  • Improvements for the LanguageTool integration

    • Started
    • A regression fixed, that broke LanguageTool server in 7.6 and 7.5.4
    • Double-tested that if read literally, the request to provide suggestions
      for language variants works (all Spanish variants not directly handled by LT
      are handled by generic ‘es’ fallback)
    • On the other hand, there is no way to fine-control LanguageTool for such
      languages in the Edit Modules dialog
      • This is by design, because the language list there is built based on the
        languages reported by the language modules; and e.g. when there’s no Hunspell
        dictionaries, the list will not contain different Spanish variants - only
        those provided directly by LanguageTool
      • Hence, how should we configure such languages?
      • Started improving the language list - deduplication, sorting,… -
        possibly then it would be possible to use grouping?

  • Upstream

    • Fixed several own regressions

  • Fixed dark mode bug where dragging a graphic around would sometimes generate
    bad deltas - this was because the copy commands would sometimes be merged even
    when the copy would reach outside the bounds of the first tile.
  • Still working on other dark mode bugs, namely:
    • Draw/Impress preview seems to not work correctly with dark mode
    • Draw/Impress edit engine seems to not work correctly with dark mode
    • Calc row/column headers seem to be the wrong color when swapping modes -
      may be js related
    • Writer spell online view separation is untested and maybe not working

Tomaz

Add basic interoperable document theming to Calc & Writer

  • Most patches in co-23.05
    • ODF name changes are in
  • Color picker now properly creates variants
  • Theme color palette callback for COOL
    • sends the theme color palette when it changes
    • also when the view is registered so the client should always have the
      latest theme color palette available
      • idea is that the client stores the palette locally so no need to send
        anything when the color picker is opened
  • Various bug fixes and re-factorings
  • Some new properties are now color theme-able
    • WIP
