 | 2026-11-06 | patch | M7, #2032: closing a tab whose file has unsaved changes, by its X, a middle click, File ▸ Close tab or its shortcut, only showed a toast ("save first, or close again with Alt to discard") and left the tab open, so closing seemed not to work. It now asks the unsaved-changes question the window asks (`windows::TabClose`): Don't Save closes the tab, Cancel or Escape keeps it, Save saves the file and then closes it (a file without a path, or saved as .fig, asks where with Save as first and stays open if that is cancelled); Alt+close still drops the changes at once, and `file.close`'s `dialog.unsaved` request asks too. The three toasts left the catalogs. Tests: `titlebar_tests::closing_a_tab_with_unsaved_changes_asks`, `titlebar_tests::save_in_the_tab_question_saves_then_closes`. Reordering tabs by dragging, the issue's other half, landed on 2026-10-19 (`dragging_a_tab_along_the_bar_reorders_it_without_detaching`) |
 | 2026-11-05 | minor | M4, #1830: a paragraph's base direction can be forced (`TextDirection`: Auto, Ltr, Rtl on `ParaList`): Text ▸ Text direction ▸ Auto / Left to right / Right to left (`text.directionAuto` / `Ltr` / `Rtl`) and `text.direction {direction, ids?}` set the edited paragraphs while editing, else the layer's; `node.set textDirection`; the Type settings control once a right-to-left script is in the text; inspect `textDirection` / `lineDirections`; CSS `direction`; `.fig` lines' `sourceDirectionality` in and out. Layout gives each paragraph its base level (`Bidi::of` runs the algorithm per paragraph, as it starts over at each). Before, direction came from the letters only ("controls are available to override text direction per paragraph", Add right-to-left text). Tests: `text_behaviour_tests::text_direction_is_forced_per_paragraph`, `fig::text_direction_tests::a_lines_source_directionality_is_its_paragraphs_direction_both_ways`. |
 | 2026-11-02 | minor | M1, #1836: pick select. Tab while the keyboard selection box shows, or Alt/Ctrl+Space again, puts a pink outline on the first selected layer (the page's top layer with nothing selected); Tab and Shift+Tab move it between sibling layers as the Layers panel lists them, Enter into a frame's top child, Shift+Enter out to the parent (never the page), Space selects the layer under it, Escape or a press on the canvas ends it; the chord again while the pick cursor shows brings the box back (Accessibility at Figma). The control channel's `ui.key` sends the box's and the pick cursor's keys to them too. One documented row more (135, 134 bound); four gesture rows. Tests: `layers_keyboard_tests::tab_switches_the_selection_box_to_pick_select`. |
-| 2026-11-12 | patch | M8, #2238: every 24 pt icon button outside the Design panel draws its glyph at 16 pt through `widgets::icon_glyph_rect`, not 14 pt: the Layers panel's Minimize, search and add page buttons, the Assets back button, the Versions panel's row menus, the Dev Mode status button, the Prototype panel's flow buttons, the preview pane's bar buttons, Home's Online row menus and the style picker's 24 pt buttons. Smaller buttons (the picker's 22 and 20 pt ones, the popover's 24 pt close button with its 12 pt cross) keep their smaller glyphs. Tests: `icon_button_size_tests` and the `icon_size_tests` beside the panels. Numbers unchanged. |

 | 2026-11-02 | minor | M8, #1875: a fill per region. With regions of a vector selected in edit mode (a press inside one with the Move tool, `vector.edit.select {regions}`), the Fill section lists the regions' own fills (the layer's for a region that has none; mixed content when they differ) and its rows and the colour picker edit them: `fill.set`, `fill.add`, `fill.remove`, `fill.move` and `fill.paste` on the edited layer go to the selected regions' stacks (`Region.fills`, what the renderer already draws), the layer's fills and fill style untouched; `regions: [index, ...]` names them on any vector layer (Edit vector layers). Tests: `regions_tests::the_fill_commands_edit_the_selected_regions`. Numbers unchanged. |
