# Caolan

- regression on invaliding cell area
- merge “don’t invalidate sheet on switching tabs” to 23.05, etc
- disable printer queue for online, like we do for tests/fuzzing etc
- ponder the oss code coverage stuff for a while, there are at least  
4 modules with 0% use, so presumably we shouldn’t need to build them  
at all if things work without these getting used.  
 → drop reg, store, bib, cui from fuzzing builds
- have a look at what compiler hardening flags are used by rh at the  
moment
  - [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/163312](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/163312)

- sync input handler and zoom, works for one user now, but  
still seeing issues for multiple user case.
- make check failure with emoji glyph with OpenDyslexic font installed
- painful grind to build a test case for calc editing vs  
viewing mismatch
- cell editing background regression in calc dark/light modes
- debug multi view mismatch
- misplaced text on editing shape

- claimed regression, but seems to be like this for ages, fixed now

- getComputedStyle slow for comments
- improve calc note font categorization caching

# Mike

- CTRL + A not working with hidden sections
  - The current problem is a section with a page break with page style  
after a hidden section in the beginning of the document. In this case,  
the page style is ignored
  - Turns out that it’s old problem, but didn’t happen with sections -  
but a hidden bare paragraph in the beginning always caused the same problem.
  - A new 2nd page is created for the break after the hidden frame; then  
the paragraph gets moved to the first empty page …
  - When the break is in the very first document’s paragraph, the first  
page gets created initially with the correct style → need to search for  
the first visible paragraph.
  - SwLayHelper::CheckInsertPage
  - SwFrame::CheckPageDescs
  - Fixed and created unit tests for the issues not caught by existing  
tests (thanks to fdo114306\_2.odt, which allowed to see the breakages  
visually, even though its unit test somehow passed).
  - Submitted the final (?) version of pre-requisite “0-height hidden  
section frames” to gerrit
  - Have a partial fix to selection problem
  - Turns out, that the bugdoc has additional factor (a frame in the  
hidden section)
  - debugging
  - Fixed; submitted
  - Fails sw\_tiledrendering - testSearchTextFrameWrapAround
  - Luckily the tiledrendering test caught another breakage - find in  
frames (caused by a change that prevented passing boundaries of special  
document segments - redlines, footnotes, headers/footers, inserts, main  
body). The search crosses these boundaries freely. Created a flag.
  - The updated change passes all the tests

- LibreOffice stops working after cleaning temp directory
  - Started

- LO hangs while callling createTextRangeByPixelPosition([…]
  - Trying to repro to provide an estimation

# Tomaz

pivot table:

- Pivot table fix merged to master and backported to LO 24.2 branch

XLS document with DRM add-on:

- Researched the issue and estimated, then implemented
- Found the issue in import that prevents us to open the un-encrypted sheet
- Added an infobar message, that the encrypted content couldn’t be opened
- Pushed to master, LO 24.2 branch

Calc: add currency dropdown to the notebookbar:

- Reworked the currency dropdown, so it is activated with single-click  
(no double click needed anymore)
- Changed the “OK” button to “More Formats…” button that opens the  
Options dialog
- Make the currency list nicer (WIP)

# Miklos

Worked on:

- tdf#159483 Clipboard: Implement permissions for pasting in Chrome-based browsers
- cool#8270 Multi-user text editing status bar confusion
- cool#8292 Paste special in notebookbar
