- rejig timer for slurp, cypress tests fall over though
- ResizeObserver does appear as a theme in these things
- add a patch to explain BadArgumentException better on seeing  
some of these in logs

# Mike

- DOCX rendering issues  
\*\* Working on 3) Tables are cut off on the left hand side  
\*\*\* Border element handler sets all attributes, including those that aren’t set in the element - needs optional setting  
\*\*\* But Word actually ignores the paragraph attributes in parent table style! So inheritance needs tweaking  
\*\*\* Additionally, the paragraph attributes must not convert into cell attributes!  
\*\*\* Maybe we must split cell attributes from things like PROP\_BOTTOM\_BORDER in sw/source/writerfilter/dmapper/PropertyIds.hxx  
\*\*\* Created several reproducers  
\*\*\* Working on a patch
- Assistance Functionalities: Tables: Add notes to slides should be possible  
\*\* Added a button for notes view  
\*\* It renders, but no interaction  
\*\* Debugging
- Calc: Chart labels not or partially shown (TDF#161222)  
\*\* Aron provided a workaround patch  
\*\* It is actually the awaited problem, which we had discussed with Miklos, that it was unclear why other backends were unaffected…  
\*\* Debugging  
\*\* This seems to not be a problem of wrong scaling  
\*\* The text gets wrong starting point  
\*\*\* Hundreds of pixels!  
\*\* Comparing with and without the scale correction  
\*\* The starting point coordinates looks unchanged, and the scale is only slightly changed (must not give that much a difference)  
\*\* Checking the numbers in the whole call stack  
\*\* Can’t find a point where the seemingly correct coordinates become wrong  
\*\* Using watchpoints, and printing the values, looks legit all the time  
\*\* Stuck  
\*\* Fall back to the workaround  
\*\* [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/168041](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/168041)  
\*\* Created backports to libreoffice-24-2, and co-24.04
- Assistance Functionalities: Tables: Add notes to slides should be possible  
\*\* Back to it  
\*\* The problem is in FuDraw::MouseButtonDown  
\*\*\* aMDPos = mpWindow-\>PixelToLogic( rMEvt.GetPosPixel() );  
\*\* The aMDPos gets wrong value, thus later it doesn’t match coordinates of objects → mouse clicks don’t match the objects  
\*\* Compared to normal view: in normal view, the window MapMode has mbMap set to false  
\*\* Trying to find where it is set to false (or to true in notes view?)  
\*\* Trying to read commit logs (where was Master View introduced in LOK?)  
\*\* Seeing that having a parallel session in normal view: a selection in normal view is shown as “other user selection” frame indication in the notes view - needs something to disambiguate
