Changed

  • The source box is always editable. Text captured from another app used to
    arrive read-only, and editing it meant reaching for a pencil button in the pane's
    footer first. The box is now a plain editor whatever the text came from: a click
    puts the caret where it lands, and looking one word up and typing the next no
    longer costs a trip to the footer.
  • The translator's controls moved into the chrome they belong to. The strip that
    held the action tabs and both language pickers above the split is gone. The tabs
    sit beside the section title in the top bar, each language picker sits in the
    header of the pane it describes with the swap button between them, and Collect and
    Copy sit in the result header — leaving the foot of that pane to the follow-up
    question alone.

Fixed

  • Editing captured text now drops the sentence that was captured around it. A word
    typed over a selection was still translated against the surrounding sentence of the
    previous selection.
  • The language and action pickers draw their own fill, border, and trailing chevron.
    The menu style they used handed the label to an AppKit cell that kept the text and
    discarded the rest, then drew the indicator on the wrong edge.

The app is signed but not notarized, so the first launch after downloading needs a right-click → Open.
