+ [Bug 157472] Always show menu icons in GTK3_KDE5
+ [Bug 157467] Area background: right-clicking on image to delete or rename
should target the clicked one and not the selected one
+ [Bug 157234] Should "Consider wrapping styles when positioning objects"
be ON as default?
+ [Bug 156674] UI: formula help still displayed when editing cell formatted
as text
+ [Bug 157438] Expert config: Lists should be properly editable
+ [Bug 157435] Use numeric field when editing integer typed config items
+ [Bug 157436] Expert config: Enumerations should be editable in a dropdown
+ [Bug 157432] Expert config: Allow filtering by changed values
+ [Bug 157439] Properties sidebar deck Position & Size doesn't have
position controls
+ [Bug 157406] Writer allows to insert comments in footnotes in DOCX,
but loses them
+ [Bug 157385] [Enhancement] Allow users to put navigator deck and tabbar
at the top or bottom of the window.
-> + [Bug 68573] FORMATTING:Inconsistent underlining of text in different
fonts (see comment 6)
+ [Bug 157276] [UI] Presenter mode does not use system font
+ [Bug 157415] Import & Export mechanism for the font substitution table
+ [Bug 118866] EDITING Hyperlink to hidden sheet navigates to wrong sheet
-> + The UI/UX aspect of how to deal with security vulnerabilities;
the question of whether LO should "call home" to check for
advisories for security-related updates; annoyance of asking for
consent vs. the responsibility of caring for user security; the
space of UI choices regarding such security-update-checks.
+ proposal is to show an infobar if it's urgent to update (Heiko)
+ with the possibility to ignore this
+ started to spec out the automatic updater, it'll solve this (Thorsten)
+ usually we don't announce a new release & say it contains a security
fix (Cloph)
+ frequently the sec issue is under embargo while releasing
+ also not a fan of phoning home
+ if we want to be more safer than the competition, we may want to have
this (Heiko)
+ the webp case is not the usual flow (Cloph)
+ any drawbacks to having a communication channel to signal important
updates? (Hossein)
+ yes, privacy. there is always a balance there (Cloph)
+ it's weird with sec updates (Thorsten)
+ the lib severity vs what it means for LO may be different
+ web browser exploit -> may not affect LO
+ almost every release ships a sec fix
+ the real problem is not updating automatically on Windows
+ end users hate changes, they like to stick to old versions (Heiko)
+ visible in the crashreports, people use old versions (Cloph)
+ sure, no problem if you want to disable updates for whatever reason
(Thorsten)
* Crash Testing (Caolan)
+ 22(+0) import failure, 0(+0) export failures
+ Armin has some promising pending fixes there, it seems
+ 1,368 coverity issues
- c++20 baseline, so bumped compiler
- thought I'd bump coverity version too
+ will find out if older coverity version will work
with newer compiler and use that instead if possible
+ 2 ossfuzz issues, no crashes

+ working on the contents for the workshop
+ had "Intoduction to LibreOffice development" workshop at the conference
+ will prepare certificates for attending people
+ last item was the overview of Writer -> Hossein also talked about his own
bugfixes
+ recordings (Gabriel)
+ sadly they are really bad
+ we decided at the last moment that it'll be recorded, wasn't planned
+ significant parts are missing
+ in many cases you can't see which slide is presented
+ sound is OK
+ but still, many missing parts
+ is there still interest in sharing the recording?
+ please share it with me, perhaps will re-record in shorter form
(Hossein)
+ where to upload? (Gabriel)
+ perhaps TDF nextcloud (Hossein)
+ I'm planning to do a proper recording of my Bugzilla session too.
(Stéphane)
+ yes, re-recording sessions is a good idea (Hossein)
+ could form a course
+ would provide an overview
* Outreachy (Ilmari)
+ https://www.outreachy.org/ -- Applied with two intern slots
+ Mentor sign up deadline September 29: looking for mentors
+ https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/libreoffice/
+ if you have time to mentor & idea: please speak up now
+ Project timeline is Dec -> March
+ Not looking for mentors at this stage, have 2 projects already
+ Michael W also signed up as mentor
+ Activity will start in December
+ Will drop this section next week
* Commit Access
+ Skyler Grey (Miklos)
+ propose to restirct this to direct commit to distro branches
+ follows what we had so far (Cloph)
=> no objections
AI: Miklos to send the welcome mail + point out the restricted scope (Miklos)
AI: Cloph to enable the commit bit (Cloph)
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Miklos/Thorsten/László)
+ resting since: 0 weeks (limit: 20 weeks)
+ new certified developer: Hossein
* Jenkins / CI update (Cloph)

16 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
18 CppunitTest_vcl_text gerrit_linux_gcc_release
+ the list looks scary, but it's better than that (Cloph)
+ vcl_text failure was mostly limited to a series of patches updating
fonts
+ sw_ooxmlexport13 also limited to iterations of a pending change/larger
rework from Noel and a patch series where the bottom one had an issue → not a
widespread problem
+ the amount of killed builds is not nice
+ sw_navigator improved, but takes time to get changes rebased
+ 1 windows bot had a leftover process and auto-detection didn't kick in
+ if you see multiple failures on the same bot:
+ disable the bot yourself + notify on #tdf-infra
+ or if no permission -> complain about it on #tdf-infra so we can fix
it
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ C++20 (Stephan)
+ mostly submitted to master
+ still pending: mass-update of string with the string literals
+ feel free to try C++20 features
+ is that limited to C++ arrays? (Miklos)
+ that's for all places where we build an O(U)String at runtime
(Stephan)
+ no need for O(U)StringLiteral anymore
+ the "foo" -> O(U)String magic will go away, it's expensive
+ this rewrite will get rid of the runtime cost
+ multi-page floating tables in Writer, see tdf#157119 for details (Miklos)
+ JDK bump to 17 (Michael W)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/155827
+ still waiting for some macOS builders to be updated
+ hope to get the last one updated in a few weeks (Cloph)
+ no hurry, can wait (Michael W)
+ Right-to-left math layout and other Math improvements (Khaled)
+ All patches have been merged, basically done (not withstanding the
long tail of bug fixes)
+ Drop HTML export wizard in Impress/Draw (Xisco)
- HTML export filter reduced to just export as a html single-document. Now
exporting from the UI behaves the same as when using --convert-to
html:"impress_html_Export"
- initially everything was removed, then hit some pushback
- a simplified filter is now restored
+ Marina presented about Outreachy wrt Windows installation set (Stephan)
+ not nice if it's not integrated
+ planned to set up some build bot to produce the new packaging and see
how that goes (Cloph)
AI: set up a daily tinderbox for this (Cloph)
