    🛠 Bugfixes:

    • 🏁 We fixed a regression in 3.5.0 where Cypress would crash on Windows when trying to pass a url through --config or --env command line flags. Fixes #5466.
    • 💻 We fixed a regression in 3.5.0 where a supplied Cookie header during "cy.visit() visit or cy.request() would be overwritten by the Cookie header generated from the browser's cookie store. Fixes #5894.
    • 🛠 We fixed a regression in 3.5.0 where cy.getCookie() would incorrectly filter cookies by their domain, leading to unexpected results. Fixes #5656.
    • 🛠 We fixed a regression in 3.5.0 where calling .type({ force: true }) on hidden inputs would not type the correct characters. Fixes #5835.
    • 🛠 We fixed a regression in 3.5.0 where .type() was not respecting previous selections if the current value of the input was the same as the key. This also fixed an where .type() would not respect previous selections in non-selectionRange inputs (like email or number inputs). Fixes #5703.
    • 🛠 During visibility checks, Cypress now properly evaluates a DOM element transformed by scale(0) or rotateY(90deg) as not visible. Fixes #723.
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug where the specs list in interactive mode would not refresh when files are changed on disk. Fixes #5933.
    • 🔧 env configuration option displays properly within the settings panel. Previously, setting env options would incorrectly render "undefined" as the value. Fixes #5859.
