the crosshair of the shape and Text tools is drawn dark with a white edge, so it shows on a white frame whatever the system's pointer style (#2198); a boolean group takes a corner radius (and smoothing) that rounds every sharp corner of its result (#2222); the Point section's X and Y in vector edit mode show Mixed and set every selected point of the layer being edited, as in Figma; Preferences ▸ Invert zoom direction reverses wheel zoom, pinch unchanged (#2145); Shift while rotating lands on absolute multiples of 15°, measured in Figma; Flatten bakes a vector's point corner radius into its path (#2195); a click on a fill, stroke or effect row's grip or background highlights it, Cmd/Ctrl+C copies that paint or effect and Cmd/Ctrl+V pastes it onto the selected layers, as the help center's Copy and paste properties between layers says (#1494); wrap style per paragraph and in text styles (#1827); the Annotation tool (Shift+T, `tool.annotation {id?}`): with a layer selected (or an `id`) it asks the UI for that layer's note at once, and in the tool a press on a layer selects it and asks for its note, a press on empty canvas does nothing; the marquee follows Figma's measured rules: a partly covered frame or section gives the layers in it the marquee touches, a rotated shape is touched by its outline, a drag from inside a frame selects that frame only when the marquee also takes another top-level frame (then whole) (`marquee_behaviour_tests`); copy, cut and paste in vector edit mode act on the selected points and segments (#1875); M8, #2146: K focuses the Scale tool's factor field with its text selected, so K, 2, Enter scales the selection by two about the panel's origin (FigCraft's starts at the top left; Figma's grid starts at the centre, left for a follow-up because the origin also sets where a handle drag pivots, which is not measured) in one undo step, after which the tool returns to Move with the selection kept; Escape in the field closes it with the tool back on Move and nothing changed (measured in Figma's web app, 2026-11-09; `pressing_k_focuses_the_scale_field_with_its_text_selected`, `k_two_enter_scales_the_selection_by_two`, `escape_in_the_scale_field_closes_it_and_changes_nothing`); the main menu and its submenus stay inside the window, moving up to fit and scrolling when taller (#2217); locked layers ignore the arrow keys and a locked parent's children can't be locked on their own (#1560); the left rail's and tab strip's icons are larger, 20 pt (#553); pick select: Tab while the keyboard selection box shows (or the chord again) puts a pink outline on a layer and the keys walk the layer tree from it, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1836); scrubbing a field faster or slower by the pointer's height, with a notice of the speed, as the help center's Scrub fields says (#1837); component rows in the Layers panel at AA contrast in the theme's component tint, with the rows inside a selected component in a tone of its row (#1903); Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field sets all four sides with the value typed, a documented auto layout shortcut; a fill per region of a vector: with regions selected in edit mode, the Fill section and the fill commands edit those regions' own fills, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); the Fill section of a text whose characters were coloured differently while editing shows mixed content, characters that all share fills the layer doesn't have show those, and a layer-level fill edit reaches every character (#1856); a number field scrubs when dragged with Alt held, as the help center's scrub section says, not only by its label; reuse visible layer selection roots (M8); ; with a shape or frame tool chosen and nothing selected, the arrows show a placement crosshair in the middle of the view and move it, and Enter places there, as Accessibility at Figma says (#1839); text direction per paragraph: Text ▸ Text direction forces a paragraph left to right or right to left, as Add right-to-left text says (#1830), with `text.direction`, `node.set textDirection`, the Type settings control once a right-to-left script is in the text, inspect, the CSS `direction` and the `.fig` lines' `sourceDirectionality`; the boolean operation menu in the Design panel leads each entry with an original icon drawn in code, a filled preview of the result (#2003); a press on the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas keeps the colour picker open through the drag, as its own control (#1852); a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point curves it, its handles along the line between its neighbours, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); wrap style: Auto, Balance and Pretty on a text layer decide where its lines break, as Explore text properties says (#1827), with the Type settings control, `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle`, inspect and the CSS `text-wrap`; Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item keeps the item's indentation level, as the lists article says; max lines on auto-width text keep it auto width, hugging that many lines, as the text properties article says; superscript and subscript are synthesised where the font has no glyphs for them, from the standard glyphs shrunk and shifted by the font's OS/2 metrics, and a run mixing available and unavailable glyphs is synthesised whole, as Explore text properties says (#1828); Alt+Enter while editing text opens the link at the caret, as the accessibility page documents; Minimize, by its shortcut or the button by the file name, collapses the navigation bar and both sidebars as the help center says, with the right sidebar back while something is selected (#1835); the interface size keys of the help center's accessibility page: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Alt with =, - and 0 step the interface through the Preferences sizes and back to the system's size; Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+arrows rotate the selection a degree at a time, 15 with Shift, as the help center's accessibility page says; they resized before; the Layers panel answers Ctrl+1 as well as Alt+1 on Windows and Linux, the two keys the help center gives it; the colour picker's Image tab shows a placeholder and Upload from computer, an asset preview, and a file dropped on it replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop and position (#1682); the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does; the eyedropper with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift makes a colour style or variable of what it picks; sidebar number and text fields keep their text vertically centered when focused, including typography spacing;

It sampled a 1x1 render without the canvas's magnified-image pixels, so on an image magnified past 2x it blended a 1 px line with its neighbours (#3D444D picked as #343B44 beside #151B23), and the pixel it sampled began at the pointer instead of being centred on it. It now matches the canvas when zoomed in; zoomed out it still samples the full-resolution image, not the smaller copy the canvas may show. Test: `eyedropper_image_tests` |
 | 2026-11-09 | patch | M3, #2188: Selection colors shows for a selection holding a layer with children (a frame, group, component or instance) from one paint group, and for layers without children only from two paint groups (groups are counted by style, variable and paint value, as `collect` does, not by distinct colours); measured in Figma's web app on 2026-11-09 for the examples below only, and instance and component behaviour was not measured: a frame holding one red rectangle, a group of two red rectangles and a frame with a lone black-stroked rectangle show one row; one red rectangle, two red rectangles and a childless green frame show none; a red and a blue loose rectangle show two (two paint groups). A childless rectangle with a red fill and a blue stroke has two paint groups, so the engine shows the section (not measured). Tests: `selection_colors_tests`. Counts unchanged |
 | 2026-11-10 | patch | M1, #2198: with a shape, frame, slice or Text tool the pointer was the system's crosshair, white under some pointer styles on Windows and lost on the default white frame; it is now drawn at the pointer in dark lines with a white edge, open at the centre (`Glyph::Crosshair`), so it shows on any canvas colour. |
