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.

A PDF of thousands of gradient meshes in a CMYK document with transparency
took minutes to export (186 s at 72 ppi for an 18,577-mesh page). Each mesh
was cut into quads coloured in RGB, and drawing a CMYK document by ink planes
separated every quad's colour back to CMYK through the profile, twice: the
4,096-colour separation cache, flooded by the meshes' interpolated colours,
cleared over and over.
- doc: GradientMesh::color_at mixes corners that are all CMYK (or all grey)
in that space, as a PDF shading mixes in its own: exact inks, nothing to
separate.
- render: the separation cache holds 65,536 colours.
- render: a mesh's quads are filled into one image by scanline (every pixel
to the quad its centre is in: no seams) and drawn through the mesh's
outline, instead of one path per quad; meshes over 16 MP on screen are
drawn quad by quad as before, backed by each opaque patch's outline (#2456).

While an export runs in the background (Background Export), a dialog shows
what is being exported and how far it has got: artboard by artboard for a
raster export of several artboards, busy otherwise. Cancel (also Esc) stops
it and writes no file; Continue in Background leaves it to the status bar.
It opens after 0.4 s and never over another dialog.
Built on the shared vectorcraft_doc::cancel (#2546): fileio::progress::Progress
wraps its CancelToken and a progress sink, so a cancelled export stops
drawing and keeps no half-drawn pattern tile or effect raster.
- ui: background jobs carry their Progress; export_progress draws the
dialog; UI commands file.cancelExport and file.exportInBackground.
- i18n: the strings in every language with complete menus, Danish, Dutch
and Indonesian included; "{n} more exports waiting" is a plural (trn).
- docs: ui-parity, gaps (G12) and ROADMAP rows.

The Paragraph panel menu's Justification… was a disabled stub, and justified
lines stretched word spaces between fixed limits (80% to 150%).
Each paragraph now has Justification options: Word Spacing, Letter Spacing
and Glyph Scaling (Minimum, Desired, Maximum, in percent), Auto Leading and
Single Word Justification. Desired applies to every line; a justified line
fills its measure with word spacing first, then letter spacing, then glyph
scaling, each within its range, and past them its word spaces take the
rest. The Every-line Composer scores lines by that flexibility. Auto
Leading sets the leading of characters whose leading is Auto. A justified
line holding one word is spread between its letters (Full Justify) or
aligned left, centre or right.
The defaults are the documented ones (80/100/133, 0/0/0, 100/100/100, 120,
Full Justify), saved only when they differ. Because the default maximum
word spacing is 133%, justified paragraphs break differently than before;
the Every-line Composer's second pass is now unbounded for justified text
(it used to give up past four times the stretch and fall back to the
Single-line Composer, which the narrower default range would make common),
and lines that can't stretch at all are still refused.
text.setFormat takes wordSpacing, letterSpacing, glyphScaling ([min,
desired, max] or {min?, desired?, max?}), autoLeading and
singleWordJustification; Minimum ≤ Desired ≤ Maximum must hold or nothing
changes. Paragraph styles carry the options (New and Redefine capture
them), and Reset Panel resets them. Justification… opens a dialog
(ui.justification) with Preview; OK is disabled while a row is out of
order. Live SVG text places characters the options move, and a glyph that
Glyph Scaling scales is stretched to its width; PDF uses the glyphs'
transforms. Vertical type isn't glyph scaled; type on a path doesn't use
the options.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/type-parity.md, docs/gaps.md.
Closes#2755.
