Short movements still classified as clicks can select all; that case remains open.

Escape leaves Artboard editing for Selection; during a drag it first cancels the gesture. Headless egui key events cover idle Escape, active-drag cancellation and a subsequent Escape in `tests_distortkeys.rs`.

   Choosing the Artboard tool (Shift+O, its toolbar button, Edit Artboards in Properties or Document Setup, or the Artboards panel menu's Artboard Options…) starts it on the active artboard: the canvas outlines that artboard, and Delete, Cut, Copy, the Transform panel and Artboard Options act on it.
 - **Geometry and effects:**
   - Pathfinder (10 exact curve booleans), Offset, Outline Stroke, Simplify, Clean Up, Split Into Grid, Divide Objects Below. Object › Path › Remove Anchor Points (`path.removeAnchors`) removes the direct-selected anchors without opening their paths (the Delete key still deletes them with their segments): the neighbours keep their handle directions and their facing handles are refitted so one cubic follows the two old segments, and straight sides stay straight. The Delete Anchor Point tool uses the same refit. The Control bar, the contextual task bar, the Properties quick actions and the canvas context menu offer it when anchors are selected. With anchors selected, the Control bar and the Properties panel also convert them to corner or smooth (`path.convertAnchors`), connect end points (Join) and cut the path at them (`path.cutAtAnchors`, also on the task bar and the context menu): a closed path opens there and an open one becomes one path per piece, each cut leaving one of its two coincident anchors selected so a drag pulls the path apart.
+  - Divide uses open lines, bent paths and curves as cutting edges (#1307), preserving the frontmost filled face's appearance and holes. Engine tests cover implicit closure of filled open contours and unrelated objects; native automation confirms independent piece movement, one Undo/Redo, canvas/window captures and an exact saved-document read by a separate CLI process. The shared planar map retains its 4,096-segment cap and filled-area fallback; other Pathfinder operations are unchanged.
   - Initial live Revolve (#605, #846): a portable geometry and shading crate (`three-d`), editable path and compound profiles, compact options with artboard rotation and light gizmos, SVG/PDF vector output and Expand Appearance that can trim covered faces. Open ends are uncapped, shading is flat with one light, and intersecting surfaces' visibility is approximate ([revolve.md](revolve.md)).
   - Live effects with previewing dialogs: Distort & Transform, Path, Convert to Shape, 15 Warp styles, Round Corners, Scribble, Effect → Pathfinder (all 10 operations, live on groups; several loose objects are grouped first, in one undo step), Color Adjustments (Brightness/Contrast, Curves, Levels, Hue/Saturation, Shift to Color, Temperature/Tint, on vectors, live type and embedded images), and raster drop shadow, glows and feather. SVG and PDF export keep live effects (geometry baked; SVG raster effects as filters).
   - **Simplify feedback and component selection (#1272):** the existing tolerance dialog previews from the original interaction snapshot and shows original/new anchor counts. Preview off and Cancel restore the document and selection; OK is one Undo. A refit or Add Anchor Points clears component indexes only on paths whose geometry changes, keeping their objects selected whole and unchanged paths' components intact. Engine and real-egui frame regressions cover document/selection restoration and grouped paths.
