- Michael / Caolan – Performance
  - Performance improvements for comments in spreadsheets → now merged:
    - [cool#6911 calc comment positions are now cell addresses by caolanm · Pull Request #6988 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/6988)
    - [Draw calc note indicator browser side by caolanm · Pull Request #7001 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7001)
    - loading quicker which is nice … propagated from different sheets.

  - Did some work on export performance improvement

- Testing results:
  - a hang when typing quickly, we get a problem each 10 characters
    - was excess logging to the journal – now configured off …

  - Caolan seeing dark-mode tiles from time to time …
  - debugged it – something – fix did not get merged.
    - **AI:** get this semi-revert merged ASAP (Caolan)

  - Found some good problems from calc:
    - [24.04/23.05 Generic Calc performance ticket · Issue #6893 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/6893) – getTextSelection
      - may be a red-herring.

  - Lots of logging churning on the console → disabled th
  - is and started re-profiling.
    - “Aug 24 10:33:57 cp-staging-eu-perf coolwsd[14198]: wsd-14198-14259 2023-08-24 10:33:57.905319 +0000 [docbroker\_001] WRN Client session [06c] not found to forward message: o31003 invalidatetiles: part=0 x=5740 y=39145 width=5315 height=316 wid=6757| wsd/DocumentBroker.cpp:3625”
      - Expecting this is the same as dark-mode – view-ids out of sync by one.
      - Paris – needs to look at this as a blocker:
      - **AI:** Anna to chase – Paris should server-side enforce canonical viewid and not listen to the client (Anna)

  - Presentation starting – accelerated this (Timur)
    - still – with a large presentation – can take too long.
    - **AI:** can we have a progress bar ticket filed (Caolan)
    - And switch the ticket to enhancement to speed things up.

  - Committed a speedup calc – to avoid loading images & re-laying out framework bits per user-switch while typing eg.
  - Partial awesomeness on AVX2 acceleration of RLE stuff:
    - private/mmeeks/simd → built a LUT – suspect it suffers from endianness problems.
    - private/caolanm/avx2\_experiment bitmask generation experiment

- Skyler
  - Busy with using UNO with websocket
    - [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154680](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154680)
    - Caolan is taking this over for now.

- Timur
  - Lots of tickets to test … on Android app, reporting bugs for COOL app to TDF bugzilla – cleaning this up a bit.
    - What failed in 6.4 is now working nicely in 21 and 23.05
    - Some using LibreOffice Viewer for 7.6 alpha …
    - F-Droid: they should just side-load our APKs, there is an additional android repo. 21.11 is the latest there, and snapshot is 6.4 …
      - **AI:** look at updating the snapshot repo there from the Jenkins job (Andras)

- Mike D
  - [Some Words in Long "Right-Click Suggestions" List Get Cut Off · Issue #7155 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/7155)
    - Right-Clicking misspelled word sometimes gets cut off.

  - [Right-Clicking Misspelled Word Twice = Cut/Copy/Paste Instead of Spelling Suggestions · Issue #7159 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/7159)
    - Right-Clicking misspelled word multiple times acts oddly.

  - Caught an alignment issue in **Insert \> Symbol**.
    - (Will submit issue later.)

- Gokay
  - User happy with keybindings in Calc & Impress in the forum
  - Working on comment replies – will be able to separate these from other comments when created at the same position
    - currently if at the same word they look like replies – will be more user-friendly.

## Forum (Mike D)

These were the key topics:

- Topic 1: Insert Barcodes (or “Barcode Fonts”) Support?
