# Mike

- tdf#170961 — [Basic-IDE Dialog] Changing dialog properties may cause the form to become invisible or unresponsive
  - A regression after regression after deadlock fixes.
  - Underlying issue is - doing UI from a worked thread!
  - Several separate issues (deadlocks from different mutexes, and also missing window invalidations)
  - Done

# Tomaz

Calc: Pre-View Spreadsheet Filtering

- Insert and delete rows / columns - undo/redo
  - need to modify the sort data
  - store sort data in undo

- Handle extending of auto-filter when you write at one row below the auto-filter
  - sync to other sheet views
  - extend the range in sort data, as well as order extending
  - need to handle undo/redo - capture sort data

- Simplified and de-duplicated certain things
- Up-porting to 26.04 - more than 100 patches
  - porting done, need to make sure there are no bugs specific to 26.04

- Most important things are now done
  - needs a lot of testing
  - look into if something has been missed
  - sync for some missing operation in background
