In Interface text inputs, when double-clicking to select a word, set
the "initial selection position" to the beginning of the word. This way
you can continue to select forward by dragging before releasing mouse.

When the tool settings or asset shelf header would draw with some
transparency, the separator line between regions would visibly overlap
the background behind buttons, which looked unpolished. Ensure there is
no overlap (but also no gap, which became visible after accounting for
the separator line in the background drawing).
The `blender-v4.0-release` branch would not build because some parts of grease pencil v3 were still exposed when experimental features are disabled.
This is hiding the relevant parts behind `#ifdef WITH_GREASE_PENCIL_V3` to make sure they are only built when the experimental features is enabled.

After changing tools (and possibly other context), the buttons section
background drawing would be broken for one redraw, so the full region
would be drawn with a background, rather than just behind the button
boundaries.
This is necessary to let popovers redraw when asynchronously loading
data. For example to display assets or asset catalogs as they get
loaded. Needed for the asset shelf catalog selector popover. Menus
already do the same to allow populating the menu with assets as they get
loaded.
Draw the background of the asset shelf header fully transparent, with an opaque
background with rounded corners behind sections containing buttons. This
reduces the visual space consumed by the asset shelf, and makes the header
follow a tabbed folder metaphor better. Also, this works much better with our
click-through feature, where transparent parts of regions without buttons are
passed through the region under it (we might want to consider unifying code
here a bit).
The edge to drag for region resizing respects the transparent sections.
When there is little space between sections, the sections get merged so that
there are no small gaps in the bar.

It was already called that way in the UI, since it's referring to a
behavior, not a type. Update the code to match that. Note that this is
a BPY compatibility breaking change for 4.0.
In Vulkan (and Metal) it is not possible to use a global as point
size. It needs to be set for each vertex when drawing points. Blender
has specialized shaders for that, but not all code respect those
shaders.
This PR will add an assert inside the vulkan backend when incorrect
usage of shaders are detected.

The order of collections in the light linking collection is important
as it is used for tie-breaking when the same object is reachable from
multiple linked collections with different light linking state.
This commit utilizes the generic tree view reordering operations to
allow insertion of elements to a specific location and to re-order
existing objects and collections in the light linking collection.
It is possible to re-order both collections and objects, even tough
re-ordering objects does not really make a difference for the light
linking behavior. It is not possible to place an object before
collections.

In preparation of https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/112535, we need to make sure all layer tree manipulations are in functions on the `GreasePencil` struct so we can keep the `CustomData` for layers in sync with the layer tree.
This PR makes sure that all the functions that change the layer tree in any way are `protected` on the `LayerGroup` class. The `GreasePencil` struct is declared `friend` with `LayerGroup`.
We also cleanup and remove a lot of code duplication between layers and layer groups and try to write functions in a generic way for `TreeNode` (both layers and layer groups are tree nodes).

The goal is to make the search faster to use by dynamically adapting to the user.
This can be achieved using the simple but common approach of showing recently
selected items at the top. Note, that the "matching score" between the query and
each search item still has precedence when determining the order. So the last used
item is only at the top, if there is no other search item that matches the query better.
Besides making the search generally faster to use, my hope is that this can also
reduce the need for manually weighting search items in some places. This is
because while the ordering might not be perfect the first time, it will always be
once the user selected the element that should be at the top once.
This patch includes:
* Support for taking recent searches into account in string searching.
* Keep track of a global list of recent searches.
* Store recent searches on disk similar to recently opened files.
* A new setting in the user preferences that allows disabling the functionality.
This can be used if deterministic key strokes are required, e.g. for automated tests.
In the future this could be improved in different ways:
* Add some kind of separator in the search list to indicate which elements are at
the top because they have been used recently.
* Store the recent search items per search, instead of in a global list. This way
it could adapt to the user even better.

The issue was that `event.utf8_buf` is not null-terminated.
In debug builds, it's explicitly filled with `0xff` which let to
the garbage characters. Now check for the size of the first
valid utf8 char and only copy that.
Thanks to PratikPB2123 for the investigation in #112719.
This change makes it so the list interface in the properties panels looks
closer to things like shape keys, vertex groups and so on: there are two
buttons to add selected objects to the collection and remove active item
from the collection, as well as the "extra" drop down menu.
The add operator adds selected objects to the light linking collection
using the Include policy. For the light linking it means that the objects
are added as receivers that receive the light, and for the shadow linking
it means that objects are added as blockers which cast shadow from the
light.
The communication of the active list element is done via context property
similar to how it was done before. The difference is that these properties
are set on a parent of the list layout, which makes it so they are inherited
by the layout hierarchy needed to place the Remove button.

Part of #107742.
There used to be a small margin between items since the layout feels a
bit crammed otherwise. But this meant the mouse could be between items,
with no item highlighted or reacting to interactions. This was
especially annoying when dragging over items for drag and drop: in
between items dropping wasn't possible, and the drag-tooltip would
disappear, causing notable flickering during motions over the tree view.
The view item is now slightly enlarged to keep a look that is not too
crammed, and still remove the space between items. Item highlights are
still drawn with a smaller height (matching the normal widget height),
since anything else looked odd to me.
This now feels quite consistent with similar UIs (e.g. File Browser list
view or the Outliner), even though we give the items a bit more space.
Padding buttons are supposed to be invisible but were drawn like
regular menu items.
For the most part it doesn't make a difference, since most themes
use transparent menu items anyway.
But e.g. the "White" theme is using opaque menu items, which
would causes the padding button to overlap at the corner when
the roundness of the menu background is very high.

With 9d0907560a, button tooltips would now often display the label even though
it's already visible in the button itself.
This fix brings back the old logic for displaying the label, but it's still
possible to override the label via the callback introduced in the earlier
commit.
Comments are updated/added here to make the behavior more clear.

This patch adds multi editing support to
FCurve modifiers using the ALT key like in the rest of Blender.
Just like object modifiers they need to be named exactly
the same and be of the same type in order for the multi editing to work.

Mismatch between what drawing assumes and what the function to query the
full preview tile uses. This would cause previews to be scaled down
because the button wasn't tall enough. Only affected the asset shelf and
the asset view template.
- rna_Event_unicode_length would return -1 if utf8_buf wasn't a valid
unicode sequence, while this shouldn't happen, assert and return zero
instead of returning a bad length.
- Move comment on wmEvent::utf8_buf null termination to a doc-string.
There were enough cases of callers ignoring a potential the error value,
using the column width for e.g. to calculate pixel sizes, or the size in
bytes to calculate buffer offsets.
Since text fields & labels can include characters that return an error
from BLI_str_utf8_as_unicode, add the suffix to make this explicit.
* Add icon to "Reset Color Ramp" (same used by Reset to Default Value)
* Add icon to "Flip Color Ramp" (sideways arrows, similar to invert
vertex groups).
* Add separators after stops distribution operators, and before
reset since they have pretty different purposes.
This adds an optional uiBut callback that allows creating a tooltip
line-by-line with specified style and color in any order. It also
allows adding images as well to create very informative tooltips.

Allow transparency in both text and background color, to allow blending
the selected color with whatever is underneath. Making theming more
flexible, especially since the same property is used in different backgrounds.
Note: this doesn't affect the default themes since all of them have the alpha

The context contained an invalid region pointer after closing the popup.
In the bug report this caused problems making a copy of context.property
which accesses the region, but doing other access to context.region was
a problem as well.
Calling an API function after the node panels patch does not internally
tag the node tree with `NTREE_CHANGED_INTERFACE` any more, because the
node tree is not directly accessible from `bNodeTreeInterface`. Before
node panels the API functions for interfaces could tag the tree directly
for later update consideration, which now requires explicit tagging
calls.
The fix is to add a flag and mutex directly to `bNodeTreeInterface`, so
API methods can tag after updates. This mostly copies runtime data
concepts from `bNodeTree`. The `ensure_interface_cache` method is
equivalent to `ensure_topology_cache` and should be called before
accessing `interface_inputs` and similar cache data.
