Mike

  • ReqIF schema validation error with link target
    • A simple one (just had to handle both cases, plain text and an image map)
  • Read-only lock-down mode for the desktop
    • Implemented ADMX part
    • Found several UX things in core, needing additional fixes
    • Everything is merged
    • Ticket updated
    • Andras asked, if I actually tested ADMX: no I didn’t - I have no server … on my Windows Home, it seems, it’s impossible to test, even after installing group policy editor - it likely ignores the local policy. Andras tested himself - thanks!
  • Calc: Misaligned shape/chart/image positioning with browser zoom
    • Back to it
