Scrivener 3.5.1

Scrivener for macOS

Scrivener for macOS Version 3.5.1 Literature & Latte 5 November, 2025 Scrivener 3.5.1 is a bug fix release for Scrivener 3.5, addressing the following issues:

• Updated app icon to be more like the older icon but using Liquid Glass, getting rid of the border.
• Fixed bug whereby split view dividers could be drawn in the wrong place in some circumstances.
• Fixed issue with headers and footers drawing inverted in the print preview panel.
• Fixed appearance of progress bars in the toolbar search field on macOS 26.
• Fixed bug whereby Quick Reference panels weren’t seen by the find panel, linguistic focus or image tools.
• Fixed bug whereby upon reloading a project, paragraphs with no style could take on the style from the paragraph above.
• Worked around an Apple bug in macOS 26 whereby a translucent bar covers up the top of the outline in full screen mode if the outline has a header bar and is in a window with a toolbar. (Apple bug ID#FB20651946). The workaround for this also restores legibility to outline headers when e.g. a dark background is set for the outliner in dark mode.
• Fixed bug whereby closing a split containing a comment that was being edited in the inspector would cause the text of the comment to stay visible in the inspector, and yet the comment change wouldn’t be saved.
• Fixed a drawing bug where text could seem to disappear below the line being edited in page view.
• Fixed bug whereby UI validation would stop working in windows that were closed and reopened, such as the Settings panel.
• In an attempt to further alleviate an ongoing trackpad scrolling lag, UI validation is now paused entirely during live scrolling.
