+ tests that failed more than twice in last seven days:
3 CppunitTest_svx_unit gerrit_windows
3 CppunitTest_sw_mailmerge gerrit_windows
3 JunitTest_chart2_unoapi gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
4 UITest_calc_tests8 gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
26 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
28 UITest_sw_navigator gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
+ in terms of test failures, unfortunately again high number of killed jobs + sw_navigator failures
+ apart from that, looks good
+ sw_navigator, changed to avoid oneprocess mode (Xisco)
+ restored some lost asserts
+ it seems it's still problematic
+ it's problematic for a different reason (Stephan)
+ fixed several tests on the Python side
+ Noel tried to fix it on the vcl side yesterday + today
+ suggest to not revert anything for now
+ it's a timer problem, if it's slow enough, then use-after-free happens
+ do we build SDK examples during CI on any platform? (Hossein)
+ yes, we do on Linux and macOS (Stephan)
+ if you have the build of "ODK" enabled
+ it's a subsequentcheck, so 'make check' has it
+ ie. the jenkins linux-clang-dbgutil config has it
+ want it also on Windows (Hossein)
+ you need to configure the SDK there first (Stephan)
+ easy on Linux / macOS
+ harder on Windows -> ignored that for now
+ feel free to look into it if you want
+ will take a look (Hossein)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ Multi-page floating tables in Writer, see tdf#157119 for details (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
- mostly looking into how text formatting is reported by screen readers and
spelling dialog
- not too documented, trying to clarify this with the various upstreams
+ ItemSet rework (Michael S)
+ current iteration: easy test failures are fixed, the harder ones still need fixing
+ More appealing feedback for search (none found, end of document...) (Heiko)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/156943

+ similar to the one from last week
+ asking the repoters to try to bisect it
+ didn't hear back from them (Ilmari)
+ New high severity bugs of the week:
+ Copy a table from Writer to plain text editor or as unformatted text pastes a list instead of matrix (like Calc does)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144576
+ the request looks sensible (Miklos)
+ not sure if it's easy to implement
AI: + Hossein to provide some code pointers
+ Very slow save (macOS, ARM)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152571
+ seems to happen during save, 45 seconds to save a simple document
* QA stats (Stéphane)
+ Advertising some interesting clarified/consolidated bugs:
+ Hyperlink focus:
+ [Calc] Cell containing hyperlink (URL or email), is not synchronized properly between cell and input line (mismatch in display, edit and selection): https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103447
+ [Writer] Is the drag-and-drop of links a good default behaviour? https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39015
+ [Writer] Inherited disappearance of link when trying to select it from its last character: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157872
+ [Writer] gtk3 inconsistency in hyperlink selection / move: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157871
