Attila
- hopefully finished: multiline field wrapping breaks rendering of links
154248 – FILEOPEN PPTX: multiline field wrapping breaks rendering of links (and font changes)
PR: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/162503
tested with several field types, and in writer too, fixed some problems, made test. - Checked macOS keyboard shortcut issues…
Cmd - Q/W/N/M, and Cmd - C/V (copy paste) seems to work
found a bit strange behaviour with Ctrl – Q and M - Checked a placeholder image problem, it seems it changed a bit and now it is
159258 – A picture placeholder with a background, imported from PPTX, is not shown when presenting
plan to work on this - Working on a bug: PPTX: text renders horizontally instead of vertically
151102 – FILEOPEN PPTX: text renders horizontally (and condensed) instead of vertically
I got a hacky idea to display the text in the bugdoc, as desired, but the text editing may wont work as we would like.
- hopefully finished: multiline field wrapping breaks rendering of links

PRs without reviewer … now 11

Szymon
- Fixed sidebar in 24.04
- Currency dropdown backport to 23.05
- Broken date format in XLSX after save
- broken files created with co-23.05-2-2
- after export wrong cell format is used (wrong id)
- we did a lot of improvements after 23.05-2-2 (theming, conditional formatting, some related style id fix)
- I discovered which actions were made in the files, comparing results, trying to reproduce wrong format export with 23.05-2-2

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

Bayram
- (In Progress): Bug (Enhancement) “Support Power Query in XLSX”
- Bugzilla: 158857 – Keep Power Query when saving XLSX
- installed windows 10, trying to reproduce the issue between calc – excel
- saved the document in excel and calc, investigated the files/folders that missed or files that changed.
- xl/connections.xml
- xl/queryTables/*
- xl/tables/_rels/*
- other files are exist, but changed.
- Next step will be investigating the code-base to find references of missing/changed streams and try to save/recover them. (using GrabBag)
