- UI improvements:
  - worked on thread UI, looked at popup and formatting

# Mike

- Table content hiding under footer
  - Fixed

- A problem of replacement graphic missing sometimes
  - They suggest blocking when it’s being generated
  - Found the problematic code (the replacement is cleared, then OLE calls are made, releasing the solar mutex, at which point, Java thread proceeds and gets the empty replacement: EmbeddedObjectRef::GetReplacement)
  - The idea is, to avoid clearing oGraphic - it seems unnecessary for taking graphic stream
  - Needs testing
  - Estimation done

# Tomaz

New online slideshow presentation

- Bug fixes and testing to get the slideshow into release
  - Missing buttons in the transition
    - Figuring what’s wrong
    - Thought that the issue is the missing OpenGLTransitionFactory
    - Found out the issue is that OpenGL transitions (3D transitions) were not added into the registry if ENABLE\_OPENGL\_TRANSITIONS is true
    - This is not true in online - OpenGL on the server is not a relevant condition

- VCL / Drawinglayer slide rendering
  - Working to render text box object paragraphs rendered each in its own layer
    - each paragraph in a layer only

- searching for a way to hide paragraphs and then re-render the object for each paragraph
  - alternatively render object and get the information where the paragraphs are located, then remove other paragraphs (or set clipping region, but may cause issue when text is close together)
  - WIP
