    • Browser Accessibility on Form elements (in Progress)

      - Fixed for elements with more than 2 cols, tested this on dailogs (Paragraph, Character, Page, sidebar)

      - Now Fixing for cols that are more than 3.

      - Some elements are set with (grid-auto-column) so these are still misaligned but will get done today

      - Also writing some custom css for other elements as adjusting the grid cols doesn’t completely fix them.

    • Dark-mode and Light mode backgrounds are not syncing well in document canvas (In progress)

      - Still going through some changes from Core about document canvas

  • Attila

  • Extended Chart Styles: working on making chart text formatting from sidebar.
    Made the remaining possible buttons work. (grow/shrink/clear format … some formats seems not supported by chart texts like subscript/superscript,Spacing,Highlight. But maybe they will be needed in title case)
    Made formatting work on titles also, if it is not edited .. if title is edited then it is replaced with a temporal editbox or something like that. (I still have to find that textbox and format the text there)
    Found that Color not needed to update in sidebar so it is ok now.
    Still have to find why some combobox selection not work, and have to make sure the panel appears only if the chart element have text like element. (legends, labels, axis, titles)
