Skyler

- https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/15062 → just got review from Gokay

- was an approval but had a few comments that I want to check out before merging…

- is a patch to improve comment positioning

- big improvements on mobile with onscreen keyboard popups

- also nice to have on computers with scrolling in writer, say

- does not affect calc, which positions comments differently anyway

Sahil

  • - Using the Lock feature in an AutoFilter with dates causes a crash - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167395 - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/201097 (and other patches in the relation chain) attempt to fix it. still working on it. - finding "which checkbox is checked" in a date hierarchy and mapping that to the array of members is the first big problem. second challenge is to reflect user actions in the dropdown (with code sharing). - it works for the most part with some edge cases which i am addressing at the moment.
