object.lock.unselected is now reached by its key and as a command only:
the Object > Lock > Unselected Artwork menu item is removed, and the
command stays in the registry, the shortcut editor and automation.
In a partly selected clip group or compound path it now locks the
unselected members, the clipping path included, and leaves the container
and the selected members unlocked. It locks unselected guides while Lock
Guides is on. Hidden art and art on a locked layer stay unlocked, and a
selected layer's art counts as selected.
With a selection in isolation mode the command is enabled and locks only
the unselected art inside the isolated group. The other Lock and Hide
items keep their isolation behavior.
Lock and Hide still share one selector. A lock flag on it selects the
clip group, compound path and guide cases above; Hide > Unselected
Artwork keeps its behavior, and a test covers both directions.

The reference app locks all deselected artwork on Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+2.
VectorCraft had no command for it: Object > Lock held Selection, All
Artwork Above and Other Layers.
The new command, object.lock.unselected (Object > Lock > Unselected
Artwork), locks in one undo step the objects that Hide > Unselected
Artwork hides: every object that Select All takes and that is neither
selected nor holds a selected object. It returns the count. Hidden
objects stay unlocked. The selection stays as it is, Unlock All unlocks
the objects again and selects them, and with nothing to lock the
command records no undo step. Both commands now share one function,
which locks or hides the objects that the existing unselected helper
returns.
In isolation mode the menu item is disabled, and the command returns
the error "not available in isolation mode" that Hide > Unselected
Artwork returns there, and changes nothing.

Adds the evidence and revision rows that target-app-parity.md and
roadmap.md expect for the .ai/EPS import changes of 2026-10-30 (#4708,
#4664, #4723, #4742, #4658, #4727, #4738, #4744, #4748, #4743). Scores
and estimates unchanged.
An EPS saved for Illustrator 10 keeps its type in the editing data as
legacy text objects (`To` ... `TO`), with no `/AI11Text` slot for the
page's type to go in, so a file whose page had text came in as its page.
Those text objects are now the layers' own: the page's type isn't put
anywhere, and the comparison with the page decides as before. Type the
editing data keeps only as outlines stays outlines, with a note counting
the page's text objects that are.
Hiding a group with a panel's function key records the tabs it closed, and the next press reopens only that set with the panel in front. A tab closed on its own before the group was hidden, or reopened and closed again while the group was hidden, stays closed. The record is saved with the workspace.
When Brushes, Color, Layers, Info, Gradient, Stroke, Attributes, Graphic
Styles, Appearance, Align, Transform, Pathfinder, Transparency or
Symbols is in front of an expanded dock group or a floating group, its
function key now hides the whole group instead of closing only that
tab. The next press brings the group back in the same place with every
tab and the panel in front, and Window > a hidden sibling also restores
the group. A background tab still comes to the front on the first
press, and in an icon column the key opens and closes the flyout.
Other panel shortcuts and plain window.panel calls keep their behavior.
The function key shortcuts for Brushes, Color, Layers, Info, Gradient,
Stroke, Attributes, Graphic Styles, Appearance, Align, Transform,
Pathfinder, Transparency and Symbols now run window.panel with
toggle: true, as the Window menu items do. A second press hides an
active panel in the expanded dock, and the next press restores it in
its group. A chord the user assigns to one of these panels toggles the
same way. Plain window.panel calls still only show the panel.
A Hand or Space drag, a middle-button pan, a Zoom tool drag, a Rotate View
drag or a touch gesture is held in the canvas's drag state, which the tool
busy check does not see. Escape pressed while one is held no longer leaves
Full Screen Mode, closes the Edit Toolbar drawer or ends another action; an
Escape after the release does.
An Escape press that cancels a ruler-origin drag or a floating Tools
panel move no longer also closes Edit Toolbar's drawer, leaves pattern
edit, isolation or Global Edit, closes the tool flyout or resets a
rotated view. A later Escape does that action as usual.
In Full Screen Mode and Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar, an Escape that
leaves a focused text field, cancels a ruler-origin drag or cancels a
floating Tools panel move no longer also returns to Normal Screen Mode;
the next Escape does. Tests cover a dialog, a focused field, a tool that
claims Escape, pattern edit, Global Edit, a tool flyout and the rotation
reset pair in both modes.
In Full Screen Mode and Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar, an unmodified
Escape that nothing earlier in the Escape chain takes (a popup, dialog,
field, drawer, tool gesture, edit mode, flyout or the view rotation
reset) runs view.screenMode with mode 0. Presentation Mode and the F
cycle are unchanged.
In vertical type, Alt+Down/Up (with or without Shift) steps kerning at a
caret or tracking of selected text, Alt+Left/Right steps leading, and
Alt+Shift+Right/Left steps baseline shift; Cmd/Ctrl makes five steps.
Horizontal type keeps its mapping. Selected type objects follow the same
rule when all of them are vertical, and a selection that mixes horizontal
and vertical type takes the horizontal mapping in one undo step.
An Xy right after a gradient mesh's /End X! is the mesh's only when the
mesh's own 6 () XW follows. When the layer's LB follows (directly or
after the layer's Xd and 7 () XW) it is the layer's, as before, and the
mesh keeps the state it had. Also corrects the revision-history row that
still said meshes with handle weights of 0 aren't read.
Highlight Alternate Glyphs compares each glyph with required shaping
alone, which turns liga and calt off. Older Arabic fonts (such as the
legacy Arial of the Microsoft core fonts) put the mandatory lam-alef
ligature in liga instead of rlig, so every lam-alef was highlighted.
A lam + alef cluster (any alef form, marks allowed) is now never an
alternate candidate, whatever feature the font uses.
Adds a test font built in code (lam-alef under liga or rlig) and
host-independent regressions. Also two equivalent one-line repairs
strict Clippy needs on main: a nonminimal_bool in the Path Precision
Tools inspect check and is_none() in a gradient panel test.
Object › Plug-ins › Artwork Cleanup and a hideable Text row in its panel
gain text tools, each one undo step:
- Break Text into Lines / Paragraphs / Words / Glyphs: point type pieces
placed by the glyph of their first character, keeping their styles.
- Combine Point Text: one-line point type merged into as few objects as
it can, every glyph staying where it was (tracking and spaces, checked
against the layout).
- Split Text at Cursor, Remove Line Breaks, Remove Paragraph Breaks,
Set Alignment, Keep Position, Reset Text Transform and Replace
Missing Fonts.
The panel cleared its swatch selection when the active document or the
selected art changed, but kept the Shift-click range anchor. A Shift-click
in the other document then selected every swatch from a name clicked in
the first document (for example White) to the clicked one. The anchor is
now cleared with the selection, so the Shift-click selects only the
clicked swatch.
Type on a path from the editing data's text document came in at the
font's advances, while the file's own layout (and its page) closes the
glyphs up round the outside of a curve and opens them up round the
inside, even where the frame keeps no spacing. Round a circle the type
ran on past where the page ends it.
The spacing (Type on a Path Options > Spacing) that reproduces the
layout is now fitted from the layout's glyph positions, advances and
turns, using the text engine's own model, and set on the imported text
object. Corners and straight runs are left out of the fit.
The corner placement of placed files was tried only when the first
placement failed the comparison with the page. A small logo in the wrong
place differs too little to fail, so it stayed there. When the corner
placement draws closer to the page and still matches it, use it.
A .ai whose layers hold placed (linked) PDFs and no text object came in as
its PDF part, saying its layers had no text objects for its page's text.
The PDF part draws each placed file, type and all, where the layers show
its preview, so type that lies inside the placed files (at either of their
placements) is theirs and needs no text object. Type outside them still
does.
An Illustrator EPS draws its crop marks after the last layer, between
%AI3_BeginCrops and %AI3_EndCrops (inside userdict /AI3_noCropMarks known
not { ... } if). The reader took them for art outside the layers, and the
whole file came in as its page in one layer. The section is now skipped,
as other non-art sections are; the crop area is %AI3_Cropmarks.
In the editing data of a .ai or EPS file, a gradient mesh's own state
(`Xy`) comes right after its `/End X!`, before its `Xd` and `XW`, as a
group's comes after its `U`. The reader took it as the next object's, so
a Multiply shadow mesh came in as Normal and painted opaque white over
the art under it, while the file's page shows the shadow.
An `Xy` read straight after a mesh ends now also applies to that mesh.
An `Xy` after the mesh's `Xd` and `XW` stays the next object's.
Some files write a handle weight of 0 on some gradient mesh corners. The
reader took only weights of 1, so the mesh and the whole file's layers
were unread. A weight of 0 draws as the same cubic edge against the files'
pages; other weights still leave the mesh unread.
