This was added 7 years ago as 'safe' preservation of previous behavior,
when ID copying was refactored and more control was added over its
behavior.
However, it was never removed since then, even though `NO_PREVIEW` flag
has been part of the `LOCALIZE` copying behavior since many years.
So time to remove this enforced bahevior and use the API as designed. If
this causes new issues, they will have to be fixed in code calling the
ID copy API (most likely by simply adding the `NO_PREVIEW` flag to the
copy options).
The snap cursor internally snaps to the Face to define the occlusion of
the Grid or to calculate the "Surface" orientation set by the tool.
Even though this is not the snap point enabled by the user, this
internal Snap to Face takes precedence over the Snap to Grid that is
enabled by the user.
To solve this, the solution is to do a second snap test but now only to
Grid and using the hit point as a reference for the closest grid.
Also fixes Absolute Increment Snap not being detected as Grid by the
tool.

This was caused by ba28469e, which subtracted the start of the
offsets array, so it can't be used for "max array size" any more.
Use the "last()" entry directly to correctly size the view

The default mouse cursor would show if the user disabled the paint cursor.
This is not ideal, because the default cursor is pretty big and gets in the way,
especially for tablet users.
The fix sets the cursor to `DOT` (which is very small) when the
"Show Paint Cursor" option is disabled.

When changing render engine, we discard the persistent data
that could be saved for all the current render instance that
exists. This is to save memory for the new renderer.
When doing so while rendering for F12, `engine_depsgraph_free`
is called after waiting for the render to finish. But this
can be called before the renderer destruction and on the main
thread.
Doing so on the main thread means that the `gpu_context` used
by the renderer cannot be bound for the sake of just receiving
the orphan buffers that the depsgraph holds. This is because
only the worker thread can make the gpu context active.
Binding the draw gpu context in this situation avoid all
possible conflict.
This is basically doing exactly what the
`DRW_render_context_enable/disable` function is doing internally
if the render engine gpu context is null.

The issue was that if the `delta_time` attribute didn't exist, the drawing
would appear immediatley.
In case we don't have any drawing speed information, the fix
makes it so that we fallback to use the number of frames
to build the strokes.

This seems like a long-standing misuse of the custom vert normal APIs.
It broke, obviously so, in 3.1 but 3.0 was also rather fragile as was
noted in the original bug report.
The `BKE_mesh_set_custom_normals_from_verts` should be the correct API
to use when loading in vert normals from external files. The current
code would yield faceted mesh shading, as-if there were no custom
normals at all.

d2a802d3c6 got overzealous by removing the "tweak" property which was
actually necessary to differentiate box select on click-drag vs. box
select on B. Fix by restoring the tweak property for everything but
preview keymap items (where it doesn't actually do anything).
Main reason this happened is because the original description was a bit
too cryptic, so update it to be clearer.

The crash was caused by the texture wrapper being out of date.
This happened after workbench finished rendering AntiAliasing and
going into blit-result-only mode. Doing so was causing a use after
free caught by ASAN.
But this only partially fix the bug as workbench render then becomes
uninitialized (black most likely) after dragging the window to the
second monitor. This is because the TAA texture gets recreated since
the new viewport resolution doesn't match the old one. But this
recreation does not tag as a viewport update so the TAA stays in
blit-result-only mode.
Detecting the viewport resolution change at the engine init level
seems the safest option for now, and it fixes the remaining issue.

10ef436c8f sets the tooltip callback for asset shelf buttons, causing a
code path to be executed that refreshes tooltips in `UI_block_end()`.
This relied on projection matrices being stored for blocks to position
the tooltips, which were incorrect. I think this would be a general
issue for dynamically sized regions, but keeping the fix minimal for now
to avoid further issues.
Layers and layer groups did not generate message bus callbacks.
This was a regression from 4.2. The fix adds
`WM_msg_publish_rna_prop` to (some) places where the layers/groups
change or the active one changes.
Also resolves#129539.
Note: This does not cover every possible scenario and only fixes
the regressions from 4.2. The message bus is still very unreliable
when it comes to detecting changes of properties.

The merge layer operator did not copy the parameters of the original
Grease Pencil meaning that it would e.g. loose onion skinning settings.
This fixes the issue by making sure to copy the parameters.
This was caused by 9a03f283e8.
The change disregarded the `orig_layers_to_apply` mask and
introduced some issues regarding clearing keyframes of deleted layers.
The fix does two things:
* Add a `orig_layers_to_apply` set that contains the pointers of the
original layers that we want to apply.
* Add a `orig_layers_to_clear` set that contains the pointers of original
layers that need their keyframe cleared.
When a layer is removed during modifier execution, we don't want
the layer to be deleted in the original geometry. Instead we clear
the keyframes by deleting all the curves geometry. A layer
can be removed by e.g. using the `Grease Pencil to Curves` node to
get curve instances, then the `Delete Geometry` node to delete
some instances, and finally `Curves to Grease Pencil` to convert back
to Grease Pencil.

The list of vulkan devices is empty. This regression was introduced by
91960b07db. Vulkan needs to initialize the
platform twice. Once when the backend starts, and the second time when
the device is selected. The device list is added when the backend
starts, but was cleared when the device was initialized, making the list

Always use the Brush.color setting in the Draw mode side bar.
Technically the "Color" panel in the sidebar can draw in other modes,
but it's polling for explicit tools that limit it to the Draw mode
implicitly.
Use the appropriate brush or unified color in other GP modes based on
the unified paint settings flag.
Worth noting this was technically broken for a long time:
The default was that unified paint is disabled, so the GP panels would
use the brush color as expected. Enabling unified paint would then break
the colors, probably wasn't done very frequently since GP files
and e.g. mesh sculpting don't mix often. The default was changed in
#129127 to enable unified paint by default, which now breaks GP colors
by default.

Applying a modifier on Grease Pencil objects tries to maintain the
original layer order by inserting each layer after the previous. This
ignores layer groups and all layers get move to the root group.
This patch replaces the simple `previous_node` with a per-group pointer
map, which maintains order within each group only.
The code is also creating new layers when the original node of the same
name is a group. This was creating duplicate names which are not allowed
and break various things (layer editing buttons, panel open/close
toggles, etc.). Now these new layer names are made unique to avoid a
name conflict.
One remaining issue is that mixed layer/group ordering is lost: All the
layers get pushed to the bottom of the stack, due to the way
`geometry::merge_layers` ignores layer groups. The existing groups in
the orig data are not sorted along with the evaluated layers, so they
move to the top of the stack. This requires changes to `merge_layers`
and should be handled separately.

Earlier in the brush assets project, for mesh sculpting, grease pencil,
and curves sculpting, the toolbar brush icon used was changed to a
version with a green highlight. This commit reverts that change to use
the monochrome grey icon instead in each of these modes.
For Sculpt mode specifically, the Paint tool icon is kept as this green
version to differentiate the usages. In future releases, further changes
are planned for sculpting related brushes to better represent their
functionality.

In `execute_realize_grease_pencil_tasks` we create a new `GreasePencil`
but don't copy the parameters of (one of) the source grease pencils.
The fix adds `BKE_grease_pencil_copy_parameters` to copy the parameters
of the last src grease pencil.
Note: `BKE_grease_pencil_copy_parameters` copies the materials array. We
might want to remove this and always do the copy of this using a separate
function because some callers need their own way of copying them.

For Metal we can change the texture usage flags to get more optimal
behaviour - one example is adding the attachment flag so we can utilise
renders to do texture clears. However these usage flags are used as the
part of the match-criteria when trying to reuse released textures in
the texture pool.
The modifications means a request for the same type of texture will
fail causing a cache miss. When we render to an
image-view the texture pool is not released until the final sample has
been rendered as we consider the entire render to be a single frame
(as opposed to normal viewport rendering when we are presenting the
intermediate results).
This causes the texture pool to grow and grow and grow hence the large
memory usage. This fix splits the usage flags
into two sets, the internal ones we use to create the MTLTexture (which
we may modify) and the originally requested ones. The originally requested
ones are used for the texture pool matching.
This fix also improves memory efficiency for normal viewport rendering.

Code detecting unused drawings and swapping them with a used one would
fail in a most basic case, leading to invalid state down the line:
```
[used_drawing, unused_drawing]
```
`unused_drawing` was not properly removed, as it is expected.
NOTE: Added an extra assert on (presumably) expected conditions of the
drawing indices and drawings array at the end of the process.

Catch any exception from the JSON parser and handle it by returning a
null value from the deserialization function. Let the asset indexer
regenerate the index file to handle the error.
At least for the asset index case we don't care about the exact parsing
error, so this simple error handling strategy is fine. Should more
precise error reporting be necessary for other use-cases this can be
added still, but I think these errors are usually a bit too low level to
expose to users.

Similar to other bugs caused by ada367a0e9 (e.g.

tagged for changes before retrieving its evaluated state.
I can't say I fully understand the all the code path for the object conversion
already. However, the change seems to make sense based on the `/* other users

further down in my test anyway.

First this make the wire batch use the same set of drawing that the main
gpencil batch uses (as they share the same VBO data, they need to use
the same drawings).
Then we skip drawing the onion frames by nullifying the indices in the
index buffer. A better way would be to skip these strokes or drawing
but that can be done later and seems more bug prone.

The issue was that the masks for the current frame would be

Unfortunately, we can't easily render masks for the onion
skinned frames correctly at the moment.
