It is useful to check that basic functionality in CODA-W is not broken accidentally by commits to other parts of the code. We have lots of existing tests for COOL functionality in general that use Cypress. That technology is not usable for testing CODA, as its JavaScript part does not...

A “metric” spinbutton is a spinbutton that has an associated unit: cm/inch, points and percentage are common units used. The previous implementation used the standard spinbuttons and overlaid the unit some distance from the trailing edge so it could be seen and not obscure the value. Putting the unit inside...

One of the features of Collabora Online has been a way to ensure that log files (of reasonable verbosity) don’t include any personally identifying information. This allows logs to be shared by customers and partners with confidence to allow debugging unusual problems. This is done with a one-way hash, and...

Basics: Office documents like ODF (odt, …) and OOXML (docx, …) can have so called Fields embedded in the text. Fields can automatically update the content they show. The most common example may be having a page number in the footer of each page. The piece of text showing the...

Among a host of other accessibility enhancements, we have implemented the W3C Accordion Pattern for our expanders, as used in the sidebar and dialogs, where we have a vertical stack of regions each with a heading and associated contents which can be expanded or collapsed. The implemented recommendation is to...

Mostly for historical reasons, LibreOffice has its own `SvMemoryStream` class (for, you guessed it, writing in-memory streams). For quite a while now, code in the PDF filter used that `SvMemoryStream` in a quite peculiar way: In various places, it would take a pointer to some bytes that had already been...
