A menu under each of the five tiles in Pattern Brush Options lists None,
Original and the document's pattern swatches; the corner menus keep the
four automatic corners. A swatch choice copies the swatch's whole art and
its tile frame into the brush, so the brush keeps drawing after the swatch
is deleted, and the menu then shows that art as Original. Side cannot be
None: OK shows "You must choose a side pattern." and keeps the dialog open.
brush.options takes side_tile, outer_corner_tile, inner_corner_tile,
start_tile and end_tile (a pattern name, none, original, the corner auto
ids, or {"pattern": name} for a swatch named like one of those words), and
rejects side_tile "none" and unknown names before editing.
The question records the document it was opened for. If another document has become the active one by the time it is confirmed, it closes as Cancel does.
The question for unused brushes checks again when Yes is chosen. If a stroke uses one of the brushes by then, the dialog asks with Remove Strokes and Cancel instead of deleting.
The dialog offers Remove Strokes and Cancel, so the question asks only about taking the brushes off the strokes. Both questions are reworded in every catalog.
The question for brushes no stroke uses reads "Delete the brush selection?" with Yes and No, from the bottom button and the panel menu, and Alt-click (Option-click on macOS) on the button still deletes them without asking. When a stroke uses one of the brushes, the button, Alt-click and the menu item ask with Remove Strokes and Cancel; Remove Strokes deletes the brushes and the strokes that used them become plain strokes.
brush.unused also counts the tile that pattern editing's Cancel puts back, which brush.delete already clears, so the panel asks the in-use question for a brush only that tile uses.
The confirmation for several brushes now goes through i18n::tn, as the
Graphic Styles prompt does, and each catalog gives the count-dependent
forms in an @plural row.
The Brushes panel's Delete Brush button and its panel menu item now ask
before deleting the selected brushes, as Swatches and Graphic Styles do.
OK deletes them in one undo step and strokes that used them become plain
strokes; Cancel leaves the document unchanged. Alt-click (Option-click on
macOS) on the button deletes without asking. The brush.delete command
still deletes at once.
Opening a polygon's Corner dropdown closed the Shape Properties popup,
so no corner type could be picked from it. The popup now uses
widgets::popover, which keeps it open while its dropdowns are open.
A live rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse or polygon selected with the
Selection tool shows a Shape Properties button where Lock was. It opens a
popup with the shape's rows from the Transform panel, which stays open
while the fields are edited. Every other selection, and the Direct and
Group Selection tools, keep Lock; Object > Lock and Cmd+2 still lock a
shape.
The Transform panel, the Properties panel and the popup draw the rows
through one live_shape_rows function.
The Symbols panel's Delete Symbol button and menu item now ask before
deleting. A symbol no instance uses gets "Delete the selected symbol?"
with Yes and No. A symbol with placed instances gets Expand Instances,
which turns the instances into ordinary art, Delete Instances, which
removes them, and Cancel; either Instances button deletes the symbol in
one undo step. Alt-click on the button deletes an unused symbol at once
and still asks about one with instances.
The question is bound to the document it was asked in: once another
document is active, or the symbol is gone, Yes deletes nothing, and a
symbol that gained instances while the question was open gets the
in-use question instead. symbol.delete itself does not ask.
The shared dialog frame takes a Cancel label (DialogSpec::cancel) for
the No button. The new strings have rows in every catalog.
The test moves the focus to the Roundness field before the drag and
steps the Angle with an arrow key after it, so it fails if a drag stops
giving the preview the keyboard focus.
The tip preview square in the Blob Brush Tool Options set the Angle by a
drag but had no accessible name, no value and no keyboard control.
Screen readers now get it as the Angle slider with the Angle in degrees
as its value. A click or a drag gives it the keyboard focus, and the
arrow keys, Shift with an arrow, Page Up and Page Down, Home and End
step the Angle within -180 to 180 degrees, as the dialog sliders built
on color_slider_stepped do (crates/ui-egui/src/widgets/color.rs). The
new widgets::stepped_area gives a caller-drawn control that slider's
screen-reader node, focus, keys and focus outline.
A built-in add-on in Object › Plug-ins › Arrange Tools (#4830, #4831, #4832, #4833, #4834):
- addon.arrange.grid lays the top-level selected objects out in rows and
columns, a row or a column (stacking order from the back, visual bounds,
each object centred in its cell), from the selection's top-left or
centred on the artboard.
- addon.arrange.swap swaps two objects' bounds centres, and with `size`
their widths and heights.
- addon.arrange.replace puts a copy of the topmost selected object centred
on each of the others, in its stacking place, kept, stretched or fitted
in proportion; the replaced objects are deleted unless `keep`.
- addon.arrange.size gives each selected object an exact width and/or
height about a reference point.
- addon.arrange.zoomSelection (a UI command) fits the active view to the
selection.
Places and sizes are measured as object.setBounds measures them (its
transform, now also available per object), strokes scale as Scale Strokes
& Effects says, each command is one undo step, and Arrange in Grid,
Replace with Top Object and Set Size of Each open previewed dialogs.
Catalog rows, command sweep cases, docs/mcp.md, parity docs and the

The grid options' public page lists a Preview option: the repeat on the canvas follows the fields while the dialog is open. Object > Repeat > Options had none, so a change showed only after OK. Now a Grid Repeat's dialog has the checkbox: Cancel puts the original back without a history step, OK keeps the previewed values as one undo step. Radial and Mirror Repeat Options are left as they are, since their public pages list no Preview.
The Bosnian catalog still carried the Color (,) and Gradient (.) rows, which no longer match the toolbar's tips. It now translates Color (, or Shift+,) and Gradient (. or Shift+.) like the other catalogs.
The Color and Gradient tips now read "Color (, or Shift+,)" and
"Gradient (. or Shift+.)". The shortcuts follow the key positions, so on
layouts where Shift at those keys types another character the tips name
the keys to press. The 25 catalogs with these rows and the toolbar
accessibility test follow.
The key-position match for Shift+Comma and Shift+Period now applies only
when Shift is the only modifier. Cmd/Ctrl+Shift and Alt+Shift presses at
those keys keep their logical key, so the type-size shortcuts on German-like
layouts behave as before. The typing test also checks that no paint command
runs while text is edited.
With a fill row selected in the Appearance panel, Add New Fill now
inserts a copy of that row directly above it and selects the new fill.
Rows already above the selected one stay where they are. Before, the
new fill was always a copy of the topmost fill, added at the top.
The selected row belongs to the first selected object. In a mixed
selection, an object that shares that row gets the copy above its own
equal row; an object that does not share it gets a copy of its top
fill on top, as before. With a stroke row selected, or with `ids` or
`target: "contents"`, Add New Fill works as before.
The panel drops rows that were Cmd- or Shift-clicked together when the
active row changes outside the panel, so after Add New Fill (button,
menu or shortcut) only the new fill is selected.
The Tool Options tip preview floored the short axis at 1% of the long one, while the brush draws 0% Roundness at 0.1%. The preview now uses the same 0.1% minimum, with a test that compares it with the tip the brush draws.
Blob Brush Tool Options gain Angle (-180 to 180 degrees, 0 by default)
and Roundness (0 to 100 percent, 100 by default), with a preview of the
tip and three dabs; a drag in the preview square sets the Angle. The
elliptical tip keeps its angle on the page along a stroke, a 0 percent
tip is drawn 0.1 percent as wide as it is long, and Size set to
Pressure still varies its size. path.blob takes angle and roundness,
and both values are kept with the tool's options.
While a non-round tip drags, the Blob Brush shows the outline of the
area it covers with its length label, and an Alt drag that smooths
shows the Smooth tool's thin line.
In these languages a count ending in 1 (other than 11) takes the singular form, which read as one swatch or one group. That form now names swatches and groups with the count in parentheses.
The confirmation for deleting several swatches and groups now goes
through i18n::tn, as the Graphic Styles prompt does, and each catalog
gives the count-dependent forms in an @plural row.
The first UI pass installed the default theme over the one the saved
preferences had applied earlier in the same frame, and later frames saw
the preferences as already applied. Classic, a non-default accent and a
Canvas Color showed as the defaults until a preference changed, and again
after the app took a new graphics context. The first pass now applies the
saved preferences.
With a blend selected, the Contextual Task Bar's Corner and Smooth
buttons failed with "select paths or anchor points", since
`path.convertAnchors` only read paths. They now convert every point of
the blend's spine, as they convert every anchor of a path selected
whole, in one undo step. The key objects stay where they are.
With Direct Selection, the Control bar and the Properties panel now
show their Convert buttons for a selected blend too.
The command palette runs a picked command with no params. Export Assets
then failed with "no assets yet" (or, with assets collected, exported
to no folder), and Remove, Rename and Asset Export Settings failed or
did nothing. Run with no params from the palette, a menu or a shortcut,
these four commands now show the Asset Export panel, and leave it open
when it already shows, docked or floating. Calls with params are
unchanged.
In the web build, pressing Shift and then a letter in one frame sends the Shift press, the
letter's text and then the letter's key press. The text paired with the Shift press as the press
before it, so a key-position shortcut looked up Shift instead of the letter, and a held Shift's
repeated presses dropped the text as a repeat. Modifier key presses now never pair with a text.
A text-only event right before a desktop keystroke in the same frame ([text, key, text]) took the key press as the press after it, which left the keystroke's own text with no key. A text now takes the press after it only when every later text in the same run of alternating texts and presses has a press after it too, as in the web build's [text, key] order; otherwise the press goes to the text after it.
eframe's web build sends a keystroke's text before its key press. On a
layout without Latin letters, the one-key shortcuts paired each text with
the last key press before it, so in the web build a lone keystroke had no
key and ran no shortcut, and a second keystroke in the same frame used
the first one's key.
Each text now takes the press right before it, unless an earlier text in
the frame took that press, and otherwise the press right after it. The
one-key shortcuts and the shortcut names a tool sees while it is busy use
the same pairing. The desktop order (key, then text) pairs as before.
