Dark mode
- Andreas K. has been helping here
- Multiple PRs got merged. Example invisible border dropdown got fixed
- also an interesting discussion WRT paragraph styles: style previews white background · Issue #4727 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub , probably good to keep them with white background for now.
- Darshan fixes the changing to dark mode would switch active tab

- a11y fixes:

- Improved unit test robustness.
- Found some good problems from calc:
- calc performance with large selections - copy/paste · Issue #6893 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub – getTextSelection nightmare which we try to do on keypresss – consumign cast memory & time.
- calc performance - getting tiled rendering area · Issue #6894 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub – wrestling with tons of time spent checking the spreadsheet tiled area on each tile render.
