  • Antranig Vartanian

    • Wants to contribute any FreeBSD work

    • Andras Timar: Another contributor was working on that → Gleb P. was the community maintainer

    • Antranig: it seems the image you were using was removed from Cirrus community

      • So we ended up disabling the Cirrus CI (FreeBSD) because the service was broken

      • I have talked with them and it seems they are using the Google cloud platform. But this means that every time we have a new version we need to wait for Google’s approval

    • Forum discussion :

  • Gabriel

  • Working now on something related to CSV and probably will backport it but I’m waiting for some feedback → https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/165905

    • this was mostly useful for converting CSV → PDF – because separators were not found

    • idea was to detect automatically at conversion.

    • First patch – adds character-set and separator settings

      • can use these when you pass the filter parameters.

      • Instead of separator & character set put ‘detect’

    • Would be nice to use it in the import dialog.

  • Would love to help out with design for serializing settings (Michael)

  • Julius

  • Getting much more frequent races causing a download of the file … when clicked. (Michael)

    • seems like a richdocuments / Nextcloud race… perhaps more plugins installed …

    • now have draw.io/BPMN/etc. etc. in the list here … probably related to this.

    • Finally have a reproducer on our instance

    • Seems the viewer API has a design flaw in that regard

    • Our files engineering-team is looking into having a work around

  • Small bugfix release of richdocuments later (probably today)

    • branding customization fix for logo

    • iframe accessibility

    • Fix issue where files were locked during preview generation with network timeouts which could have lead to failed saves

    • core: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/172589 → uploaded patchset 2, done, but we may have small updates on popup location → reviewers Szymon and Caolan

    • created Control.AutoFillPreviewTooltip.ts → working on the popup and trying to fix some issues like popup location etc… also it’s currently blocking the mouse move when using auto-fill (blocking the auto-fill itself)

    • Hoping to release this week – have builds which are being tested at the moment … fixes various bugs including a JSDialog issue and some dark theme issues so even though I haven’t been able to reproduce a calc scrolling bug it’s well worth not blocking forever

  • Build instructions

  • Other bits

  • Pranam

    • Calc formula tooltips now available in each users language (earlier it was based on language of the first user who loaded the document) → tested today, it works!

    • Various improvements for dark/light theme text in calc when font has automatic colors → let’s test this today

    • Fixed resolved comments would have highlighted on reload even if resolved comments are hidden.

  • Gökay

Continues:

  • Various bug fixes.

  • Gulsah

  • Mobile invert background item has not status checkmark

  • Automatic color text inserted on white background slide not visible in Dark mode

  • Hyperlink preview glitch - https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/9013

    • Reproducable. Problem is other user’s action invalidates all user’s cursor. So if the cursor is on hyperlink, closes and opens hyperlink preview dialog on every key stroke.

    • Need to prevent unnecessary cursor invalidation. Debugging…
