What was wrong: the insert_chart tool had no x, y, w or h in its schema, so the
server refused them as unknown arguments, while insert_picture and insert_table
take them. A chart could only be placed at the default box, [144, 81, 672, 378]
on a 960x540 slide, and then had to be moved with a second command.
What changed: insert_chart declares x, y, w and h and folds them into the
engine's `rect` when all four are given, as insert_picture and insert_table do.
Without all four the chart keeps its default place.
How it was tested: insert_chart_takes_a_box failed before the change (the
arguments were refused) and passes after it. It checks the box of the placed
chart, that a partial box leaves the default place, and that an extreme box is
answered without a panic. The rest of the deckcraft-mcp tests pass, and clippy
is clean with -D warnings.
Fixes#1151
The gallery put all 24 picture styles in the ribbon row, about 1370 px, so
Alt Text, Arrange, Crop and Size sat past the ribbon's edge in any window
narrower than about 2500 px, the default 1440 px window and a maximized
1920 px one included. The row now shows as many styles as leave room for
the groups after it (at least two), sized from the width the tab left free
on the last frame, and an arrow opens all 24 in a menu, as the Transitions
and Animations galleries do.
Remove the duplicate header lines in gaps.md, ROADMAP.md, ui-parity.md and
localization-parity.md. Drop gap entries that landed: Morph outline alignment
(#67) and animation rewind (#77). Record that PR #75 was closed unmerged so
#60 stays open, and that #53 is closed with Windows image paste tracked in
#1414. Note Reuse Slides (#1103) and Compare reject (#850). Command count 323.
A full-screen show hides a still pointer after 2.5 s, which makes decks
with clickable, branching choices hard to use. Set Up Slide Show now has
Keep mouse cursor visible (`show.keepCursor {on?}`): the show then keeps
the normal pointer, and the pointing hand over links and actions, while
links still follow. It is a user preference kept in ui.json, since PPTX
has no place for it; off by default, Reading View unchanged.

Dragging one of several selected slides in the thumbnail pane or the
Slide Sorter moved only the dragged slide. Now the whole selection moves
as one run in deck order, in one undo step, stays selected and joins the
section it lands in; an unselected slide still moves alone.
- slide.move takes `ids` (checked against the deck while parsed, repeats
fold), alongside the unchanged `{from, to}`.
- The slide drag records its slides and the presentation it began in; a
drag in another presentation, or one whose release no view saw (a
Sorter double-click opening Normal view mid-gesture), is dropped
instead of moving slides on a later release.
- Normal-view thumbnails carry a "Slide N" label, like Sorter cells.

Format Shape's Fill section had no Slide background fill option, and
shape.fill had no parameter for it. A shape opened from a file with
useBgFill showed Automatic chosen.
shape.fill {background: true} now fills a shape with the slide
background, and Format Shape lists Slide background fill after Pattern
fill. It has no Color button or Transparency slider. Saving writes
useBgFill, and the slide background shows through the shape.
* egui037-20261022: migrate DeckCraft to egui 0.37
Preserve current-main document and PDF behavior alongside the reviewed input, capture, font, ribbon and notice-packaging migration.
Validation: cargo xtask ci passed all eight stages, with 1,877 workspace tests and three doctests passed, six tests ignored, strict native lint and 23 WASM crates checked. Native GUI, platform and performance qualification remains separate.
* E21: restore Latin coverage and enforce required font inputs
* Fix migration review findings in font validation and UI controls
* M-egui037: document UI lifecycle and regression contracts
* Colors: unknown preset and system colour names are rejected, and the writer saves black or windowText for them
* Gaps: copying text and cell ranges, list AutoFormat's option and Backspace, and a timing-sensitive control-server test
* Paste and Compare: media kept under a foreign id raises the next id, so a later picture gets an id of its own
* Tables: with a cell range selected, a press on the table outside its cells selects and moves the table
* Tables: a click on a selected table's grab band keeps the table selected instead of entering the nearest cell
Format Shape's Pattern fill set 25 % in accent 1 on background 1 and
offered no way to change it, and Format Background listed 10 of the 54
presets by their XML names. Both panes now show the same editor: a
gallery of the 54 DrawingML presets drawn in the fill's own colors,
each named in words, and Foreground and Background color menus.
With a pattern fill, Format Shape no longer shows the solid-fill Color
button, which replaced the pattern with a solid fill, or the
Transparency slider, which did not change a pattern. The renderer
exports the preset list and tiles for the gallery to draw.
The segment menu in Edit Points offered only Straight Segment and Curved
Segment. It now also has Add Point, which adds a point where the right
click was, Delete Segment, which removes the segment from a closed outline
so that the outline opens there (grayed out on an open outline), and Open
Path, which opens the outline at the segment's start point (Close Path on
an open outline).
`shape.deleteSegment` does the deletion for the CLI and MCP.
The place on a segment that a click picks was found only in steps of 1/32
of the segment, so Add Point and Ctrl-click could add the point as far
as 1/64 of a straight segment's length from the pointer. It is now narrowed
down after that first pass.
Adding or deleting a point now forgets a point type remembered for handle
drags, as opening and closing the outline already did. `shape.addPoint` on
the first point of an open outline no longer splits the closing edge of
another outline later in the same path.
Cmd+wheel on a Mac. Four notches double the zoom, up to 4x; zooming back to the whole slide leaves the zoom. The plain wheel still turns the page, and the trackpad pinch is still not a show gesture.
The Animation Pane row in ui-parity.md said the pane cannot preview from
the selected effect, but its button reads Play From and starts there
(animpane_tests). gaps.md, file-format-parity.md and the parity checklist
said .potx and .ppsx are saved with the .pptx content type, but
deckcraft_pptx::export_as writes the template and slide-show content
types, as a test in crates/pptx/tests/it/roundtrip.rs checks. The
gaps.md entry now covers only the macro-enabled variants. The checklist
row stays partial, and cargo xtask parity leaves the summary unchanged.
A handle drag in Edit Points ignored the modifier keys: the point kept
the type it had. In PowerPoint, Shift, Ctrl or Alt held during the drag
sets the point's type.
Shift held while dragging a point's handle now makes it a smooth point.
Ctrl (Cmd on the Mac) makes it a straight point, and Alt (Option) makes
it a corner point. The handle drag passes that type to shape.moveHandle,
and the point keeps it for the next drag without a modifier, as after
Smooth Point, Straight Point or Corner Point in the right-click menu.
Review › Language gets "Apply to: Selected text / Whole presentation".
The new format.languageAll command sets lang/noProof on every run in
the deck (slides, groups, table cells, notes, masters, layouts) and on
the master and default text styles, so new text inherits it. It needs
no selection and is one undo step; format.language is unchanged.

Home > Columns offered 1, 2 or 3 columns, always 18 pt apart, and Format
Shape > Text Box had the same three buttons. The spacing could not be
seen or changed, and picking a number reset it.
Home > Columns > More Columns... and a Columns... button in Format Shape
> Text Box now open a Columns dialog with Number (1 to 16) and Spacing in
inches, filled in from the text box. OK applies both in one undo step.
A Spacing left as shown keeps the text box's exact value.
format.columns with no fields opens the dialog. A key left out keeps the
text box's own value instead of resetting it to 1 column or 0 pt, and a
count that is not a whole number from 1 to 16, or a spacing that is not
a number, is an error. Before, an out-of-range count was clamped, a
count that was not a whole number meant 1 column, and a spacing that
was not a number meant 0 pt.
While the caret is in a table cell, a drag into another cell of the
table now selects the cells between them. The range takes in every
merged cell it touches, and the canvas shades the selected cells.
Moving back into the first cell returns to a text selection there.
Shift+arrow moves the cell the range was extended to, and the cell it
started from stays.
With a range selected, run and paragraph formatting apply to those
cells only. Delete clears their text and keeps the cells and the table,
and Copy and Cut take their text, with a tab between cells and a line
per row. Shading, Borders, Cell Margins and Align take in the merged
cells the range touches. A press in the table starts again in the cell
under the pointer.
ROADMAP.md: union of log rows. docs/animation-parity.md: main's header; the by-paragraph row from the PR, the triggers row from main; both revision rows.
