    • https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/tmp/gerrit_231026.html
    • 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)

  • QA update (Xisco)

  • QA stats (Stéphane)
