With the Selection tool, a single selected grid repeat shows a handle below the grid (rows), one right of it (columns), one past its bottom-right corner (both) and sliders between its first two columns and rows (horizontal and vertical spacing), as the public Set grid repeat options page describes. Each drag previews object.repeat.options and commits as one Repeat Options undo step; Escape cancels, and a drag that ends where it began leaves no step. Bounding-box handles keep priority where they overlap, and the controls hide with the edges or the bounding box. Before, a drag there scaled the source or started a marquee.
Part of #2691.
Every pointer move of a frame went to whatever tool was active, so with
a fast mouse (or a pen) a tool whose drag preview is costly (the
Selection tool moving a large selection, Free Distort, the Width tool)
redid it for each, up to 64 times a frame.
Tool::wants_samples (default false) says a tool builds a stroke from
the drag's samples: the Pencil, Paintbrush, Blob Brush, Eraser, Knife,
Smooth and Path Eraser answer true (the Paintbrush through its wrapper),
the Join tool doesn't. The canvas still reads the frame's moves every
frame, so the macOS feed's pressures stay paired, but replays them only
to such a tool; every other tool gets one drag a frame at the latest
position. A frame whose moves end where the last frame's did still
reaches the tool.
Tests: only_the_freehand_tools_get_every_move_of_a_frame (Pencil,
Paintbrush and Blob Brush get the 19 moves before the last, Selection,
Direct Selection and Width none),
a_mouse_stroke_keeps_a_frame_that_ends_where_it_started,
the_freehand_tools_want_every_sample, and
a_mouse_stroke_keeps_every_move_of_a_frame now checks every position in
order, not only the count.

A Pencil stroke always previewed as the path it draws, with its full
appearance: with a fill set, the fill flipped between the shape and its
inside-out as the stroke crossed itself or curved back, and hid the line
being drawn.
Pencil Tool Options get a Live preview checkbox, above Live curve
fitting, on by default and kept with the tool's other options
(`livePreview`, settings.rs). With it off, the stroke previews nothing
while it is drawn: a thin line follows the pen (the drag overlay the
Knife and Blob Brush already show), and the release, or a switch of
tool mid-stroke, draws the path with its fill and stroke, as one undo
step, as before. Escape still cancels the stroke. With it on nothing
changes. The Paintbrush has no such option and keeps previewing.

(lists Live preview and Live curve fitting among the Pencil's options).
The checkbox label is translated in all 24 catalogs.
Tests: pencil_with_live_preview_off_shows_a_thin_line_until_the_release
(tools), pencil_with_live_preview_off_draws_the_filled_path_on_release
(engine), and the freehand dialog test shows the checkbox for the Pencil
only.

A selected compound path (a shape with a hole, such as one made with
Object › Compound Path › Make) could not be redrawn with the Pencil or
the Paintbrush: at the press, find_redraw looked only for selected
objects that are paths themselves, and a compound path's paths are its
children. The stroke then drew a new path, which Keep selected selected
in place of the compound path, so every later stroke near the shape drew
a new path too: redrawing seemed to stop working.
- find_redraw takes a selected compound path's member paths as well,
the nearest one within Edit selected paths within of the press.
- path.freehand's redraw keeps the compound path selected (or, with Keep
selected off, takes it out of the selection) when the redrawn path is
one of its members, so the next stroke redraws it too.
Test: pencil_redraws_a_selected_compound_path redraws the outer path and
then the hole of a selected compound path; it fails without this change
(the first stroke draws a new path).
cargo xtask ci: every step passes except one test in `test`,
vectorcraft-pdf tests_import_fidelity::text_becomes_point_type, which
fails the same way on unmodified main on this machine; it is unrelated
to this change.

Draw freeform paths with the Pencil tool says a small star appears on
the Pencil when it is ready to draw a freeform path, and Reshape paths
with the Pencil tool says the star disappears over a selected path the
drag reshapes. The Pencil cursor had no star.
- New Cursor::PencilNew: the Pencil's crosshair with a small star where
the closing cursor has its ring. It becomes the crosshair with Use
Precise Cursors and as a system cursor.
- The Pencil shows it before a press when neither find_extend nor
find_redraw (the lookups the press uses, within Edit Selected Paths)
finds a selected path under the pointer. Over such a path and while a
stroke is drawn, the cursor has no star.

Pencil Tool Options has a Live curve fitting checkbox, on by default.
With it off, the path shown while a Pencil stroke is drawn joins the
stroke's points with straight segments, and the release fits the curve
at the Fidelity, as it does with the option on. Choosing another tool
while a stroke is drawn also keeps the stroke fitted. The option is
saved with the tool's other options.
path.freehand takes fit (true by default): with fit false, a new path,
a continued path and a redrawn section join the points with straight
segments.
The reference app detects lists typed as 1., 1), A. or A), and makes
custom bullets from *, #, > or + followed by a space. In VectorCraft
the characters stayed as text.
When the Type tool types a space on its own after one of these at the
start of a paragraph in no list, the typing so far becomes one undo
step. The new command text.startList then removes the typed characters
and the space and makes the paragraph a numbered list in 1, 2, 3 or
A, B, C, or a bulleted list with the filled dot. A paragraph with no
indents gets the 18 pt hanging indent. One Undo puts the characters
back as text with no list, and the caret goes on after them; Redo
removes them again. The same characters later in a paragraph, list
characters pasted in one piece with the space and a paragraph already
in a list start nothing.

When both sides of a 1.5 pt bar have a point level with a click 0.1 pt
from its end, the point of each side nearest the click is the end of a
segment, so the sides were not tried and an Alt-click there touched the
end edge.
A segment end now also counts when the segment is square there to the
line to the point, so splitting a side at the click gives the same
answer as an unsplit side.
A point 0.1 pt from the end of a 1.5 pt bar is nearest the end of the
bar, and the line from there through the point runs along the bar, so
the region did not count as narrow and an Alt-click there touched the
end edge.
A region now counts as narrow at a point when it is no more than twice
the tolerance across from any outline segment within the tolerance whose
point square to the line to the point lies inside the segment, as well
as from the nearest point of the outline. Segment ends other than the
nearest point are not tried, so a point added on an edge does not change
the result near a corner.
In erase mode the tool tests each point for a line piece or an edge
within the tolerance before the region under it. Every point of a region
narrower than twice the tolerance is that close to its edges, so an
Alt-click, the Alt hover and an Alt-drag over a thin overlap touched its
edges and not the overlap, and the overlap was left behind.
A point in a region now touches the region when the region is no more
than twice the tolerance across there, measured from the nearest point
of its outline through the point to the outline on the other side. This
covers a drag at any angle, a drag that starts or ends in the region,
and a thin shape inside another or on its own. Near an edge of a wider
region, the edge is touched as before.
shapeBuilder.merge built the planar map of the selection again, on the
thread that runs the command, although the Shape Builder tool had just
built the same map for its hover. The tool now returns its map from a
new Tool::shape_builder_map, and the command uses that map when its
inputs are the merge's inputs and its gap is the merge's gap; otherwise
it builds its own as before. The tool's map has the outline edges, so
erasing and splitting a stroke use it too.
A group counted as a Live Paint group when its name started with "Live
Paint". A plain group named, for example, "Live Painting" was then read
as one. With it and another shape selected, the Shape Builder found no
regions in it, and a merge on the other shape deleted the group and its
paths. Make Live Paint took the group as a Live Paint group to merge
into, and its paths did not become sources.
A Live Paint group now also needs its sources group, the group named
"Live Paint Sources" that Make Live Paint puts in it. A plain group with
such a name is traversed like any other group.
