New online slideshow presentation

  • Reviews, Team call,…
  • VCL / Drawinglayer slide rendering
    • Issue with rendering of a slideshow with an animated paragraphs (reported by Marco) is fixed
      • when calling getDecomposition we used a empty ViewInformation, but we have the ViewInformation available that will be used later for rendering
      • using the correct ViewInformation fixes the issue
  • Text field rendering
    • changed the rendering so each text field is rendered in separated layer
    • updated the test, so the test document has multiple text fields and the use case can be tested now
    • checking how to implement this to be “compatible” with the expectations in the web client
