# Mike

- Tested and estimated Deadlock while accessing CLSID Property of OLEs
- Failed to repro LibreOffice crash while setting FrameStyleName
  - Asked for more information
  - Got a call stack - I can use it to blind-fix (handle exception in SwView::ImpSetVerb)

- “File crashes collabora/libre on save” regression after MS formats export refactor
  - fixed

- Table content not displaying in LO 7.5 but visible in LO 7.6
  - A series of changes after the previous fix
  - It seems it opened a can of worms
  - Backported them

- “crashing on particular text copy (tdf#162398)” Another regression
  - [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/171642](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/171642)

- Upstream: tdf#162426 - HTML export related
  - [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/171722](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/171722)

- Crash on load - text box in table column 2
  - It still looks puzzling; I don’t find an easy way to avoid creation of fly frames, which would not break things left and right

# Tomaz

slideshow presentation

- Video playback fixes
  - unmute sound
  - stop rendering when changing the slide

- Testing the sldieshow
- VCL / Drawinglayer slide rendering
  - separate master and slide rendering, and render them separately
  - fight to get the master background only rendered in the master slide and not in the actual slide
    - needed a new bool variable to disable background rendering

  - search for “fields” in a master and render them to a separate layer (if needed)
    - those can vary from slide to slide so those need to be rendered separately

  - finding which objects are animated
