- Working on (Impress) multiline field wrapping breaks rendering of links
154248 – FILEOPEN PPTX: multiline field wrapping breaks rendering of links (and font changes)
Made a PR: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/162503
It need some testing, because it is a bit risky as it is a core feature and effect a lot of things, found a lot of problems before my patch, I fixed a few, but there is a probability that I made worse some, that I did not even found. - Next I will check a macOS keyboard shortcut issue… and a pptx issue:
140912 – FILEOPEN PPTX: extra image and text label "insert image" appears (even in presentation mode)
- Working on (Impress) multiline field wrapping breaks rendering of links

- Child popup in auto-filter always comes to a fix place on screen ( on left side in middle of the screen ). it should not behave like this. Child-pop-ups should be positioned according to parent position. Set child popup position for autofilter by Darshan-upadhyay1110 · Pull Request #8008 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub => Merged
- Modify freeze columns and row style for better user experience #8050 => Merged
- Close auto-filter pop overs when click or change the sheet tab #8059 => In Review
- Calc: Freeze pane lines (dividers) add visual hint for when there are covered cells #8077 => In Review
- Freeze column and row options are not consistent in notebook bar and in compact view. Plus need to do some enhancement by adding this option into context menu in Calc sheet => WIP
- Strange option
Separatoris added to widgetTree view of auto-filter. This case also needs to be handled from core side. As the Separator is not an entity it is just a visual representation. => Will start next

Skyler
- android bugs
- working on pdf saving, it’s an important blocker so pretty much all of my time is going into this
- seems to be a very similar issue to the iOS version (from errors) however the iOS fix does not work by itself… I’m investigating our PDF export (both fast and with options) to find the differences.

Overwrite follow up PR of configurable override mode
- Fixed: Disable overwrite mode in experimantal mode automatically. by GulsahKose · Pull Request #7614 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub → to review

-
Calc: Conditional formatting dialog title is too large
-
Calc: Columns and rows are not activated on mouseDown
- 0.34 sec to complete for each column selection. Problem is not exist in core because mousebuttondown is handling quickly there. In online we send uno commands for each selected column. Discussed with szymon and he thinks we should keep the uno command and find a way to speed up that method.
- Currently we send several uno commad call and getting one big reply for it. If we send additional uno commad before getting reply, it prevents to get first command’s reply, that is one of the reason of delay. So I’m trying to separate replies for each command.
