For a brief moment when switching to a maximized screen full area, the
screen context is missing its `object` it seems, until the context is
properly set up again.
Prevent the 'Context' object has no attribute 'object' by just checking
if it is available

Adds the ability to connect and disconnect strips in the VSE.
- Connected strips have an icon indicating their status, and attempting
to select one connected strip selects all other connected strips in
that chain.
- If the user attempts to connect a strip that is already connected to
other strips, that strip will disconnect itself from others before
connecting to new strips.
- Preview selection also works in bulk if multiple video strips are
connected together in the timeline.
- When adding new strips from the Add menu or the File Browser, strips
from the same file are connected by default. There's an option to
turn this off in Editing > Video Sequencer user preferences.
- It is possible to individually tweak strips/handles and ignore
connections with Alt+Click.
- This shortcut overrides the old keymap item for "Linked Handle"
selection. The property still exists if people want to use that
shortcut for its old purpose.
- To make sure that connections remain valid even after duplication,
I've added a condition to `seq_new_fix_links_recursive` that also
updates connections using the `seq->tmp` var. (A note -- I've updated
the comment for this field in `DNA_sequence_types.h` because the var
is only used for duplication now. It was once present in
`select_more_less_seq__internal` to be used for linked selection but
is gone now).
- There are also functions to cut one-way links and make sure that
all strips are bidirectionally connected after duplicating.

Support segment mode in Grease Pencil v3 selection operators.
This is a continuation of #109221.
Segment selection works in multiple stages:
1. When enabled, the 2D evaluated lines for all visible curves are
entered into a BVH tree. This tree is used to find intersections later
on. All the visible drawings are in the tree, an `OffsetIndices` array
is used to record ranges of BVH elements for each drawing.
2. Primary selection functions get alternative versions that produce an
`IndexMask` instead of writing directly to selection attributes. This
makes it possible to detect select actions on points that are already
selected. Using a delta of selection attributes for this is not enough
to detect such user actions (and inefficient).
3. In segment mode the `IndexMask` is extended to fully cover segment
points (or exclude them when deselecting respectively). This first
performs and intersection test using the BVH tree, then finds all point
range with selected elements.
4. Finally the extended index mask is applied to selection attributes as
usual.

Implementation of the soft mode of the eraser tool for GPv3.
In this mode, the eraser decreases the opacity of the points it hits.
If the opacity of a point falls below a threshold, then the point
is removed from the curves.

This adds the Eyedropper tool to GPv3.
A few changes have been made:
- Added `Brush` mode.
- Set active color in palette.
- Show the palette in the UI.
- Add UI for setting material mode.
- Drag for color accumulation.

This operator sets the new default group node width (from e842966c5e) based on
the parent group node. This makes it easier to initialize the value. Without
this, one had to create and delete the group node potentially many times to find
a good default width.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/126239
This adds the ability to customize the default width of a group node that's
created for a node group. This feature works towards the goal of unifying the
features available to built-in nodes and node groups. We often customize the
width of built-in nodes from them to looks slightly better (e.g. to avoid
cut-off labels).

This patch introduces a new experimental option for the new CPU
compositor under development. This is to make development easier such
that it happens directly in main, but the compositor is not expected to
work and will probably crash.

This issue occurred only on Mac which has to circumvent
geometry shaders lacking support for them.
This patch reverts the vertex shader for Mac devices to
how it was before f9ea64b0ba. (and uses the frag shader from before that commit)
In order to communicate that to the user I added a label
in the GUI when the platform is Mac.

Add a toggle for Fast GI Approximation in the header of the panel,
following Cycles layout.
Move the `Max Roughness` setting inside the panel, and rename to
Threshold.
Since Fast GI Approximation only has any effect when Threshold/
Max Roughness is below the max (1.0), gray out the rest of the
panel when at that value.

Modifiers in the VSE have mask properties first, then modifier-specific
settings. This breaks consistency with other modifiers for objects
and Grease Pencil.
Move Mask properties to the bottom, after a separator, and group them
in a column for better alignment.

This type of projection is often used e.g. in exhibitions that leverage big
curved screens.
Effectively, the frame is mapped onto a cylinder, with the x axis becoming the
longitude and y axis becoming the height.
Users can configure the min/max longitude, the min/max height and the radius of
the cylinder.

This removes the terminal periods automatically added to the end of
tooltip items. The current desire is to only end in period if there
are multiple sentences - so if there is one in the middle of the
description. This also converts our uses of lists to use space and
bullet, rather than just bullet or asterisks.

Hide the Action Slot selector in the Action editor behind the experimental
flag. Not only shouldn't it be shown, but also it uses an API that's only
available in experimental builds.
This gives users the ability to control the size of tooltip text
separately from other text styles. This is an accessibility issue
in that users with low vision can choose to make these larger than
the working text.

Add an Action Slot selector to the Action editor's header, next to the
Action selector. The selector shows all slots in the action that are
suitable for animating objects (as the Action editor itself is limited
to showing the Action of the active object).
This also considerably simplifies the 'Animation Debug' panel, as some
debugging code has been removed, as well as the display of any animation
layers. The latter can be reintroduced (if necessary) when multi-layer
animation support is added. Most importantly, it removes the
WindowManager property that was used as a hack to assign layered Actions
to objects.
API change: the RNA property `AnimData.slot` is now a pointer property
that reflects the actual slot (it used to be an enum property).
Some small changes to the UI code were necessary to make the selector
show the slot's display name (and not their internal name).

Core extensions should have their bugs reported as any other issue in
Blender.
This PR removes their "Rrport a Bug" link.
I left the link only for glTF since it has its own tracker. But I
wouldn't mind removing it as well.
Ref: !125218
This adds two new nodes:
* `Grease Pencil to Curves`: Converts each grease pencil layer into an instance
that contains curves.
* `Curves to Grease Pencil`: Converts top-level curve instances into grease
pencil layers.
This opens up many new opportunities:
* Use grease pencil as input to other procedural systems that don't necessarily
output grease pencil.
* Generate grease pencil from scratch using geometry nodes.
* Temporarily convert grease pencil data to curves to use more powerful features
for curves processing.
Some data on layers are not attributes yet unfortunately, so there is some
special case handling for the `opacity` attribute. This was previously discussed
at the geometry nodes workshop:

This PR removes the "Widget Label" text style, found in Preferences /
Themes / Text Style. This results in both labels and the text found in
input boxes sharing settings. This results in a slight loss of
customization but it isn't that useful to have these things separate
and results in code complication and errors.
