## CI **(Pedro)**

- Review process in github – brought new things …
  - Szymon and Ash improved cypress reliability
  - sometimes review takes longer than we expect
  - buts more focus on CI breakage

- npm / json issue biting us on Ubuntu 20.03
  - saw more people poking this on IRC
  - solution – still not definitive.
    - removed NPM completely, and then it worked …

  - wait for Alexandro – perhaps next meeting; will ping him.

### **GitHub Issues**

Enable Save As feature that would if necessary ask and convert to the desired format ( example VSD, VSDX,)

- now done in two places for COOL + Android

Scrollbars (document vs sidebar)

- [GitHub · Where software is built](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/3725)
  - We need to check if one of those scrollbars is getting default css styles from browser (appearance)
  - **Update** : now assigned to Pedro

### Design bits (Pedro)

- Fixes top menu on classic mode
- Fix sidebar element on Draw
- Fix document has been changed dialog layour and also fix it on mobile plus add missing button
- Also other long term low prio stuff enter such as new forum icon
- More PR’s waiting to be merged – better handling of empty screens on mobile, also fix for highlighting etc
  - Tested & merged a PR around units on the sidebar (Pedro)
    - now inside the items themselves instead of outside.

- Updated forum icon (Andreas K.)
- More CSS Vars and nice cosmetic fixes (Andreas K.)
  - simplified repeated colors
  - some additional things – contextual bits on mobile.
  - WIP – bits on color drop-downs …
    - need to absorb theme colors soon too (Michael)

## Schedule & update ( **Gokay** )

- New CODE 21.11 release today (and an RC for COOL 21.11)
- Another next week, and in the third week a final release

## **a11y bits (Gokay)**

- Fixes around duplicate ids on HTML elements from Szymon
- improved keyboard handling in JS-dialogs – have the default button & focus is kept in input fields when we are using the default action.
  - In find & replace – important to keep it in the dialog – not jump to document in the search.

## **W** hat we’re up to (Szymon)

- Fixed opening of zero byte ODS files → opened in calc
- Debugging another two bugs
  - related to paragraphs in writer, to keep correct style after new paragraph
  - then RTL of tunnelled dialogs
    - had a call with Szymon/Gokay – to try this …
    - three or four duplicate ‘mirroring’ settings (Michael)
      - hard to find – works in DT office (Szymon)
      - in ‘paint’ – we have a special code-path for LOK case.
        - Missing some of the settings.

- Lots of bug-fixing (Gokay)
  - cell selections, deletions of entire pages performance
  - opening files on NC – could do it with the wrong UI

- Lots of testing.
- Delta work ongoing & fun in private/mmeeks/deltas (Michael)

## Header area ( **Pedro)**

- Jan commented in the PR – everyone is happy with the contextual bar on desktop
  - but needs to be instantaneous – no un-necessary animations going on.

## Testing iOS (Nicolas)

- Testing all the existing bugs vs. the new iOS release
- trying to migrate tickets to gitlab
  - release is quite good
  - looking forward to new release …

- Improvements in other areas help for iOS stuff, working reliably.
