged.
Verification: text_becomes_point_type and all of tests_text_placement pass
on macOS. New test widths_rounded_off_the_installed_fonts_advances_keep_one_tracking
uses built-in Inter (non-embedded, widths rounded to thousandths), so it
doesn't depend on system fonts; without the fix it fails on any platform
with runs N/e/x/t/ /li/n/e/ /h/e/re. cargo xtask ci: all 10 steps passed.
Cause: with Snap to Point, the point of a moved selection that snaps to a
ruler guide is the grabbed point (#1534). Away from an anchor or center
that was the raw pressed spot (select.rs: `grab` fell back to `p`;
direct.rs: a straight segment's `grab: p`, MoveObject's `start`). A press
on a stroke or within the pick tolerance of an edge lies a few pixels
beside the path, so the pressed spot landed on the guide, "align" showed,
and the path stopped that far beside it: 0.096 pt at 3,891% and 0.0099 pt
at 28,757% in the #3701 screenshots, visible only when zoomed in.
Change: `guides::hold_on_path` finds the nearest point of the path (on a
straight segment exactly on its line). `select::hold_point` uses it for a
press on the stroke or outline, or within 6 px of it. The Selection tool
(`State::Moving::hold`), Direct and Group Selection moves
(`State::MoveObject::hold`) and Direct Selection's straight-segment drag
(`grab`) snap that point. The move delta still runs from the press, so
nothing jumps. A press in the middle of a fill still snaps the pressed
spot, as Snap to Point is documented to.
Verification: tests_prefs::a_move_held_by_a_paths_stroke_lands_the_path_on_a_ruler_guide
and tests_prefs::a_straight_segment_dragged_by_direct_selection_lands_on_a_ruler_guide
fail without the change (edge 0.0257 pt and anchors -0.0052 pt off the
guide) and pass with it (|gap| < 1e-9 pt). A headless egui/wgpu render at
3,891% and 28,757% puts the guide, the selection outline and the centre of
the 1 pt stroke band in the same pixel column. cargo xtask ci: all 10
steps passed; 9429 tests passed, 0 failed.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): a text node's characters carry their own fill
(CharStyle), saved apart from the node's appearance, so conform also checks
the runs of the label. dimension_colours_follow_the_document_colour_model
opens a CMYK document whose label characters alone are RGB; without the
change they stay RGB.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): leaving a dashed brush stroke out of the
paint count still let a fill plus that stroke count as one paint, so the
fill and each brush piece took the object opacity separately and the fill
showed through the brush art. A visible dashed brush stroke now forces the
layered path, like a non-solid paint does, and counts normally otherwise.
brush_fx::tests::object_opacity_fades_a_brushed_stroke_once compares a
brushed rectangle at object opacity 0.5 with the same rectangle in a group
at 0.5, with and without a dash and a fill; before the change the fill
plus dashed brush case had 1440 differing pixels.
Follow-up to #3702 (CodeRabbit): dimensions are only redrawn when their
recipe changes. Document Color Mode converted their art through the colour
profile, so black became a four-ink C67 M67 Y67 K100 again, and CMYK files
saved before #3702 kept RGB dimension art.
dimension::refresh now also redraws when the document's colour mode
changes. dimension::conform, run when a document is opened or reverted
(Session::add_document, replace_document), redraws a dimension whose art
has colours in the wrong model; one that can't be redrawn keeps its art.
dimension_colours_follow_the_document_colour_model covers RGB to CMYK and
back, and a CMYK document with RGB dimension art being opened. Without the
change it finds C0.67 M0.67 Y0.67 K1 after Document Color Mode.
Follow-up to #3697 (CodeRabbit): a brush stroke is drawn as separate
pieces (draw_brush), so folding object opacity into its colour isn't exact.
A non-dashed brush stroke already counted as one paint before #3697; to
keep that change's scope, a dashed stroke counts as one paint only when it
has no brush. dashed_stroke_opacity_folds_into_its_colour checks that a
dashed brush stroke isn't folded; it fails without the change.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): the kept 2026-10-05 assessment still read
"raster effects (~20%)" with no pointer, unlike the other rows of that
table this PR annotated. It now notes the 57/57 filters and the Effect
Gallery (#2883) and points to the area table, leaving the historical
number as it was.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): a linear gradient expands to a mesh with a
column at each stop, and the mesh mixes linearly between columns, so a
Perceptual blue -> yellow came out as the grey RGB mix in the middle.
`breaks` now also takes a column at each stop the Perceptual expansion adds
(Gradient::expanded), so the mesh follows the OKLab curve; Classic is
unchanged. the_mesh_option_makes_a_mesh_that_paints_the_gradient gains a
Perceptual case; without the change 1812 pixels differ from the gradient.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): the test's doc comment quoted a phrase from
the public help page. AGENTS.md allows feature names and a cited URL, not
copied wording; the comment now describes the behaviour itself and keeps
the URL.
Illustrator 30.0's Method choice in the Gradient panel
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/create-and-edit-gradients/control-perceptual-interpolation-in-gradients.html).
- paint.editGradient takes `method: classic|perceptual` (one undo step);
paint.setFill/setStroke take it in `gradient`, and gradient params (swatches,
copied paints) carry it when Perceptual. Anything else is refused without
editing. One edit can set `method` and `dither` together.
- The Gradient panel shows a Method menu (Classic, Perceptual) for linear and
radial gradients, dimmed without a gradient; the Dither box stays under the
stops.
- i18n: "Perceptual" where a complete catalog lacked it, and the `method`
error in all 24 catalogs.
- Docs: G13 (estimate 14–24 h → 13–23 h, after Dither's 15–25 h → 14–24 h),
target-app-parity (row and evidence), ui-parity, mcp.md, plugins.md.
Illustrator 30.0's gradient Method, from the public documentation
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/create-and-edit-gradients/control-perceptual-interpolation-in-gradients.html):
Classic or Perceptual; perceptual interpolation matches colour transitions to
how the eye perceives differences between colours, and perceptual gradients
are rasterised when saved as PDF or SVG.
- Gradient gains `method` (Classic | Perceptual; serde default Classic,
written only when Perceptual, so older files open as Classic and Classic
files are written as before). The colour crate's OKLab helpers open up for it.
- Perceptual mixes neighbouring stop colours in OKLab (sample, and
sample_keep_model for the stroke meshes, Expand and blends); opacity stays
linear. Renderers that mix linearly get stops on the perceptual curve,
placed by halving each half segment where a straight line strays more than
0.4 of a colour level (a nearly straight segment needs none). Classic
gradients expand exactly as before.
- draws_as_pixels includes Perceptual gradients, so SVG and PDF write a
Perceptual fill or stroke as an image at the document's raster effects
resolution, clipped to what it paints. A gradient along or across a stroke
stays slices (PDF no longer draws it as a within-stroke image).
- With Dither: a dithered Perceptual fill is the perceptual mix with dither's
noise (the canvas's dithered grids are keyed by method too); SVG and PDF
write it as an image with the noise, and a dithered Perceptual stroke as an
image without it, as the canvas draws it (GradientPaint::pixels, SVG's
raster_paint and PDF's area are told whether they paint a fill).
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): the refusal skipped any request carrying a
`swatch` key, so `"swatch": null` with a dithered gradient got through.
Only a named swatch (a gradient swatch keeps its own dither) is exempt now.
The dither test sends `"swatch": null`; it fails without the change.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): a gradient drawn as pixels was sized from its
area in the space it is drawn in, so type scaled 4 times got a quarter of the
raster effects resolution; the image is now sized from the area on the page,
within the same pixel caps. And type whose fill is drawn as art (a dithered
or freeform gradient's image, a pattern) went out as outlines only; its
characters are now also written as invisible text (rendering mode 3), as
unpainted type already is, so they can be selected and searched.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): paint.setStroke kept `dither: true` from its
gradient, and a stroke can hold dither anyway (swapped from a fill). Outline
Stroke and appearance expansion copied the stroke's paint into the outline's
fill, which then drew dithered although the stroke never did. The outline's
fill now goes without dither (Paint::stroke_as_fill), and paint.setStroke
refuses a gradient with `dither: true`, as paint.editGradient does.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): a dithered fill skipped set_paint's guard for
a gradient without stops and sampled a transparent grid to draw nothing. It
now takes the same no-fill path.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): a large dithered gradient mostly off-screen
sampled its whole grid (up to 4096 x 4096 cells, 64 MiB) to draw a small
visible part, and did it again on each zoom step. The renderer now samples
only the cells the render target can show, a cell more each way for the
bilinear mix, snapped out to 256-cell tiles so a pan within them reuses the
grid. Cells keep their place in the whole grid, so the gradient and its
noise are the same pixels as before (GradientPaint::pixels_within).
Illustrator 30.0's gradient Dither, from the public documentation
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/create-and-edit-gradients/control-dither-in-gradients.html):
a Dither checkbox in the Gradient panel; dither converts the gradient into
pixels with subtle noise, works with gradient fills only, and follows the
Document Raster Effects resolution.
- Gradient gains `dither` (serde default false, written only when on, so
older files open unchanged and new files keep it).
- The renderer draws a dithered linear or radial fill as an image paint: the
gradient sampled a cell per device pixel or finer (quarter-octave steps,
cached per thread), each channel given seeded triangular noise of up to a
level before rounding. Same pixels every run; strokes and undithered fills
draw exactly as before. PNG and other raster exports go through it.
- SVG and PDF write a dithered fill as an image at the document's raster
effects resolution, clipped to the shape (the freeform-gradient path);
characters' fills stay vector gradients in SVG, with a warning.
- paint.editGradient and paint.setFill take `dither`; strokes refuse it.
The Gradient panel's Dither box is dimmed behind the Stroke proxy.
- i18n rows in all 24 catalogs; docs: G13, target-app-parity, ui-parity,
mcp.md, plugins.md.
Shared groundwork for gradient options SVG and PDF can't express (Illustrator
30's dither and perceptual gradients): GradientPaint::pixels samples a placed
linear or radial gradient on a grid (Ramp: its stops, midpoints as stops, mixed
as the renderer mixes them), and draws_as_pixels says which gradients are drawn
that way (freeform ones, so far). The SVG and PDF writers' freeform-gradient
image path takes any such gradient, a linear or radial one at the document's
raster effects resolution. No change in output yet.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): a line that wasn't valid JSON was reported
by its line only, while every other --commands error names the run's step.
It now says `step N (line L)`, N counted with the --cmd steps before it.
run_refuses_malformed_commands_naming_the_step expects `step 2 (line 3)`;
it fails without the change.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): the two older G2 bullets counting 46 and 49
filters were superseded by Conté Crayon (57/57) and are folded into one
current bullet; the G2 row in the ranked table and the entry's estimate now
both say 4–6 h, as ROADMAP.md and roadmap.md do. ROADMAP.md's revision
history gains its 2026-10-22 row.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): the blank-name check ran on the raw name, so
a name made only of characters XML can't hold (control characters) wrote an
empty <title>. The name is sanitised first, then the fallback applies. The
title test covers such a name; it fails without the change.
The SVG writer always wrote the document's title in <title>
(crates/svg/src/export.rs), so every file of Export As with Use
Artboards, Export for Screens or an `artboard`/`range` export was titled
after the document ("Icons"), whatever its artboard was called. The
writer's `artboard` option can't tell those apart from Save: Save writes
the first artboard too, standing for the whole document.
ExportOptions has a new `artboard_title` (set by the caller, as
`artboard` is, not deserialized): the file is that one artboard, exported
on its own, and its <title> is the artboard's name (XML-escaped as
before), or the document's title when the artboard has no name. The
engine's SVG encoder (fileio/svg.rs) sets it exactly when the export
names its artboards, which is also when a file holds only that
artboard's art (#550): Export As per artboard, document.export /
serialize with `artboard` or `range`, MCP export, and Export for Screens'
artboards, assets, layers and selections (each written as an artboard
named after it). Save and Save As keep the document's title. Export for
Screens' Full Document draws the art bounds as one artboard, which is now
named after the document, so its SVG keeps the document's title too.
docs/file-format-parity.md's SVG row says so.
Tests: title_control_chars::an_artboard_exported_alone_is_titled_after_it
(crates/svg: two named artboards, the second named with markup;
exporting either alone gives its escaped name, the default and an
artboard without artboard_title give the document's title, an unnamed
artboard falls back to it) and
tests_svgenc::an_svg_of_one_artboard_is_titled_after_it (the engine:
`artboard` 0 and 1, useArtboards range all, Save's SVG, Export for
Screens per artboard, an asset and Full Document). Both fail without the
change (the title was "Icons") and pass with it.
Review follow-up (CodeRabbit): step_value clamped once after all of a
frame's steps, so at the lower bound a step down then a step up in the
same frame left the field at the bound. Each step is now clamped as it is
applied. The Stroke panel test steps down and up in one frame at each
bound and expects one step above it; it fails without the change.
Wheel notches and the arrow keys over a focused number field step the
value its text shows (widgets::step_value), and nothing there knew the
field's bounds: the Stroke panel's Weight went on to -3 pt and its Limit
to 0 x in the field, while the panel only clamped what it applied (the
spinner's min, Limit's clamp to 1..500), so the next step went on from
the out-of-range text. A label scrub (scrub::field) had the same gap.
step_value and scrub::field now take the field's bounds and stop at
them, so the field shows where they stopped and the value applied is
the same. The fields that have bounds pass them:
- spin_field / spin_field_auto / spin_plain: their `min` (the spinner
and a typed value already stopped there);
- range_field: its range; it now also takes a value that may be blank
(None), as mixed_field does;
- opt_field (dash and gap lengths): 0;
- the Revolve dialog's values: their range.
Fields that clamped only what they applied now say their range with
range_field instead: the Stroke panel's Limit (1..500), the Transparency
and Properties opacity (0..100), the Transform panel's polygon sides,
and the dialogs' bounded counts, percentages and lengths (Blend Options,
Envelope, Flattener, Liquify, Freehand, Live Paint, Path ops, Perspective
Grid, PNG ppi, Print, Save for Web, Shape Builder, Slices, Swatch
Options, Symbol options, Justification, Dimension, PDF page, the effect
dialogs' number rows). docs/ui-parity.md's number-field row says so.
Test: panels::stroke::tests::the_wheel_stops_weight_at_zero_and_limit_at_one
(the Stroke panel in a headless frame; focus Weight at 1 pt and turn the
wheel down four notches: the field shows 0 pt and the stroke is 0 pt;
the same with Limit at 2 x: 1 x and a limit of 1). It fails without the
change (the field showed -3 pt) and passes with it; the other numeric
field, scrub and dialog tests still pass.
The MCP drawing tools ran the creating command (path.create, shape.*)
and only then paint.setFill, paint.setStroke, stroke.set,
object.setProps and effect.apply, each as a command of its own.
check_draw_options checked dash, cap, join, opacity, name and effects up
front, but not the paints: a fill or stroke the engine can't read
(stroke: "currentColor"), or a swatch the document lacks, failed after
the object was made, so the call returned an error and left the path,
its undo step and its SVG node behind. Each styling command was also an
undo step of its own.
The tools now send the creating command and the styling commands as one
command.batch (crates/mcp/src/tools.rs, draw): the engine rolls the
whole batch back when a step fails, so a refused paint leaves no object,
no undo step and nothing in the SVG, and a good call is one undo step
named as the creating command names its own (Pen, Rectangle, …). The
styling steps act on the new object, which the creating command selects,
with item: null (its whole appearance), as the ids did before. The
reply gives the failed step's own error, without the batch's prefix.
docs/mcp.md says so.
Test: tests_drawopts::a_bad_paint_draws_nothing (invalid fill, stroke,
a missing swatch and a non-numeric strokeWidth on draw_path and
draw_shape: error, node count, undo history and SVG export unchanged;
a good call adds one undo step named Pen / Rectangle). It fails without
the change (draw_path with stroke "currentColor" drew a path) and passes
with it; the other draw option and command_batch tests still pass.
The Layers list scrolls in its own scroll area, which kept egui's floating
scroll bar when #3093 gave the panel bodies a bar in a column of their own.
Hovering the list showed the bar over the right edge of the rows, over the
target circles and the selection squares the user clicks to select a layer.
The list now uses the menus' slim solid bar (list_scroll_style) in its own
column, and the rows end beside it. The list knows its total height before
it lays the rows out, so the bar is shown exactly when the rows overflow
(decided up front): the rows never shift sideways a frame after the bar
appears.
Test: dock::tests::the_layers_scroll_bar_covers_no_row (40 layers in a
1440x600 window: no row's accessibility rect intersects the bar). It fails
without the change and passes with it. The Layers tests that pin row
positions across frames still pass. Checked live: the bar sits beside the
rows.
With the pointer resting over art while the view moves (trackpad or wheel
scrolling, pinch zoom, a Hand/space pan), the document point under the
pointer changes every frame, and the canvas hit-tested the art there on
each one, up to three times: Object Highlighting (canvas.rs
hover_highlight -> selection_hit_at) and the Selection tool's cursor
(select.rs cursor: hit_test, and with Snap to Point the nearest-anchor
search). Over a detailed engraving in a clip group (the reporter's
PhotoCraft icon: one path of tens of thousands of segments) each of those
costs roughly 3-6 ms, so every frame of the move took 12-15 ms of UI time;
off the art they return at once.
- canvas.rs: the canvas notes when its view (rect, zoom, centre,
rotation) last changed. Until it has been still for HOVER_STILL_SECS
(0.15 s) it draws no hover highlight and keeps the cursor the tool last
gave for the same tool and modifier keys instead of asking again; it
asks for a repaint then, so both come back without the pointer moving.
Pointer moves still reach the tool as before.
- test: a_moving_view_leaves_the_art_under_the_pointer_unhighlighted_until_it_stops
(wheel frames draw no hover outline and keep the cursor; once still,
the outline returns and the cursor follows the art). It fails on main
at the first wheel frame.
Measured on an Apple M4 (release build, 1440x900 window, the PhotoCraft
app icon SVG fitted at 138%, Selection tool, Smart Guides and Snap to
Point on), median UI frame time over 60 wheel-pan frames with the pointer
resting:
before: over the art 12.3-15.0 ms, off the art 1.0 ms
after: over the art 0.4-1.0 ms, off the art 0.6 ms
The render readout is the art's own raster time on the render worker,
which this change doesn't touch.
The panels' scroll areas used egui's default floating scroll bar, which
is drawn over the right edge of the content: in a window too short for
the Properties panel it covered the Image Trace button's dropdown arrow
and the W/H constrain link, and in a dock column too tall for the window
it covered the panels' menu buttons and right-hand controls. Menus
(#2086, list_scroll_style) and the toolbar and dock icon column (#808,
strip_scroll) had already been given bars that keep clear of their
items; the panel bodies hadn't.
- widgets: panel_scroll shows a panel's scroll area with the menus' slim
solid bar (list_scroll_style), in a column of its own at the right
edge; scroll areas inside the body keep their own style.
- dock.rs: the docked Properties panel and Properties in a flyout,
floating group or shared dock group use it.
- floating.rs: a dock column too tall for the window uses it.
- panel_docking.rs: a panel's body in the shared dock uses it, laid out
as wide as the scroll area leaves beside the bar; the shared dock's
icon column scrolls with strip_scroll, as the dock's icon column does.
- test: the_properties_scroll_bar_covers_no_control (a 1440x600 frame of
the dock with an image selected: no control's rect meets the
Properties scroll bar). It fails on main with "Tracing Presets" (the
Image Trace arrow) and "Constrain Width and Height Proportions" under
the bar.
Verified live at 1440x600 with an image selected: before, the hovered
bar sat over the Image Trace arrow and the right ends of the Quick
Action buttons, and a dock column's bar over the Swatches panel menu;
after, both bars sit in their own 8 pt column and nothing is covered.
With the Artboard tool the arrow keys did nothing to the artboards: the
tool claimed only Escape, Delete and Backspace (tools/src/xform/artboard.rs
claims_key), so the arrows fell through to object.nudge in
ui-egui/src/shortcuts.rs, which moved the selected art on its own (or
nothing, with no art selected) and left the artboard where it was.
- artboard.rs: the tool claims the arrow keys and turns each press into
one artboard.move of the selected artboards that aren't locked, by the
keyboard increment (Preferences > General > Keyboard Increment, read
from the tool context as Touch Type does), Shift ten times as far as
object.nudge does, with moveArt from the tool's Move/Copy Artwork with
Artboard option, as a drag sends it. One undo step per press; nothing
during a drag or with only locked artboards selected.
- tests: arrow_keys_nudge_the_selected_artboards (tools: claims, step,
Shift, moveArt, several boards, locked, mid-drag) and
artboard_tool_arrow_keys_move_the_selected_artboards_with_their_art
(engine: the artboards and the art on them move, one step per press).
Verified live over --control: a 400x300 artboard with a selected 40 pt
square, Artboard tool, ArrowRight: before, the artboard stayed at x 0 and
the square moved to x 51 ("Move"); after, the artboard goes to x 1 and the
square with it ("Move Artboard"); Shift+Down moves both 10 pt; with
Move Artwork off only the artboard moves; increment 5 moves 5 pt.
The drag case in the report: a drag already moves the art, but only the
art that lies wholly inside the artboard and is unlocked and visible
(doc/src/lib.rs art_on_artboard; locked and hidden art only with
Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard). Art overlapping the
artboard's edge stays behind by design, which may be what the reporter
saw when dragging.
- ui-egui: the font-install poll (#2576) only runs on native builds, but its
timestamp field, its initializer and FONT_INSTALL_POLL were compiled for
wasm too, where nothing read them. They're gated like the code that reads
them.
- engine: `Session::store_profile` is only called by the native Load
Profile (cmd/colormgmt.rs); gated the same way.
- app (macOS): `App::logic_frame` checked `!file_dialog_open()` twice, one
`if` nested in an identical one, with the comment repeated. One check.
`cargo xtask wasm` runs `cargo check` without `-D warnings`, so these
warnings didn't fail CI; after this change it prints none.
With image mips on (the canvas always sets them), drawing an image
fetched its full decoded pixels first, decoding them again when the
shared image store no longer held them, and only then looked up the mip
it draws. The full pixels are only peeked, so they are the least
recently used entries and the first the store drops over its budget
(1 GiB on macOS and Windows). Once a document's full-size images exceed
it (20 photos of 6000 x 4000 px are 1.9 GB as RGBA), every frame decoded
every image again, though only their small mips were drawn: moving one
image redrew seconds later.
The store now remembers the size each blob's pixels decode to, so the
mip level is found without the pixels, and a mip the store holds is
drawn (and marked used) without fetching or decoding them. Without the
mip, at full size, or with mips off (exports) drawing is unchanged.
Measured on an Apple M4 (load average 15-24 from other work), 20 noise
PNGs of 6000 x 4000 px fitted in a 2880 x 1800 view, one moved 5 pt per
frame: before, 20 decodes and 1.1-3.0 s every frame; after, the first
frame decodes 20 and the later ones none, in 3-5 ms.
The readout was a moving average of 1/dt over any two consecutive frames.
An idle window wakes now and then (a timer, a control request, a repaint
after input) and each wake-up draws two frames about 4 ms apart, the second
one not waiting for vsync because the swapchain has a free image. Every
wake-up pushed the average up by 0.1 x 240 and the idle gap pulled it down
by only 0.1 x 2, so at rest it climbed past the display's refresh rate
(105 fps on a 30 Hz monitor that was drawing 4 frames a second). As soon as
the pointer moved and frames became vsync-paced, it fell back to the real
rate, which looked like a slowdown.
- frame_rate: frames counted over the last second of continuous drawing.
A gap more than 100 ms longer than the previous frame's own work means
the window was idle and starts a new count. The readout changes only
after half a second of drawing, so a wake-up's frames keep the last
rate. Slow frames still read slow, because their gap is their own work.
- chrome: "– fps" until the window has drawn continuously, instead of 0.
Measured on an Apple M4 driving a 30 Hz 4K display: drawing continuously
reads 30; at rest with a wake-up every 0.5 s it stays 30 (before: 45 -> 105).
In a clip group or a clipping layer the bottom child is the clipping path.
Object › Arrange moved the selected children with no regard for that slot:
Send to Back (and Send Backward from just above it) put the art under the
clipping path, so the art became the clipping path, lost its role as art,
and the group drew nothing. Bring Forward / to Front on the clipping path
itself would likewise have made art the clip. Layers-panel moves already
keep the clipping path at the bottom (layer.rs, `index.max(1)`); arrange
didn't.
- object.rs `arrange`: in a parent that clips, the clipping path is left
where it is and the art is arranged within the slots above it (Back goes
to just above the clipping path, Backward stops there).
- tests: Back, Backward, several objects, and Forward/Front on the
clipping path in a clip group (with a render check); Send to Back in a
clipping layer.
