# Gabriel

- Started to working on a new issue (found in 21.x version): It seems multiple savings (in unmodified documents) in between very short chunks of time (seconds)
- Aron: how do you monitor the status of the document? Is the save icon button showing that is saved? Sometimes we save due to stuff happening on the core side (even if there is no user modification); Gabriel: don’t know this was reported as in “documents are identical”
  - It’s quite old version. I can check it quickly to see if there is any obvious cause.

- AI for Gabriel: Create a ticket with this info and maybe worth to mention Ash there.

Now working on this following Quikee code pointer → When we have auto layout somehow position and size is decided for the plot area → needs to find where this is happening. → Have a working solution but one test is not passing: 143179: Use same plot area distance with Microsoft Office → fixed but tests need to be updated. AI: Ping Quikee → Pedro: pinged Quikee, he will check the tests. Thanks
    - Chart: Tests updated , already pushed and now waiting.

# Design bits (Pedro and others)

- Symon: Now new JSDialog type to be used for all warning dialogs. We can use to replace vex dialogs of these type. Now being used for hyperlink “leaving the editor” dialog (former vex dialog). The plan here is to start to replace vex dialogs one by one sequentially (so it’s better for QA/testing and less prone to regressions)

- Bibliography icons, layout merged
