In Presentation Mode the canvas showed the active tool's cursor, a
right click selected the object under the pointer and opened the
context menu, and every key other than the arrows and Escape worked as
in Normal Screen Mode: tool keys, Delete, Enter, Tab, F and the
command shortcuts. A two-finger tap undid. With a tool that claims
Escape, such as the Intertwine tool, Escape did not leave the mode.
In the mode only the Escape, Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys now act,
and Escape leaves the mode whatever the tool. Every other key press,
the text it types and the clipboard keys are dropped before any
shortcut reads them, the macOS menu bar's key equivalents included. A
right click or a long touch opens no context menu, a two- or
three-finger tap undoes or redoes nothing, and the pointer over the
canvas is the default one. F and Shift+F no longer leave the mode;
Escape does.

In Presentation Mode the arrow keys moved the selection, and the
active tool received a click and selected or drew as it does in
Normal Screen Mode. No key or click moved the view to another
artboard.
Left Arrow and Right Arrow now go to the previous and the next
artboard, and a click anywhere goes to the next one, through
view.goToArtboard, as the status bar navigator's Previous and Next
buttons do. On the first artboard Left Arrow leaves the view as it
is, and on the last artboard Right Arrow and a click leave it as it
is. No arrow key moves the selection in the mode, and the tool gets
no press, drag or hover, so a click selects and draws nothing. A drag
with the middle button or with Space held no longer pans the view
there; the mouse wheel still zooms and scrolls it.

Presentation Mode hides the menus and panels, had no Escape and was saved with the
preferences, so it came back on every restart with no way out. Escape now leaves it (as in
Illustrator), F from it goes back to Normal Screen Mode, and the screen mode is no longer
saved: the app always starts in Normal Screen Mode, and preferences saved in Presentation
Mode by older versions open normally. ui.inspect reports `screenMode` on its own.
Desktop file drags carry no pointer position or modifiers (winit 0.30 on Windows, macOS
and X11), so every drop on a window with a document open was taken for the middle of the
canvas and placed. Where the platform doesn't say, a dropped document (native, SVG, PDF,
.ai, EPS, DXF, EMF/WMF) now opens as a tab of its own and a picture or text is placed in
the middle of the view; pictures dropped together with documents are placed first, so the
last document opened is shown. The web, whose drag events give the position, keeps
Illustrator's choice: placed on the canvas, opened off it (the tab bar).
Illustrator's PDF-compatible part leaves out art outside the artboards (it lives in the
private data alone, which isn't read), so it can't open; importing a file with that
private data now says so in a note. Off-page art a PDF does draw already opens on the
pasteboard; a test keeps it so.
