|---|---|---|
|

| 2026-11-10 | patch | M10, #1343 (also #1422, #2233): Windows: the window no longer draws below a hidden caption. FigCraft draws its own title bar on Windows and opens undecorated windows, but winit 0.30 still gives them `WS_CAPTION` and `WS_BORDER`; on some systems the desktop compositor reserves that caption, so the content was drawn about 30 px low (a black band above it) while clicks kept the client coordinates and landed above what was drawn. A per-frame step (`apps/figcraft/src/window_frame.rs`, safe `winsafe` calls, Windows only) clears `WS_CAPTION` and `WS_BORDER` from every FigCraft window, the main one and the others, keeping the sizing border and window buttons so edge resizing and snap work, and writes only when a style changed (winit puts them back on maximize and restore). The same fix as DesignCraft #2139 and PhotoCraft #2401; the maximize-to-work-area trim from DesignCraft is left for a later change. Not run on a Windows machine that shows the offset: the style math and the per-frame hook are tested, the window itself needs a live check. Tests: `window_frame_tests`. Numbers unchanged |
|
||||
| 2026-11-06 | patch | M8, #1906: under Wayland (seen on GNOME and KDE Plasma) a minimised FigCraft window still reports itself visible and the compositor stops asking it to draw, so every control or attached-MCP request waited for a frame and timed out after 60 s ("it was not applied"), though eframe kept running the app's logic. `control::background` now treats a window that drew no frame for `NOT_DRAWING_AFTER` (0.2 s) while a request waited for it as hidden: state-only requests are answered from the logic passes (0.54 s each, measured on GNOME Wayland; they took 13.7 s or timed out before), the wait starts again when the window draws, and screenshots and `ui.input` still wait for a frame. Test: `idle_tests::a_window_that_stopped_drawing_answers_from_its_logic_passes` |

||||
| 2026-10-30 | minor | M8: text reads only the fallback fonts it draws with. Each fallback family reads the face nearest a run's style, not all of them (Noto Sans CJK is seven files of 16–20 MB); families naming the faces of one file share its bytes; and the faces are worked out once per style until fonts change, not for every text laid out. First text laid out on a Linux machine with Noto Sans CJK, DejaVu Sans and Inter: 41 files (265 MiB, kept in memory) and 41 faces parsed → 3 files (20 MiB) and 4 faces; fallback lookups per text laid out ~45 µs → 0.2 µs.

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 colourLine truncated

| Click, Shift-click, marquee, Shift-marquee toggle | done | Shift-drag on a selected layer moves the selection, kept to one axis (#498); a marquee selects the top-level layers it touches, by the box and a rotated shape by its outline (rectangle and ellipse measured, the other shapes by the same code); a partly covered top-level frame or section gives the layers in it the marquee touches, an enclosed one is selected itself, an empty frame on touch; a drag from a frame's background selects that frame only when the marquee also takes another top-level frame (then whole), and also takes what it touches outside it; selecting a frame whole keeps the marquee at the top level (a partly covered frame then comes whole too); locked and hidden layers are skipped (`marquee_behaviour_tests`, `selection_behaviour_tests`; measured in Figma's web app, 2026-11-11; Shift and Cmd/Ctrl marquees not measured) (a locked layer selected from the panel ignores the arrow keys and the nudge commands; its properties still edit; measured in Figma's web app, 2026-11-10) |

Escape still leaves text and vector editing, ends gestures and the pen first, and ends the focus view once nothing or the focused frame is selected (`selection_behaviour_tests`, `devfocus_tests`) |

| 2026-11-11 | patch | M5, gap 4: marquee selection as measured in Figma's web app (Select layers and objects, Selection marquee): a partly covered top-level frame or section gives the layers in it the marquee touches (it was selected only when enclosed, so nothing came), an empty frame is selected on touch, a rotated shape is touched by its outline and not its box, a drag from inside a frame selects that frame only when the marquee also takes another top-level frame (then whole), and also takes the top-level layers it touches outside it, and selecting a frame whole keeps the marquee at the top level (a partly covered frame then comes whole, not its layers). Flipped: `marquee_selects_what_it_touches`, `cmd_marquee_selects_nested_layers`, `a_box_selects_like_a_marquee`. Tests: `marquee_behaviour_tests`. Counts unchanged |
|

| 2026-11-08 | minor | Vector edit mode, #1875, measured in Figma (web, real keys): Copy with segments selected takes only those (with just a point selected, the segments touching it) and a paste outside edit mode is a new vector layer in place; Cut removes them, the path splitting into subpaths in the same layer with edit mode staying on, and a paste outside gives a new layer with the cut segments; Paste while editing a vector adds the clipboard's segments, or a copied layer's outline, to the same network in place, selecting the pasted points, with no new layer and the bounds growing. FigCraft copied the whole layer, Cut left nothing to paste and Paste did nothing. `edit.copy`, `edit.cut` and `edit.paste` act so with no `ids`/`parent` given (Ctrl+X is the real Cut again; Shift+Delete still heals); the copy carries the layer's look (fills, strokes, effects, opacity, blend; the width profile only when every segment is copied); layers with no outline are skipped. Tests: `vector_clipboard_tests` |
|
||||
| 2026-11-08 | patch | Selection: Escape with layers selected clears the selection instead of stepping out to the parent first. Measured in the Figma web app with a rectangle in a group in a frame, selected from the canvas, from the Layers panel and after Tab: one Escape selects nothing. Editing, gestures and the pen still end first |
|
||||
| 2026-11-10 | patch | M5, #1560: locked layers follow Figma's rules (Lock and unlock layers; measured in Figma's web app): a locked layer selected in the Layers panel ignores the arrow keys and the nudge commands while its properties still edit, and a child of a locked layer keeps its padlock inert (the Layers panel padlock, Lock/Unlock and `object.toggleLock` without a value no longer lock the child on its own) |
