A drag started while the map of a large selection was being built was
recorded for replay. Escape ended the drag but kept the recorded
gesture, so the release was ignored, the tool kept waiting, and the
next drag's events were added to the canceled one. Escape now drops it.
The Live Paint Selection tool acted only on the press, so a drag
selected at most the one face or edge under the pointer. The reference
app selects every face and edge a marquee touches, partly enclosed ones
included, and a Shift-drag adds them to the selection or removes them.
A drag of 3 pixels or more now draws a marquee. On release, select.set
selects the faces and edges it touches, or select.none runs when it
touches none. With Shift held at the press, select.toggle runs with
what it touches, and nothing runs when it touches none. A face that holds the whole marquee counts. Select Fills off
leaves faces out, and Select Strokes off leaves edges out.
A click now changes the selection on release instead of on the press,
so Escape between the press and the release, which also removes the
marquee, leaves the selection as it was. The tool no longer highlights
or selects the faces and edges of a Live Paint group that is locked, on
a locked layer or on a locked artboard, or that is outside the isolated
art in isolation mode.

Escape did not cancel a drag with the Anchor Point, Mesh, Shape Builder
and Measure tools, or a Direct Selection drag of a mesh point, a corner
widget or the brackets of type on a path: the drag went on until the
mouse was released. Escape cancels every other Direct Selection drag
and a drag with the Free Transform, Rotate, Reflect, Scale, Shear and
Gradient tools.
Escape now cancels an Anchor Point drag, a Mesh tool drag of a mesh
point or handle, and a Direct Selection drag of a mesh point or handle,
a corner widget or the brackets of type on a path. The art goes back to
how the press found it, no undo step is added, and the rest of the drag
and the release send nothing. Escape during a Shape Builder drag ends
it, so the release merges and deletes nothing; the tool takes Escape
only during the drag. Escape during a Measure tool drag ends it and
brings back the measurement shown before the press. Escape after an
Anchor Point or Direct Selection press that has not moved yet drops the
press. Otherwise, outside a drag, Escape does what it did before.

A Shape Builder click or drag over a selection of more than 128
segments merged on the UI thread, so the app stopped drawing and
answering until the merge was done. The tool now computes such a
merge on another thread from the map it built for the hover.
Meanwhile the canvas keeps drawing, the touched regions stay
highlighted and the pointer is the busy pointer. When the merge is
done, the tool runs shapeBuilder.merge with the gesture's params as
one undo step, and the command takes the computed shapes when it
would compute the same ones. The web build merges in the command, as
before.
A press while the map is still being built no longer waits for it on
the UI thread: the tool records the gesture and makes it once the map
is there.
Clicks, drags and the Shape Builder's arrow keys made during the
merge, and commands, menu items, the app's own dialogs, saves and tool
or document switches, run after it on the merged art; engine queries
that only read run at once. A change to the selected paths made
outside a command drops the merge. The headless host and ui.pointer
reply once the merge is applied.
The Shape Builder and the Live Paint Bucket keep their map of the
selection over a new revision of the document when the selected paths
and their outlines are unchanged, instead of building it again.
