# Skyler- Mobile Release schedule

# Skyler

# Sahil

- [https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/14219](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/14219) (merged) - Now the dynamic zoom is recalculated when the sidebar shows up for the first time. This way it doesn't cover the right half of the document.
- Now working on Windows Theming Issues & while it compiles, looking at Comments regressions.

  - Unknowingly Clogged the CI with 30+ backport patches, sorry :\_). Reverted those changes as a) theyintroduced new strings and b) they were big changes, quite risky to push near a release. 

# 

- Remove initial selection styling in View Mode dropdown ([In Review](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/14231))
- Intially we had planned to remove the selection but due to accessibilty this breaks keyboard navigation. So now the plan is to add a style to the selected/active mode
- Writer: Shorten label to “Compare Document...” in Compare menu ([Approved](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/14255))
- Now: creating new table style icons

Banobe

  - Did some changes on patch then merged.

- DOCX: gap not presereved 

  - I found the reason of the buggy behaviour
  - Planned changes in d092521b2595963dcf0928f5fee7ed1903ff4aef caused the bug
  - I’m investigating what happens when I revert partially. Unfortunately there is no clue in the commit what was the issue before
  - There is a problem to run tests locally. And tests are a little bit slow on my local. Lets see.

## Multiline hyprlink cursor position fix:

- Found a way to alter cursor positions in edit engine.. it seems to work now .. bur not made PR yet.
- There are other glitches around this (like selecting it, or bigger font after hypelink), because it is a partially implemented feature (not a real regression), inside of a hack .. multiline hyperlinks was never supported on edit mode, in editengine .. there was a hack in the paint .. that was moved the hyperlink into a new line.. But the algorithm normally supports wapping text into lines.. where a hyperlink is not a text but 1 symbol, so it cannot even store it as multiline.. A real fix for the whole area would require a big re-implementation (adding support for multi lines into lines), or a smaller but still huge refactor (replacing hyperlink symbols with text).

## Fixed some chart style CI problems (there are still a few but they can wait.)

# Darshan

Consider the custom logo for loading spinner:

[https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/14248](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/14248)

- logoURL parameter enables users to override the default logo with their own branding.
- As an enhancement, the same&nbsp;logoURL&nbsp;should be applied to the loading spinner.
- If a custom&nbsp;logoURL&nbsp;is provided, the loading spinner should use it instead of the default logo.
- If no&nbsp;logoURL&nbsp;is set, the spinner should fall back to the default logo.
