craft-docpath follows a stored path only on this computer or on the
share the document is on, but its check is lexical and cannot see
mapped drives. fileio::document_path therefore followed a link stored
as Y:\img\logo.png, where Y: is mapped to \\server\other, from any
document: opening the document, links.check, Link Info and the
linked-file watch read or stamped the file on that server.
On Windows, document_path now reads the final path of the root folder
of a link's drive (std::fs::canonicalize). Windows opens that root
folder on the drive's server to answer, so the check still contacts
the server once per lookup; no file on it is read, stamped or watched.
When the final path names a share, the link is checked against the
document's path on its share, and a link on another share is refused
as on another computer, as a link stored with that share's own path
is. Links on this computer's drives and on the document's share are
followed as before, and a link on the document's own drive is not
looked up. A document opened as \\?\Z:\... is looked up on its share
as Z:\... is. Other systems are unchanged.

Preview in Browser wrote each preview into `VectorCraft Save for Web`,
and before each preview it removed every file and folder there that
was an hour old or older. Where the temporary folder is the shared
/tmp, another user could make that folder first, writable by everyone,
and the app wrote its previews inside it, in folders that user could
read and replace. Where the system follows other users' links in /tmp,
the folder could also be a link, and the app removed the old entries
of the folder it named.
A preview now uses that folder only when it is a folder and not a
link, and on Linux, macOS and FreeBSD only when the current user owns
it and no other user can write to it. On those systems the folder and
each preview's folder are made with mode 0700. The cleanup removes
only preview folders, on those systems only those the current user
owns. When the shared folder can't be used, the preview goes to a new
folder in the temporary folder. A later preview removes such folders
once they are an hour old.

A live-effect plug-in was given only its object's geometry. An effect
that draws as wide as the stroke it sits on, or tells its fills apart,
had to ask for them again as parameters, which then went stale when
the paint changed.
A live effect's input object now holds the object's fills and strokes
too, read only and in the form a filter gets them (one encoder,
objects::paint_lists, for both), and _context.item says where the
effect sits: "object", or {"fill": i} / {"stroke": i} for an effect in
a fill's or a stroke's own effects. effects::GeomContext carries the
object's appearance and the item, and the plug-in cache keys on the
paints, so a change of paint runs the plug-in again. Hosts from before
this give geometry only; nothing in the output changes.
Expand worked a fill's geometry effects out in the object's context, so
a plug-in effect there would be told "object" and a gradient fill was
expanded into a shape the canvas doesn't draw: fill_shape now gives them
the fill's context, as drawing does (expand.rs).
Siblings named with a declared prefix, the other half of such context,
are left out: the effected geometry is worked out from the object alone
wherever it is drawn, measured, hit-tested or expanded.
wat::when_given is a plug-in whose output depends on whether its input
or parameters hold a text. tests_plugins.rs uses it to check that an
effect sees the stroke's width and the fill, runs again for a thinner
stroke, and on a second stroke is told so; effect.rs checks the item
counting; a gradient fill under such an effect is drawn and expanded
into the same triangle. CRAFT_PLUGIN_PAINTS_WASM=<folder> saves a test
effect to try in the app.

A plug-in's dialog labelled each field with its parameter's name spaced
out ("Line_spacing_mm:"), showed numbers without their unit and listed
at most 64 parameters in one column. A plug-in with many settings, such
as a generator's or an exporter's, could neither explain nor sort them,
and its dialog showed settings that don't apply to the choices made.
Each parameter may now say how dialogs show it, in keys that hosts
from before them ignore (plugins::dialog):
- label; unit, after the value ("0.25 mm"); help, on the label; and
helpUrl, an https:// page opened from a button after the field.
- group: the parameters outside any group come first, then each group
as a section that folds, in the order the groups first appear, the
fields lined up down the dialog.
- visibleWhen: {"pattern": ["lines"]} shows a parameter only
while each checkbox or choice it names, declared before it, has one
of the values listed and is shown itself. Manifest::visible decides
every parameter in one pass, in declaration order. A hidden parameter
still goes to the plug-in with its value, so a run never depends on
what the dialog showed.
Two types join number, int, bool and choice: string, a text field cut
to maxLength, and numberList, numbers typed separated by commas or
spaces, each clamped, minItems to maxItems of them. A plug-in declares
up to 256 parameters, at most 64 outside groups. The filter, live-effect
and exporter dialogs use every key. The Appearance panel's editor of a
plug-in effect uses the labels, units, help and conditions, and reads a
typed number list as the dialog does.
dialog.rs tests parsing, the round trip of a manifest written out,
sections, visibility (also of 256 overlapping conditions, which a
recursive check would take forever on) and the keys refused;
manifest.rs the new types and limits. tests_plugin_fields.rs draws a
dialog with kittest: labels and units, sections in order with their
fields lined up, visibleWhen hiding and showing rows, and the help
button opening its page.
appearance.rs checks the editor's labels, units, conditions and a
typed number list, and form.rs units after numbers (a unit starting
with a digit is spaced from it) and typed lists.

A plug-in could filter objects or reshape them as a live effect, but
nothing it made could leave the app: pen plotters, cutting machines and
laser cutters read formats VectorCraft doesn't write. An exporter is a
third kind of plug-in ("kind": "exporter", with the file "extensions"
it writes), in the same sandbox and with the same ABI v1 exports.
- It adds a write-only format, plugin.<id>. document.formats lists it
with its plug-in id, and document.export writes it by that id, or by
a path ending in one of its extensions that no built-in format has;
"params" carries its parameters, checked against its manifest as a
filter's are.
- File › Export › Export As lists it after the built-in formats, with
Use Artboards greyed out, since the plug-in writes the whole
document. One with parameters asks for them in a dialog generated
from its schema (pluginExport) once the file is picked.
- The plug-in is given the native file's JSON (format::json_part:
images of 8 KiB or more without their data) and _context {mode:
"export", extension, name}. It returns {"dataBase64", "warnings"?}
or {"error"}. The host writes the file, and nothing when the plug-in
declines or returns bad data.
- An export gets 10 G instructions plus 4,000 per byte and 300 s.
Background Export's Cancel stops it between two slices of that
budget (Error::Cancelled), and a cancelled live-effect run is not
cached as a failure.
- plugin.run and Object › Plug-ins say where an exporter is instead of
calling it a live effect.
engine/tests/plugin_export.rs reads back what an exporter is handed
with wat::echo_exporter, an exporter whose file is its input or its
parameters (its base64 encoder is written in WAT). The document it is
given is document.save's JSON, without the large image's data, and its
parameters arrive defaulted, clamped and with the file's name and
extension. It also covers listing and removal, built-in extensions
winning, selectedOnly, declines, bad base64, missing data, warnings,
and Cancel stopping a plug-in that never returns. It is a test binary
of its own: installed plug-ins are process-wide, and the format-list
unit tests check exact lists. dialogs/tests_plugin_export.rs drives
Export As headlessly; plugins/tests/abi.rs covers the budget, the
parameters and the echo exporter; format/tests/native_v4.rs covers
json_part.

Squashed from #2533 onto #2525 (Smudge Stick, Sponge, Watercolor): both sets in PIXEL_EFFECTS (45), the catalogs and the docs, whose counts now read 45/57.
The list fills the panel down to its bottom bar and scrolls, also while a drag nears its top or
bottom edge (in the dock and in a flyout, as the Layers panel does).
Dragging in the list:
- an item (colour, text style or graphic) dropped on another of its kind lands just before or
after it, by the pointer's half, an accent line showing where, and joins that item's group;
- dropped elsewhere on a group (its header too, even collapsed) it goes into that group, and on
the ungrouped items out of its group, the section outlined; with every item grouped, a
"Drop here to take it out of its group" strip shows while one is dragged;
- a group dragged by its header goes before or after another group.
Colours and graphics still drag onto art and the canvas as before.
Engine: library.moveItem takes `before` / `after` (an item of the same kind) to place the item
in its kind's order, which the panel shows; the new library.moveGroup {group, to} moves a group.
Text styles drag as PanelDrag::LibraryItem, groups as PanelDrag::LibraryGroup, and a library
colour's Paint drag names its library item, so the panel tells it from a swatch dragged in.
Tests: reordering and moving in the engine, the commands in the library fuzz test, and panel
tests that drop styles and group headers and check the list scrolls and scrolls while dragging.
Strings translated in the 23 catalogs; docs/mcp.md and the parity row updated.
Text drawn in rendering mode 3 (3 Tr), which is how a scanned page carries
its recognized OCR text, was left out on open (since #2988, with a warning),
so a scanned PDF opened and saved again lost its searchable text.
Import: an invisible glyph now comes in as type with neither fill nor
stroke. It skips the glyph-outline checks that guard how visible type looks,
and it joins only other invisible text on a line (Look::takes no longer
lets it into a stroke-only run). INVISIBLE_TEXT_NOTE now only reports text
that can't be type (text opened as outlines, Type 3 fonts), and
tests_reader_compat::invisible_text_is_reported_when_left_out expects the
invisible line as unpainted type when text opens as type.
Export and print: characters with no fill and no stroke are written as real
text inside a form marked Mark::Invisible; forms::finish sets that form's
text rendering mode to 3, so it draws nothing but stays selectable and
searchable (PDF/X-1a and PDF/A-2b too). The writer has no invisible mode of
its own, so this reuses the marked-form mechanism used for layers and
overprint.

ROADMAP: a progress row and status line for the community PRs of 2026-10-19; the reproducible-bytes and inch-ruler rows appeared twice. gaps.md: G6 held four interleaved versions of its Missing line; it now says what is left (a scripting surface). target-app-parity.md: three copies of the Type evidence bullet, merged into one with every sentence. type-parity.md and ui-parity.md: a row and a shorter copy of it.
Add a centered draggable header, stacked actions and aligned input groups.
Compact the color controls and use vertical scrolling in narrow windows.
Keep the screen sampler above the field and Tab through each color model
before the next. Confirmation, cancellation and live preview stay shared.
Preserve screen-reader button names and channel values, units and ranges.
Add pointer/key, layout, warning and AccessKit regressions, and update the
required progress notes without changing parity scores or estimates. Correct
the stale #1692 gap status while retaining the open Direct Selection gap.
Document dialog rendering, button sizing and the regression helpers.
Validation: cargo xtask ci passed all 10 steps with official Rust 1.99,
including strict Clippy, 8437 workspace tests and all WASM checks. All 17
targeted color picker tests passed. German, enlarged English, narrow-window
and color-warning UI renders were reviewed locally.
Fixes#2008
Honor the requested text mode in the single-page importer, as Open does, instead of forcing outlines for Place and PDF clipboard import.
Add synthetic regressions for bytes, unlinked paths, selected pages and explicit outlines. Update format parity and milestone evidence without changing scores.
An effect raster too large to keep whole (a wide blur, a shadow or glow,
or any blur zoomed in) is cropped to what can show in the view, or made
at a lower resolution and resampled to the view's pixels, and kept while
the view stays the same. Dragging other art over the object then draws
its effects from the still frame instead of previewing them at the
drag's lower resolution on every frame. An interaction's frames stay on
the render worker once it drew the frame shown, since only its renderer
holds those rasters.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The renderer kept the art it made for an object's effects while the
object stayed the same. In the web build, type that a geometry effect
outlines, on its own, in a group or in a symbol's art, kept the
substitute font's outlines after its own font loaded. On the desktop,
Refresh Font List left them on a symbol instance whose art holds the
type. Objects with Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate or Rotate, and
objects and groups with a color adjustment, kept the colors they were
shaded or recolored with after the color settings changed. Live objects
already followed both.
The renderer now keeps that art with the inputs it keeps for the art
of live objects: the font generation when the art holds type, the art
of the symbols it shows, and the color settings. A temporary release
test timed the added key at 11 microseconds a frame for 400 type
objects with a drop shadow and 0.77 ms for 400 symbol instances of 100
paths each with a drop shadow, against warm frames of 5.3 and 72 ms.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/gaps.md.
With the Anchor Point tool, a drag from an anchor pulls out smooth handles.
Shift held at the press now moves the anchor instead, its handles keeping
their offsets; Shift kept down during the drag keeps the move at 45° steps
(the constrain angle), released it frees it. A Shift-click that doesn't
move leaves the anchor as it was. A selected blend's spine points follow
the same rule (object.blend.spine.moveAnchor).
The move goes through a new engine command, path.moveAnchor
{id, subpath?, anchor, x, y}, since path.moveAnchors only acts on the
direct-selected anchors and the Anchor Point tool keeps no anchor selection.

VectorCraft had no Objects on Path. A click with the Objects on Path
tool attaches the selected objects to the path clicked. The tool is in
Edit Toolbar's Modify section and the Blend tool's flyout, and Object ›
Objects on Path › Attach and the context menu with two or more objects
selected choose it. The objects and the path go into an Objects on
Path group with the path at its bottom.
- object.objectsOnPath.attach orders the objects column by column from
left to right and top to bottom in each column. The first one sits
on the path's first anchor, the last one sits on the end of an open
path, and the rest are spread evenly by length; a closed path takes
them all the way round. Each object's attachment point (Pivot, one
of nine, default the center of its bounds without strokes) sits on
the path, and the object is turned to the path there. An object that
was rotated by an angle other than a multiple of 90° is first turned
to the nearest multiple of 90°. Rotate tilts every object by that
many degrees counter-clockwise. Symbol instances are measured by
their art. Guides, compound paths, type, paths without length and
graphs are refused with a reason.
- After every edit the objects go back on the path: editing the path
moves them, an object moved on its own goes back, and objects moved
into or out of the group in the Layers panel join the end of the
path or leave it. Scaling, shearing or reflecting the whole group
keeps each object's scale, shear or reflection, and the objects are
spread evenly along the transformed path again. Undo takes the path
and the objects back in one step, and a copied group stays live on
its own path.
- object.objectsOnPath.options changes Pivot and Rotate, and
object.objectsOnPath.expand leaves a plain group. Both act on the
groups that `ids` names, or on the groups of the selection when
`ids` is not given.
- The native file keeps the group live; SVG, PDF and the other exports
write plain art. The tool highlights the path under the pointer, has
a cursor entry, and Escape during a press cancels the click.

Double-clicking the Live Paint Selection tool did nothing, and the tool
always selected faces and edges and highlighted them in red at 4 px.
It now opens Live Paint Selection Tool Options with Select Fills,
Select Strokes, Color and Width, the options the reference app's help
page on selecting objects lists.
- With Select Fills off, a click selects the edge nearest the pointer,
as Alt-click does. With Select Strokes off, Alt-click selects the
face under the pointer, as a click does. With both off, a click
selects no face or edge.
- Color (a layer color or a custom color) and Width (1 to 20 px) set
the highlight on the face or edge under the pointer.
- The defaults are the earlier behavior: both selections on, red
(#ff2a2a) and 4 px. The options are tool options (tool.setOption
{tool: "livePaintSelection"}): they last across tool switches and
are saved with the preferences.

With Locate Selected Objects on, an object selected on the canvas had the
layers and groups around it opened even when Show Layers Only, a search or
the filter left it without a row. The panel did not scroll to it, but the
rows stayed open, so they showed once the panel listed every row again.
The panel now opens the rows around the object only when the object has a
row once they are open. Otherwise it opens nothing and scrolls as with the
option off. The Layers panel entries in docs/mcp.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md describe this.
By default the Layers panel opens the layers around a row and scrolls
the row into view when its highlighted rows change, for example after
a click in the panel, a new layer or Locate Object. When no row is
highlighted and a selection makes another layer or sublayer the
active one, the panel does the same for that layer's row. Selecting
art on the canvas or by a command highlights no row, so by default
the panel does not open the layer or sublayer that holds the art or
the groups around it, and does not scroll to the art's row.
Panel Options gets Locate Selected Objects, off by default and kept
with the UI state. With it on, when the last selected object changes
on the canvas or by a command, the panel opens the layers and groups
around it and scrolls to its row, as after Locate Object, but does not
highlight the row. When the selection also changes the active layer,
the panel scrolls to the object's row instead of the layer's row.
When Show Layers Only, a search or the filter leaves the object
without a row, the panel scrolls as it does with the option off. A change made with the panel's own
rows, buttons or menu is not located, and a change made during a drag
is located when the drag ends. Locate Object is unchanged.
On a layer of 5,000 groups of 10 paths with every row open, the first
panel frame after a selection change took a median of 1.6 ms with the
option on and took a median of 1.4 ms with it off, in a release build.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (locateSelected), docs/target-app-parity.md.
A tab stop placed or dragged on the Tabs panel's ruler always landed
at a fractional position, and the ruler was numbered in inches with a
tick every 18 pt whatever the document's units. The reference app
snaps stops to the ruler units with Snap To Unit in the panel menu or
with Shift held during a drag, and numbers its tab ruler in the
document's units.
The ruler is now numbered in the General unit with the canvas rulers'
label step at the ruler's scale, and has a tick every tenth of a step.
The panel menu has Snap to Unit, checked while it is on. With it on,
or with Shift held, a stop placed by a click or dragged on the ruler
lands on the nearest tick, through Unit::snap_to_ruler_tick as a
Shift-dragged ruler guide does. A snapped click that lands on an
existing stop's tick selects that stop and records no undo step. The
stops still change through text.tabs.set. The reference app's page
names Shift for a drag only; Shift also snapping a click, and a
snapped click onto a stop's tick selecting that stop, are VectorCraft's
own rules.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Extrude & Bevel and Inflate built one solid from the path, painted with
the object's top fill or, without a fill, its top stroke. A filled and
stroked object lost its stroke, and a stroked open path was extruded as
the area it would enclose if it were closed.
Each visible stroke now builds a solid from its outline in its own
paint, beside the solid the top fill builds from the path, as Rotate
already turns each stroke's outline. When the fill and the strokes are
opaque with normal blending, the faces of all the solids are drawn in
one back-to-front order; otherwise each solid is drawn on its own, in
the order of the appearance. Under a light that is not white, a surface
drawn as one composite or with an opacity mask is also drawn on its
own. In that one order a flat cap turned toward the viewer is drawn
after every other face, untwisted solids included, so the stroke's
front cap covers the fill's walls inside it. The solids share one set
of bounds, and with Perspective one eye sees every inflated solid. A
stroke whose outline is past the 2,048-point limit is left out.
Inflate's cells cut by a hole now pass only the nearby contours to the
boolean. An inflated, outlined 72 pt "VectorCraft" takes about 8 ms
instead of 34 ms, and 66 ms with a 3 pt stroke.

Choosing a data set in the Variables panel, stepping through data sets
with the panel's arrows, and running `dataset.select`, `dataset.next`
and `dataset.prev` applied nothing and showed no message when no object
was bound to a variable that the data set has a value for. This
happens, for example, after Import Data Sets… defines new variables
without binding them.
The app now shows "nothing in data set A was applied: no object is
bound to a variable it has a value for" in the status bar, and the three
commands add it to the reply as `warning`. A data set with a value for
a bound variable gives no warning even when every object bound to it is
locked; `skipped` counts those objects. What applying a data set does
is unchanged.

Preview in Browser wrote every page to one folder,
VectorCraft Save for Web in the system's temporary folder. A second
preview of a document with the same title, from the same app or from
another one running, overwrote the first preview's page, and any image
file of the same name (PNG-8 and PNG-24 both write .png), before the
browser read them. The same overwrite made
dialogs::tests_save_for_web::preview_in_browser_opens_the_page fail now
and then, when another Save for Web test in the same binary, or a test
run in another checkout on the machine, previewed Untitled-1 at the
same time.
Each preview now goes to a new folder inside that one, named after the
process id and a count of the process's previews. A name that an
earlier process with the same id left there is skipped for the next
count. The page keeps its name and its images folder. A preview first
removes the entries of VectorCraft Save for Web that were last changed
an hour ago or earlier, which also clears the files the single folder
held before.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
The errors of the parameter checks that many commands share had no
@msg row in any catalog: "`{key}` must be a number, not {v}" from
check_numbers (object.move, object.rotate, object.setBounds and the
other callers), "missing integer `{key}`" from index_param in
cmd/appearance.rs (appearance, effect and freeform gradient commands),
the three object id errors of checked_ids_param and checked_id, and
the Unix seconds error of date_param. A template
matches only the whole text, so the row for "`{key}` must be a
number" did not match the longer check_numbers message. These errors
showed in English in the status bar, and "no such object id {value}"
matched the general "no such object {0}" row and showed half in
English. The scan in complete_languages_translate_every_message does
not read messages built with bad(), so that test did not report them.
Each of the 6 messages now has a row in the 18 catalogs that translate
every status and error message and in Bulgarian, Danish, Indonesian and
Dutch, and "missing number `{key}`" has a row in Danish and Indonesian.
No English string changes.

path.curvatureEdit, path.removeAnchor, path.convertAnchor,
path.reshapeSegment, path.split, path.setHandle and path.insertAnchor
read subpath as an unsigned integer and fell back to 0 for any other
value. A subpath of 1.5, -1 or "1" edited subpath 0 and the command
reported success. path.split read anchor and segment with as_u64 too
and treated any other value as absent, so a bad anchor beside a good
segment split at the segment.
These commands now refuse a subpath that is not a whole number of 0 or
more with "missing integer `subpath`", the error path.curvatureEdit,
path.removeAnchor, path.convertAnchor and path.reshapeSegment already
give for a bad anchor or segment, and path.split refuses such an anchor
or segment too. Without a subpath, or with null, they edit subpath 0 as
before. The document and the undo history stay as they were after each
error. The params text of the six commands that listed subpath as
required now marks it optional.

craft-docpath follows a network path only on the share the document is
on, and its caller contract asks for a document opened from a mapped
drive to be passed by its UNC path. fileio::document_path passed the
drive path as given, so a document opened as Z:\jobs\doc.vectorcraft
treated a link stored as \\server\share\img\logo.png, on the share
behind Z:, as on another computer: the image was missing, and
document.open, links.check and links.info gave refused: "the path is on
another computer".
On Windows, when a stored path is refused as on another computer and
the document is on a drive, document_path now reads the final path of
the document's folder (std::fs::canonicalize). When that names a share
(\\?\UNC\server\share\...), the path is checked again against the
document's path on that share. Links on other computers stay refused,
and paths that were followed resolve as before. Opening a document,
Link Info, links.check and the linked-file watch all use it. Other
systems are unchanged.

Transform Each, Rasterize, Create Object Mosaic, Create Trim Marks and
Rearrange All Artboards read their optional numbers with f64_or, which
falls back to a default for a value that is not a JSON number.
object.transformEach {"scaleH": "50"} left the selected objects at
their size and reported success. Rasterize did the same with ppi,
Create Object Mosaic did the same with width, height, spacingX and
spacingY, Create Trim Marks did the same with offset, length, bleed and
weight, and Rearrange All Artboards did the same with spacing. Crop
Image cropped to the artboard when rect was a string or another value
that is not an array.
These commands now fail with "`<key>` must be a number, not <value>"
for a value that is not a number or null, as the transform commands
do, and change nothing. Transform Each checks scaleH, scaleV, moveH,
moveV and rotate. Crop Image refuses a rect that is not an array of
four numbers with "rect must be [x, y, width, height]", the message it
already gave for an array of the wrong length; a null rect crops to the
artboard, as a missing one does.

document.pdfInfo refused PostScript (an EPS, a .ps file, or a .ai in
PostScript form), mostly with "this is a PostScript file ..., not a
PDF", although document.open and file.place read the same file
through the EPS reader as one page.
It now answers {pages: 1, needsPassword: false, pageInfo: [{width,
height, rotation: 0, boxes: {}}]}. The page is the file's bounding box
(%%HiResBoundingBox when it has one, a US Letter page without one),
read from its comments without running its program. thumbnail: 1 is a
PNG of what that page prints, read by the EPS reader without any
editing data the file carries. A program whose header is only %! is
read as PostScript, as clipboard.importEps reads it.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The PostScript interpreter that reads EPS and PostScript .ai files
accepts a FlateDecode or LZWDecode filter with Predictor 2 at
BitsPerComponent 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16, but undid the horizontal
differencing only at 8 bits. At the other depths the filter gave back
the stored differences, and the image drew them instead of its
samples.
The predictor is now undone at every depth it accepts, as ISO 32000-1
§7.4.4.4 describes: each component adds the same component of the
pixel to its left, within its bit width, and each row starts again.
16-bit components add as big-endian 16-bit numbers. The padding bits
at the end of a row stay as they are, and 8-bit data takes the same
path as before. The PNG predictors are unchanged.

While a Type tool edited text, a click on blank canvas ended the
editing and also placed new point type at the click. Area Type and
Type on a Path did the same with a click on a path.
Such a click now only ends the editing. The typing session is
committed, empty point type that a click placed is discarded as before,
and the Type tool in use stays active; the next click makes new type.
The same applies when the editing began with a double-click from a
selection tool. A click on other type still edits it at once, and a
drag that draws an area-type frame still makes the frame.
In number fields, Up/Down and a wheel notch added a whole step and kept
the fraction, so 5.1 mm stepped up to 6.1 mm. A plain step now goes to
the next whole unit in its direction (5.1 goes up to 6 and down to 5; 5
goes up to 6 and down to 4), and a Ctrl/Cmd step goes to the next tenth,
in the field's own unit. Repeated presses or notches of one size add or
take one step each, and presses and notches are applied in the order
they came. A Shift step still adds or takes ten and keeps the fraction.
The number fields that widgets.rs draws for the panels, the Control bar
and the dialogs (unit, percent, degree and count fields) all use this
step (widgets::step_value).
