- experiment with check-desktop-mobile-multi, 20 minute full  
cypress run, but then over an hour with load, curious, faster than  
current targets with light load, worse with higher.

# Mike

- “PPTX 1st page background missing on open and after save”

- handling of empty-argument comment insertion from PostMessage; CSP for comment\_avatar

Calc: Pre-View Spreadsheet Filtering

- Fixing issues with sheet view invalidation
  - Patch is merged

- Issue when the user gets thrown into “Default view” if another user creates a new sheet view
  - Not obvious what’s wrong - still investigating
  - Somewhere there must be a command to change the sheet

- TODO: backport to 25.04
  - Partially done..

Vector rendering for online:

- Adding more primitives to client rendering
- Test - engine creates test reference JSON files, client tests the rendering with those
- Added JsonPath - similar usage to XPath for XML
  - makes tests more sueful

- Mocha tests that work on an COOL instance (like cypress)
  - Can run commands, so we can use that to trigger UNO command to vector primitive tree
  - Surely useful for other testing as well
  - But currently not decided to go that route - I have a patch however

- Got patches for most polypolygon primitives
  - Needed to get the testing groundwork done, so now it will go faster

Carlito Font issue:

- In process: Calc EditEng migrator for cells
  - There is no flag here for font independent line spacing, so need to create one
  - Need to code review this
  - Next charts
