- do namespace unshare in two steps, it might help on  
some configurations  
 → [unshare in two steps by caolanm · Pull Request #13965 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/13965)
- a11y:
- fix a11y warnings for non-a11y-markup on previews to get  
dialog coverage extended
- tests are annoyingly somewhat unstable
- ci failing for a variety of reasons
  - disable a11y test for now
  - fix one of the unrelated ones
  - debug lighthouse test failure

- a11y + cypress
- debug unreliability
- fix new unrelated ci issue in autofilter test

- dig into a11y unreliability
  - start with an uno:ReportWhenIdle so we can wait for core to be  
‘idle’

# Chris

  - Getting up to speed with the current code / planning

# Tomaz

Text offset when moving a text box with content

- Reproduced the moving bullets
  - issue when scaled text box is used
  - created a min. reproducer for testing
  - looked how to directly access information in editeng to access information where bullet will be placed
  - issue is the difference between edit and view modes
    - using the same rendering for both would solve this but this is a large task
    - which means it doesn’t make sense to spend too much time to fix this, but better to spend time unifying rendering
    - (rendering using drawinglayer primitives)

- Searching where the difference comes from
  - checking where scaling is applied to bullets
  - interestingly the text is not affected - at least in this case
  - working to find the exact place

# Miklos

- [Unwanted anchor types for shapes in DOCX files · Issue #13945 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/13945)
