+ [Bug 158126] UI: Scalable buttons for Impress navigation bar
+ [Bug 158123] Overflow the tabbed interface to scroll/flip instead of a popup
+ [Bug 156915] Cannot access document themes option using tabbed UI
-> + [Bug 137272] Make it less likely that user unwillingly loses footnote and
endnote font size inheritance from paragraph
+ additional footnote char style adds some flexibility but make things inconsistent
+ no special style in Word, but then can't change all footnotes at once
+ an option is to hardcode how the footnote is derived from the current char style
+ would leave towards not having a dedicated char style for the footnote portion (Miklos)
-> + [Bug 158069] Scroll through font selection listbox using arrow keys and
preview change on document canvas
+ sounds nice if it can work fast enough (Miklos)
+ [Bug 158084] Start Center: hover highlight color is inconsistent
+ [Bug 143340] Undo/redo for checking/unchecking KeepRatio in Image Properties
Dialog not properly handled
+ [Bug 158077] "double bracket" callout name is a misnomer
+ [Bug 157972] Don't shorten "Relative size" to "Rel. Size" in
Bullets & Numbering dialog
+ [Bug 158034] Feature request: Editing, Formatting, UI. Option to add linebreaks
when merging cells into one.
+ [Bug 157945] UI: Resizing of a selection of columns/rows should correspond to
the mouse position
+ [Bug 158017] Impress Freshes Template using wrong font color in some slides
* Crash Testing (Caolan)
+ 17(+8) import failure, 10(+10) export failures
+ one calc parallel problem is fixed
+ styleref problem is still to be addressed
+ same for the new content control changes
+ 1 coverity issues
+ 10 ossfuzz issues

+ 7.6.1.2 7885(+503)
+ 7.6.2.1 13877(+3380)
* Mentoring (Hossein)
+ New draft blog post on dev blog
+ String types in LibreOffice C/C++ code - part 2
+ Discussing string literals, streams, buffers
https://dev.blog.documentfoundation.org/?p=752&preview=1&_ppp=b15fe12405
+ Next, I will discuss 2 EasyHacks defined for C++20 literals
+ Used Volunteermatch to attract new contributors for Python
+ Project: Porting LibreOffice SDK Java examples to Python
+ Already received 2 volunteering offers, contacted them
+ Created LibreOffice SDK Programming Guide (SDKGuide) on TDF Wiki
+ Based on JLOP (Java LibreOffice Programming) book by Andrew Davison
+ Imported 6 chapters (text, code, images, etc.)
+ Edited the 6 chapters to update the contents
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/SDKGuide
+ plan is to provide C++ implementation for the helper classes, so it's available to all UNO-using languages
Utility classes
https://github.com/hosseinn/jlop-code/tree/main/Utils
+ should we port such code, or just keep java-only?
+ see it as a trade-off: then somebody has to maintain this (Miklos)
+ if it's real c++ classes, then skeptical (Stephan)
+ An example wrapper is the one that provide an easy way to bootstrap (Hossein)
+ think the current DevGuide already provides simple bootstrap way in C++/Java/Python (Stephan)
+ best to look at this offline.
+ Utils/Lo.java contains this wrapper class
+ next step: write to the dev list and expand on the details (Hossein)

24 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
+ in terms of code failures, not too bad
+ quite some kill-wrapper problems, though
+ had a problem with one of the macOS builders
+ also a Windows builder broke and was not auto-detected
* FTP UCP removal (Michael S)
+ patch in gerrit to remove this:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/159065
+ think we already decided to remove this at some stage, LO 7.4 release note already deprecated this.
+ configuration setting to set an ftp proxy
+ some java client may still use it.
+ OK to remove this, still?
+ just drop it (Thorsten, Michael W, Stephan)
+ don't forget to add that to the RelNotes
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/24.2 (Cloph)
+ re deprecating old protocols (Hossein)
+ also watch for new protocols
+ warn on unencrypted http?
+ not interested in investigating this, though
+ currently implementing a new setting "allow insecure protocols" (Michael S)
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/159011
+ still enabled by default
+ can disable it
+ then only https will be allowed
+ and only newer TLS versions
+ auditing the python mail merge / wiki publisher to cope with this
+ also interested in securing our URP listener (Hossein)
+ will add an option to disable that (Michael S)
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/159151
+ also there is a wifi listener somewhere (Thorsten)
+ but the user has to explicitly enable it first? (Michael S)
+ yes (Thorsten, Cloph)
+ while defaulting to "no warn on http" for now, consider switching that in the future (Thorsten)
+ may make sense to release-note this.
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ Multi-page floating tables in Writer, see tdf#157119 for details (Miklos)
+ focusing on the UI now
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ some fixes for spelling dialog
+ working on adding support for reporting spelling errors in EditEngine
+ discussion around support for AT-SPI object attributes in Gtk 4:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6196
+ Import of Word drawing canvas (Regina)
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/156629
+ WIP patch for Writer, 2 problems:
+ the curve connectors don't work
+ same problem as in Impress
+ ignore curve connectors for now?
+ probably OK to get it in without it being perfect (Miklos)
+ if it's a net improvement
+ 2nd problem:
+ current state: could be committed, but would appreciate a review
+ no unit tests yet.
+ not sure it'll be in time for 24.2 feature freeze
+ at least one unit test would be nice before asking for review, to see the improvements.
+ Xisco can also help with adding tests (Cloph)
