    1. quick smoke-testing of new build looks good (Nicolas)

Julius

  • Sidebar concerns:

    • lots of negative feedback here still.

    • Darshan fixed this for three cases – but we have 2x cases more where the Nextcloud sidebar shows up by default; particularly for internal shared link.

    • There is an explicit open-sidebar call after we close; it gets closed, and re-opened for internal links – hunting this down (Darshan)

      • gave a stack-trace to Julius, and trying to work out why it doesn’t close.

    • Preferred – generally disable it – design team decided against it.

      • In all places where the viewer opens; we have the sharing sidebar showing up.

      • Need a way in richdocuments to prevent that.

      • Other apps installed that could influence timing of calls.

        • Pedro will get a list of apps installed to help reproduce it locally.

  • Open in new tab by default (?)

    • UX testing feedback tells us that files in new tabs is a serious issue

    • AI: share feedback with Julius (Pedro)

    • Google opens in a new tab by default (Nicolas)

    • A website that is an application: a “file explorer” (Pedro)

      • user expects, the file opens – something new happens.

    • May be needed inside the Nextcloud server – not in richdocuments (Julius)

  • Probably follow up release with still pending fixes next week

  • WASM

  • Calc Performance: cells with lengthily text

    • Improvement was merged

  • First beta of richdocuments for upcoming Nextcloud 28 was released, nothing fancy just compatibility changes to adapt to upstream refactoring of our files app

Nicolas

  • Checked the LanguageTool integration (in desktop) and filled some remaining issues

  • Has some impact on spell/grammar checker in online too

    • reported the findings; lets see what happens.

    • Will poke Miklos (Michael)

Cosmin

  • Found some broken help buttons in 22.05 and opened issue 7596.

  • Trying to debug some rare and random errors occurring in prod.
