Jan 1, 2026January 2026 focused on stabilizing core UX, delivering cross-component improvements, and strengthening test reliability across the Calcite design system. Key work includes dropdown top-layer UX enhancements with a new topLayerDisabled prop and related CSS refactors to ensure consistent visuals across alerts, autocomplete, combobox, dropdown, input-date-picker, popover, and tooltip; a top-layer placement stability fix when reconnecting an open component; porting the focusable common test helper to the test suite; stabilizing Floating UI tests to reduce font-rendering false positives; and a performance optimization for combobox rendering by dropping redundant repositioning after each render. In addition, RTL-related UI fixes (input-date-picker trailing border in vertical RTL) and readOnly nudging fixes for input and input-number were addressed, along with maintenance tasks such as docs path updates and dependency/lockfile upkeep. This combination reduces visual glitches, improves accessibility testing, accelerates UI rendering, and strengthens the project’s overall stability and maintainability.
