   + tests that failed more than twice in last seven days:
      3 CppunitTest_svx_unit                gerrit_windows
      3 CppunitTest_sw_mailmerge                gerrit_windows

      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://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157135
            + 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)
