Found the (easy) cause of a single keyboard shortcut issue/regression on Desktop, caused by a COOL commit.
Gökay will patch that. -
Dived into presentations/templates (weeks ago) trying to understand the cascading of styles and DF, which is ‘more interesting’ than e.g. Writer. Helps to clean up stuff. Later will look into my macro’s (from previous work) for cleaning/standardizing existing slides.
