# 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. [done]

  - 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. [done]

  - **Found the lingering problem: fix: Avoid triggering a deferred sidebar open if openFile is already handling that #41636: [[stable27] fix: Avoid triggering a defered sidebar open if openFile is already handling that by juliusknorr · Pull Request #41636 · nextcloud/server · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/41636)**
    - **It’s against Nextcloud 27, richdocuments 8.2.3**
    - **Not merged yet, but already approved**

- 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
  - Full screen fix, merged
  - Prevent automatic logout while editing, still pending
    - Collabora Online patch got in and was released ([Making sure you're not a bot!](https://sdk.collaboraonline.com/docs/postmessage_api.html#get-user-state) ); Richdocuments patch still in the works

- WASM
  - [WASM headers for online · Issue #3258 · nextcloud/richdocuments · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/issues/3258)
    - Pull-request is in a test-able state; can see if there are more missing things.
    - **AI:** add a setting in the capabilities to say “WASM enabled” (Ash)

- 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

- Nothing of relevance; in listening mode.

# Online activity

- Bugs caught during this meeting
  - Hyperlink preview glitching (keeps flickering). Check the web console, we keep receiving the same postmessage over and over
    - Issue: **AI(Pedro): To file bug**

- Attila
  - working on Language change problems (sidebar, statusbar)  
[Calc: Sidebar Changes Language · Issue #7492 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/7492)  
tried to find a general fix, and tried to setView in a few places like at  
JSDialogNotifiIdle:invoke() .. but they not fixed the problem, but made some more.

Navigator was an exception, that localised text because of a ModifyChanged() and  
Broadcasted it to all Navigator Dialog.. (so it is not an idle/timet of the view)  
Debugged where exact localisation happens to find a shared point,  
found most of them.. they use Translate::get(…), they should be easy to fixed.  
But Panels Title do localisation elseway I just found it not long ago.  
childaccess.cxx .. getChild(“\*” + locale)

I will try to find some more general place to fix by setView, but for fallback, I can fix them more direcly.
