M3: the text caret takes the text's fill colour (#2156)

Figma draws the text caret in the text's solid fill colour (measured in the web app, 2026-11-09). The overlay took the character before the caret, its run's fills or the layer's, and drew the topmost visible solid opaque; gradient, image and hidden fills keep the interface colour. Width, height, selection and collaborators' carets are unchanged.

Layout gives the paragraph its base level, so a forced right-to-left paragraph of Latin letters starts at the right, mirrors its list gutter and indent and orders its runs right to left, and a forced left-to-right paragraph of Hebrew the other way ("By default, Figma automatically handles text direction based on language detection.

+| 2026-11-09 | patch | M3, #2156: the text caret takes the text's solid fill colour (red text, red caret; light grey on a dark frame, light grey, one colour and no inversion), measured in Figma's web app: the fill of the character before the caret (the first one's at the start), opaque; gradient, image and hidden fills keep the interface colour (not measured). Width and height unchanged; collaborators' carets unchanged. Tests: `caret_tests` |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | Shortcuts: a Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field (the horizontal or vertical pair, or a side with Individual padding open) makes the value typed go to all four sides, in one undo step (Guide to auto layout, Keyboard shortcut guide); a plain click still edits that axis or side alone. A documented gesture row: 134 documented, 133 bound. Test: `padding_individual_tests` |
