Session::end_undo_group with cancel cancels the open undo group of
every document. edit.undoGroup.end with cancel calls it, and so do a
field scrub ended with Escape and a library style that fails to apply.
The journal was then cut back to where the group of the last document
in the document list began, not to where the first of the canceled
groups began. When the group that began first belonged to an earlier
document, the journal kept the commands of that group's edits, which
the cancel had undone. After a scrub ended with Escape, which journals
no end command, replaying the journal drew those edits again.
Session::end_undo_group now cuts the journal back to the earliest start
of the groups it cancels.
An EPS or PostScript file that stops on a PostScript error named the
error, such as typecheck or rangecheck, with the operator and the
procedure, but did not say what the name means in any language.
The warning or error now gives the name as PostScript spells it,
followed by VectorCraft's own wording of what it means in the reader:
"a PostScript error (typecheck in `add`; a value has the wrong type for
the operator)". vectorcraft_eps::POSTSCRIPT_ERRORS lists the 14 names
the reader raises other than undefined, with their meanings, and a
test checks that each of those names has one. Each meaning and the
new message shapes have a row in every catalog. i18n::message now
translates placeholder values five levels deep instead of three, which
the status bar's line for an EPS file that can't be opened needs.

The reference app's graphs help describes adding totals to a column
design: type in the design holds a percent sign followed by two digits.
VectorCraft drew that type as typed, stretched with the design.
Type in a column design that holds a % followed by two digits now shows
the value of each column or stacked segment in place of the % and the
two digits. The first digit is the least number of places before the
decimal point, with zeros added in front (0 for as many as the value
needs), and the second is the number of places after it. Values are
rounded half away from zero. The type keeps its own size and moves to
where the design's copy puts the point it is set from. A repeating
design shows it once per column, where a whole copy ending at the value
end puts it, and Chop Design does not cut it. A sliding design moves it
with the part of the design on its side of the guide. Type inside a
group that clips or has its own opacity, blend mode, appearance or
opacity mask, or inside a blend, compound shape, envelope, repeat or
intertwine, stays in the design and shows the value in each copy. Type
inside a symbol stays as typed. The legend swatch leaves the totals
out.

The Tabs panel named its alignment buttons Left-, Center-, Right- and
Decimal-Justified Tab and labeled the position field X for every text.
The reference app's alignments for vertical text include Top-Justified
Tab and Bottom-Justified Tab, and its position field is Y for vertical
text.
In vertical type the Left-Justified button is now named Top-Justified
Tab and the Right-Justified button is named Bottom-Justified Tab, in
their tool tips and for screen readers, and the position field is
labeled Y. The reference page does not say which buttons these are;
VectorCraft's own mapping follows the line direction: a line of
vertical type runs from top to bottom, so a Left stop aligns the text
to the top and a Right stop aligns it to the bottom. Screen readers now
call every alignment button by its name; before, they read its glyph.
In horizontal type the tool tips and the X label do not change.

object.objectsOnPath.attach took a path inside a compound path, blend,
envelope, repeat or Intertwine group, or a clipping path, as the path
and put it into the new Objects on Path group, so it was no longer a
part of its container. As objects, a blend's key path, a repeat's
source art, an envelope's content and a clipping path were put into
the new group the same way.
The Objects on Path tool highlighted a blend's key path or a clipping
path and attached the selection to it.
objects_on_path::held now finds the container that holds an object.
The command refuses such a path or object with a reason, and the tool
does not highlight it or attach to it. A member of a compound path
given as an object still attaches as its whole compound path. The four
new messages have rows in every complete-message catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Objects on Path).
Since #2664, swatch.new separates an RGB color into CMYK through the
color settings in a CMYK document unless keepModel is given. The Color
Guide, Color Themes and Recolor Artwork send keepModel when they save
colors they show, but the Color panel menu's Create New Swatch, the
Swatches panel and the Gradient panel did not. An RGB object's color
saved from them became a CMYK swatch, and a gradient's RGB stops
became CMYK stops.
These now send keepModel: Create New Swatch, an Alt-click on New
Swatch, the New Swatch dialog for a gradient, a Fill or Stroke proxy
or the Gradient panel's thumbnail dropped on the Swatches panel or
Alt-dropped on a swatch of its kind, and the Gradient panel's Add to
Swatches and Save to Swatches. A new swatch_paint_params returns
paint_params with keepModel: true added for an unlinked color or a
gradient. swatch.new without keepModel still converts RGB input.

Object › Live Paint › Merge built the merged group anew and copied
only the bottom Live Paint group's name, opacity and blend mode, so
its lock, visibility, appearance, opacity mask, graphic style link and
other properties were lost. Make with a Live Paint group selected, and
a Live Paint Bucket click on a selected path beside a selected Live
Paint group, made a new group with a new id instead, and every face
took the fill of its paths again.
Merge now starts from the bottom Live Paint group, as Gap Options
does, and replaces only its faces, edges and paths and its Gap
Options. Make, and livePaint.fill with ids when the point is outside
that group's faces, add the other objects to the bottom Live Paint
group among them as Merge does.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
An edge hidden on its own (for example with Object > Hide) while its
Live Paint group stays visible could still be highlighted, selected or
stroked, and a hidden edge nearer the pointer kept a visible one from
being picked.
lp_part_at now takes the nearest visible edge (visible_edge_near), inside
and outside the faces, for the hover, the Live Paint Selection click and
the Bucket's Shift-click. The Bucket's Shift-click sends nothing where no
edge is highlighted, and livePaint.strokeEdge also skips hidden edges, so
the Bucket strokes the edge it highlights.
With Select Fills off, or with Alt held, the Live Paint Selection tool
highlighted an edge near the pointer even when the pointer was outside
every face, but a click there looked only for a face under the pointer
and cleared the selection. Outside the faces, the highlight came from
the front-most Live Paint group with an edge in reach, not from the
nearest edge, and it included hidden groups. The Live Paint Bucket's
Shift highlight and Shift-click used the same search.
The hover, the Live Paint Selection click and the Bucket's Shift-click
now call one function. Outside every face it picks the edge nearest
the pointer, within 4 screen pixels, among the visible Live Paint
groups. A click selects or strokes the edge that the highlight shows.
This change follows up #3052.
Distribute Objects and Distribute Spacing space the selected ruler
guides across the axis (vertical ones for the horizontal options,
horizontal ones for the vertical options) together with the selected
objects, as items with no size. Guides along the axis stay where they
are. Two or more guides selected without objects are enough, and the
Align panel's Distribute buttons are enabled for them. With Align to
Artboard, the outermost items go to the artboard's edges.
A key guide (select.key {guide}) is one of those items. With a spacing,
it stays put and the other items are spaced from it, as from a key
object with no size; a key guide along the axis leaves everything where
it is. The Align panel sends the Distribute Spacing value with both
rows of Distribute buttons while a guide is the key, and enables the
value for it.
The selection tools' clipping-path outline hit was also used where the
Selection and Direct Selection tools act on what is drawn rather than
select. Near a layer's clipping mask edge, with art drawn over it:
loaded text threaded into the unpainted mask instead of the art, a
double-click on type entered isolation on the mask instead of editing
the type (Selection) or did nothing (Direct Selection), and Cmd/Ctrl+
Shift double-click could not release a guide path there. These now
take the ordinary hit (ToolContext::hit_options); a press or hover
that selects keeps the outline hit.
Tests (each fails with the selection hit options):
select::tests::loaded_text_threads_into_the_art_on_a_layer_masks_edge,
a_double_click_on_type_at_a_layer_masks_edge_edits_it (Selection and
Direct Selection) and a_guide_on_a_layer_masks_edge_is_released, over
the new testutil helpers add_masked_layer and
doc_with_type_on_a_layer_masks_edge. Recorded in
docs/target-app-parity.md.

A second finger, a long touch or a cancelled contact replaced Drag::Art
with Drag::Gesture without ending the live Move interaction, which then
outlived the pointer: later edits began on top of an open interaction.
drop_press now cancels the move for Drag::Art too and clears the panel
payload, as it already did for Drag::Tool.
Test: a_second_finger_drops_a_move_waiting_over_a_panel.
When text.tabs.set refused a new X (past 100,000 pt), the panel kept
the stops it had changed and sorted, so later in the same frame the
ruler painted the refused position and highlighted another stop.
apply_moved now moves and sorts a copy of the stops and keeps it only
when the stops are set.
After "nothing in data set A was applied: no object is bound to a
variable it has a value for" showed in the status bar, choosing a data
set that did apply, or stepping to one, left that message in place.
`run_now` set the status from a command's `warning` and cleared it only
for `file.new`, and the Variables panel test cleared the status by hand
before its last check.
`dataset.select`, `dataset.next` and `dataset.prev` now clear the status
bar when they succeed, and the warning shows when no object is bound to
a variable the new data set has a value for. The test no longer clears
the status by hand and checks all three commands.
Pattern Brush Options' Scale and Art Brush Options' Width were number
fields only. The reference app's Brushes page documents a Scale slider
for pattern brushes and a Width slider for art brushes.
Each row now has a slider beside its field, as the Bristle Brush
Options sliders do. The slider covers the value's whole range, 1% to
10000% for Scale and 1% to 1000% for Width, in whole percents. Screen
readers name the slider as its row and read the field's number and
text.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
docs/control-protocol.md and the tool.options params text say that 0
turns the Pencil and Paintbrush options Edit selected paths within and
Close paths when ends are within off. A stroke that
started exactly on an end of a selected open path still continued that
path at 0, and a stroke that ended exactly where it started was still
closed at 0, because both checks compared the distance with <= 0.
At 0, a stroke that starts on an end of a selected open path now draws
a new path, as one that starts on the path away from its ends already
did, and a stroke that ends where it started stays open.
