A plug-in's dialog (Effect › Plug-ins, Object › Plug-ins) lays out each
parameter of its manifest as a row, and a manifest may declare up to 64.
With many of them the dialog ran off the top and the bottom of the
window, its heading and its OK and Cancel buttons off screen. A plug-in
of 64 number parameters got a dialog 2,329 px tall, its top at y = -755
in a 900 px window.
modal::scrolled_rows() puts rows in a vertical scroll area as tall as
the screen less the rest of the modal window and its edge gaps.
modal::show_at() measures that rest once it has drawn the window, for
the next frame, and asks for that frame at once if the rest changed.
The dialog then fits without waiting for input. schema_fields() puts the
parameter grid in it, for filters and effects alike. A dialog of a few
parameters is as tall as before.
a_plug_in_dialog_of_many_settings_fits_the_window opens an effect's and
a filter's dialog of 64 parameters in a 1280 × 900 window, and one of 4.
Before the change it failed with "effect: the dialog is at
[[457.0 -755.0] - [823.0 1574.0]] in the [1280.0 900.0] window".

menu_strings() lists the strings a complete language catalog has to
cover, and it leaves out names that are user data: fonts, recent files,
saved views and libraries. An installed plug-in's name stayed in.
Plug-ins are installed for the whole process, and a test that installs
one before complete_languages_translate_every_menu_string runs made that
test fail with the plug-in's name as an untranslated menu string.
lists_plugin() tells an Object › Plug-ins filter or an Effect ›
Plug-ins effect by its command and params. Those are part of the menu
item itself and stay right while another test installs or removes
plug-ins. menu_strings() uses it, and so does
menu_catalogs_translate_every_menu_label in place of its own copy of the
rule.
plugins_are_listed_in_the_object_and_effect_menus checks it. Before the
change it failed with "Desaturate… is a menu string to translate".

The image a mesh's quads are filled into is clipped to the frame; at 16 MP a
mesh filling a large canvas allocated up to 64 MB per frame. A larger mesh is
drawn quad by quad, backed by its patches' outlines.

Drawing each mesh as one image through its antialiased outline (dadfa06b)
left a thin line of the background wherever two meshes met: the two
partly covered edge pixels don't add up to full coverage. A page made of
thousands of small meshes (a PDF from a gradient-mesh illustration) showed
a grid of lines on screen and in raster exports.
- The outline is flattened and moved out by half a device pixel
(grown_outline), as the quads drawn one by one are, and filled once: no
doubled edge, so translucent meshes are grown too.
- The edge colours spread two pixels out of the quads (the grown edge
samples up to about a pixel and a half out), and the buffer has two
pixels of margin.
Tests: an_outline_grows_by_half_a_pixel_both_ways_round; the edge-spread
test checks the second pass.
