# Mike

- Inconsistent behaviour with document repair mechanism

- CTRL + A not working with hidden sections

# Tomaz

pivot table:

- Pivot table doesn’t get imported, because the pivot table cache and  
the sheet data are not in sync
  - not being in sync is OK, this is not the issue
  - however because the pivot table description is made on the cached  
data we can’t rely on the sheet data to recreate it
  - in this instance we can’t rely on the sheet data to get the correct  
field name
  - instead we can get the cached field definition and take the field  
name from there
  - this will at least recreate the pivot table description correctly -  
even if we don’t import the pivot table cache data into the cache itself

- With the fix in place the pivot table now is imported and we have the  
formulas that rely on the pivot table work
  - pushed the fix to LO master and stopped working on to see what they  
say about the fix
    - told them the fix will be available in next daily build

  - the colors of some fields are not imported too
  - but we don’t have a way to define a custom format for the pivot  
table field (just general styles for pivot table elements)

Impress: Font size changes in textbox when editing PPTX:

- Looking at the CreateLines algorithm how we could make scaling  
internal in the editeng
  - We have much more control internally in the editeng on the changes  
and we could do it with much less overhead

- Checking what is going on in some other cases, where the scaling changes
- Looking into why CalcTextSizeNTP is returning a different value
