online: formulabar optimization #7607
- [https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7607](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7607) (merged)
-
-
Now when online crashes the document saves (quarantine now has the document in it)
-
But we are still not always getting the files, but log claims saved successfully
- current theory is that is it removed by a later session for document with same content? - Another report on this topic backs up this theory.
-
-
-
Testing results:
-
Dark mode now working nicely.
-
Found some good problems from calc:
-
https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/6893 – getTextSelection
- may be a red-herring.
-
-
Presentation starting – accelerated this (Timur)
- progress bar ticket is filed.
-
-
Bayram
-
make Move/Copy sheet dialog async: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/158078
-
under review and testing: https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/7354
-
trying to fix a tab switching issue
-
-
https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/7369- Calc: grouping doesn’t work #7369
-
Group types: row or column groups
-
double clicking on a group’s tail closes the groups correctly - on the row and column groups.
-
issues in group control boxes (boxes with plus / minus symbols):
- column groups: only the top-parent control box is responsive to the click. - row groups: hidden child control boxes are still clickable
-
-
drag&drop zone is tiny : Calc
-
seems height of the drop zone is shorter than the height of the sheet tabs
-
we can increase the height (and maybe width) of the drop zone.
-
will open a phab. ticket for this (seems there is none)
-
-
-
Skyler
-
Webkit video position
-
Done some investigation of presentation mode
- Transform appears to be a constant plus a scaling of the x/y of the video - Unfortunately the constant is different per-device - Preliminary PR, unfortunately only supports a specific device (my mac): [https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7618](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7618)
-
-
Tablet mode issues
-
Lots of work on tablets that aren’t detected as tablets, particularly windows tablets/laptops with touchscreens/convertible devices
- [https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7580](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7580) - [https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7610](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7610) - [https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7623](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7623) - (specifically enlarging touchscreen detection and fixing some keyboard issues in calc)
-
Have lots of hardware to test on now, so CC me in to touchscreen stuff
-
-
-
Timur
-
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, CTRL+V sometimes doesn’t work on Calc with multiple users – in progress
Dark mode in progress
-
Copy change merged, in test:
-
Focus on the comments, few fixes already:
-
-
Pranam
-
Currently working on copy paste improvement
-
When we select a cell (without entering cell edit mode) and copy something from a cell (with formula), pasting it outside of COOL formula gets pasted and not just the end result output.
-
Michael: Yes, if we select a cell I would expect to see the end result output and not the formula
-
-
New cypress test for autosaved comment s
-
-
Gökay
-
Dictionary tool bug.
-
It shows the red lines in wrong places.
- Have a fix but needs some more work. → Done. - Also a pending (in review) PR for non-visible suggestions. - There is another fix to work on now. Ignore all is not working when language tool is enabled.
-
-
Column selections – Calc:
-
When a user selects a column and other user deletes one column at the left of the first user’s selected column, it crashes. Same for additions.
- Fixed the first thing but there is more there. - Current code doesn’t take multiple deletions into account. Also there may be multiple additions when multiple columns are pasted at the left of the selected columns.
-
All done.
-
-
Worked on copy hyperlink issue.
-
Will continue with Ignore All bug and other Online issues.

PostMessage: Fixing some of the things that don’t work
-
Tabbed UI support https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/7517
- Hide and show buttons etc [https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7589](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7589) (open) need rework - In progress: hide and show commands postmessage: it’s complicated
-
-
Other fixes for configuring UI:
-
Allow ignoring saved state https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7575 (merged) because you can’t force to always hide if the user showed it.
-
Hide the toolbar (classic only) https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/7627 (merged)
