Issue (Nicolas)
-
an intermittent bug thought fixed, but not:
- there in online too:
- Online (and iOS): picture rotation not working in writer document · Issue #4289 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub
- focus can get stuck on image - so can’t edit text.
-
remember a similar problem (Szymon)
- some fixed in 21.11 - when doing optimizations
- not importing images, a doc that already has them.
- happens on latest TestFlight release
- Firefox on Linux, and/or Safari/Webkit
- will let us known as/when can reproduce it.
- may have reproduced (Pedro)
-
DeepL/LanguageTool integration (Nicolas)
- I think I sent a go to Miklos
- Adfinis and Nicolas are co-funding these awesome features, with our thanks.
- we should have real Grammar server integration
- and also some l10n bits as well.
-
want to shout-out to Tor & team for the great iOS app
