Sahil
- Multipage-view - Writer - Comment Box Remains Fixed at Top When Scrolling
- fixed with <https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/2913>, just that the CI is taking so long, it's taking ages to get anything in as some tests fail locally but not on the CI, so CI is the source of truth.
- in this case, scrolling_spec.js fails, but it passes locally..
- Impress: More efficient positioning of the displayed page + comments
- impress dynamic zoom <https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/2964>
- fixed a lot of tests, finally no cypress test fails
- asked Szymon to review
- iterations have been slow because of CI load, and I wonder why i am not getting emails for build failures when i manually trigger them.
- Writer: resizing tables cells icon in menu
- investigated, put together at patch which adds the UI to the notebookbar, need to syncronize that with the sidebar.

Attila
Updated the Mac-safari-print fix PR: https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/2645/3 CI was green but now it red again.. It seems the problem was that the MAC print dialog make a snapshot from the frame to print, when we open the dialog. It was not enough to wait while the iframe loaded the document … if it was not painted then the snapshot was made from an empty page. I did not found any event to see when will the frame painted fully… but if i wait for the next paint cycle, it seemed ok. To be sure I wait for 2 paint now
Started to work on the thumnails loading problem.
