The problem is that each uiBlock needs to be assigned a unique name,
but when there can be multiple modifiers of the same type, we use the
panel sort order for the unique part of the string. However, the most
recent test file has 1200+ panels in the property editor, so 4
characters isn't enough for a unique string.
That's not a situation I expected, but it makes sense, because we don't
remove legacy panels with unused types when loading old files. So they
tend to accumulate a bunch of unused panels. That's why this works fine
with a new property editor, it doesn't all of the extra old panels.
These panels must be stored for the expansion status and order, but
arguably we could cull unused panels on save. However, simply increasing
the length of the unique panel string is a valid fix in this situation.
In the future, we can look into removing unused panels when saving.
This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains
information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context
path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group
hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks
what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores
the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access.
The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking
on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances,
the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context.
This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation
mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either
the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at
a specific node.
The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like
a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an
open spreadsheet editor.
Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor.
Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two
different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different
nodes.
The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by
clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now.
This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

This patch adds domain and data type information to each row of the
attribute search menu. The data type is displayed on the right, just
like how the list is exposed for the existing point cloud and hair
attribute panels. The domain is exposed on the left like the menu
hierarchy from menu search.
For the implementation, the attribute hint information is stored as a
set instead of a multi-value map so that every item (which we need to
point to descretely in the search process) contains the necessary data
type and domain information by itself. We also need to allocate a new
struct for every button, which requires a change to allow passing a
newly allocated argument to search buttons.
Note that the search does't yet handle the case where there are two
attributes with the same name but different domains or data types in
the input geometry set. That will be handled as a separate improvement.

Pass `bContext *C` a bit further down the call stack, to prevent

This adds the ability to get a selection list for both edit mode bones
and pose mode bones.
To do this the selection menu list logic had to be reworked a bit.
Before it only stored the names of objects. This might work will of
objects, however as stated in the code, it might fail for linked objects
(so multiple object can have the same name in some corner cases).
For bones it is a very common occurance where you can have multiple
armature that has the same bone names. So now it also stores the object
and bone pointers for this case.

Fix T85796
While the existing behavior worked as intended,
it wasn't possible to have two views on the same file at different

Since there isn't much use in having two views open at the same location
allow one view to be at a different scroll location.
UI edit-source and selecting a text data block now need explicit calls
to scroll to the cursor location.

- Don't use `r_` prefix for an argument that's also read from
(this is meant for return only arguments).
- Rename variables to make it clear the distance is pixels,
using manhattan length measurement.
Regression in 80cbbd2843.
Unfortunately keeping selection picking behavior as well as
supporting finding the nearest face within a radius requires an
inconsistency between x-ray and back-buffer selection that
doesn't work well using the current arguments.
Resolve by adding an argument that causes the input distance
to be ignored for back-buffer selection.
This is used by selection picking but not the knife tool.
This changes behavior for path-selection in face mode,
which now uses a margin for back-buffer selection.
From my own testing this doesn't seem to be a problem like it could be
for regular selection picking.
Now `ED_view3d_backbuf_depth_validate`, `ED_view3d_draw_depth` and
`ED_view3d_draw_depth_gpencil` are unified in `ED_view3d_depth_override`.
This new function replaces `ED_view3d_autodist_init`.
Also, since `ED_view3d_depth_update` depends on the render context, and
changing the context is a slow operation, that function also was removed,
and the depth buffer cached is now updated inside the new unified drawing
function when the "bool update_cache" parameter is true.
Finally `V3D_INVALID_BACKBUF` flag has been renamed and moved to
`runtime.flag`.

In the current implementation, cryptomatte passes are connected to the node
and elements are picked by using the eyedropper tool on a special pick channel.
This design has two disadvantages - both connecting all passes individually
and always having to switch to the picker channel are tedious.
With the new design, the user selects the RenderLayer or Image from which the
Cryptomatte layers are directly loaded (the type of pass is determined by an
enum). This allows the node to automatically detect all relevant passes.
Then, when using the eyedropper tool, the operator looks up the selected
coordinates from the picked Image, Node backdrop or Clip and reads the picked
object directly from the Renderlayer/Image, therefore allowing to pick in any
context (e.g. by clicking on the Combined pass in the Image Viewer). The
sampled color is looked up in the metadata and the actual name is stored
in the cryptomatte node. This also allows to remove a hash by just removing
the name from the matte id.
Technically there is some loss of flexibility because the Cryptomatte pass
inputs can no longer be connected to other nodes, but since any compositing
done on them is likely to break the Cryptomatte system anyways, this isn't
really a concern in practise.
In the future, this would also allow to automatically translate values to names
by looking up the value in the associated metadata of the input, or to get a
better visualization of overlapping areas in the Pick output since we could
blend colors now that the output doesn't have to contain the exact value.

I landed D10527 in rB1a8aee0a7cec accidentally, and the version there was
missing a name change discussed in review. This commit just renames the
boolean variable controlling the special behavior for attribute search.
Original message meant for this change:
For geometry nodes we will use search buttons to display a list of
attributes available the last time the node tree was executed (D10519).
Because this list is just a hint, we need to be able to enter any string,
not just strings from the search items.
This patch adds a boolean option to string buttons to enable this.
The change is quite simple, changes to behavior are only required in
two places. The type-specific button struct changes help a lot here.

Currently when you open an RNA collection search button, like a
vertex group selector, the search filter isn't applied until you
start typing, in order to display every option at the start.
Otherwise they wouldn't be visible, since the search filter would
run for the current text.
Currently this check happens in one place, but it relies on the
`changed` value of `uiBut`. This is fine in the interface directory,
but anywhere else it would require exposing `uiBut.changed`, which
is probably too low-level to expose.
The solution is adding an `is_first` argument to the search callbacks,
which is nice for a few reasons:
- They work at a higher level of abstraction, meaning they don't
have to worry about how exactly to tell if this is the first
search.
- It makes it easier to do special behavior when the search menu
is first opened.
- Then, obviously, it makes that state accessible without including
`interface_intern.h`.

Render previews for Action datablocks by rendering the scene camera with
the Workbench (solid) engine. The //look// can be configured by setting
the scene's render engine to Workbench and editing the scene's shading
properties.
It is assumed that the pose has already been applied and that the scene
camera is capturing the pose. In other words, the render function just
renders from the scene camera without evaluating/applying the Action
stored in `preview->id`. The ID is only used to determine its type and
to store the resulting preview.
Not all code paths that lead to the `action_preview_render()` function
actually provide a depsgraph. The "Refresh Asset Preview" button
(`ED_OT_lib_id_generate_preview`) does, but `WM_OT_previews_ensure` does

This commit also significantly cleans up the FModifier UI code, and
improves, mainly by replacing the old button creation code is with
the newer interface API using RNA. In turn there is a bit of complexity
added because each FModifier has a separate panel.
Although reordering of FModifiers was not implemented before, we get

As noted in some older to do tasks, FModifiers aren't evaluated

Changes:
* The filling speed has been improved for each step of the process with the optimization of each algorithm/function.
* New `AutoFit` option to fill areas outside of the viewport. When enable, the total size of the frame is calculated to fit the filling area.
* New support multiframe filling. Now it is possible to fill multiple similar frames in one go.
* New `Stroke Extension` option to create temporary closing strokes. These strokes can be displayed and adjusted dynamically using wheel mouse or PageUp/Down keys.
* Parameter `Resolution` now is named `Precision` and has been moved to topbar.
* `Resolution` now has decimals and can be lower than 1 to allow quick filling in storyboarding workflows. Maximum value has been set as 5.
* Parameter `Simplify` has been moved to Advanced panel.
* Improved fill outline detection. In some cases, the outline penetrated the area to be filled with unexpected results.
* Fixes some corner case bugs with infinite loops.
As a result of this refactor, also these new functionalities has been added.
* New support for multiframe in `Draw` mode. Any drawing in active frame is duplicated to all selected frame.
* New multiframe display mode. Keyframes before or after of the active frame are displayed using onion colors. This can be disable using Onion overlay options.
