DEV300_m83/gtk3
callcatcher results for DEV300_m83 records a pleasingly large drop of -220 unused methods as sd reduces by 198 unused methods, while uui and framework drop to 0.
Prepared some patches to make OOo gtk3 ready, though probably best to hold off integrating into say 3.4 until the new build stuff is in place because for vanilla-land we’ll probably want to support building both gtk2 and gtk3 vclplugs side by side which is a bit hacky in the current gtk3 workspace
DEV300_m78, lang-tags
DEV300_m78 callcatcher report. Down -10 overall. scripting and vbahelper are unused method free.
Fiddling with BCP 47 style language tags, Some code at here to make a sane mapping from the glibc locale strings to it, along with some mods to hunspell to make that the default dictionary naming scheme. Enchant, OOo and friends would need some tweaking as well to bubble the extra info up. End game would be that the edge case stuff like sr-Latn[-RS] and ca[-ES]-valencia would work out of the box.
fontconfig could do with a bit of love in that direction as well. I see some bogus tags of e.g. sd-in@devanagari in some font .conf files but fontconfig takes a language-territory tag, not @modifiers, so its reading those as sd-in. Ideal situation would be to be able to describe that as sd-Deva[-IN].
glibc has two ber locales, ber_DZ and ber_MA, unfortunately these are collective language codes, which is a real nuisance. In the case of the other collective code of no, i.e. no_NO gettext and others map it to nb_NO, ber_DZ is probably most likely equivalent to kab-DZ, but ber_MA does appear to in practice refer to a collection of three languages. Though for some inscrutable reason (copy and paste) the translations in the locale file are actually Azerbaijani/Azeri
DEV300_m77
DEV300_m77 shows a gratifying large drop in unused writerperfect methods and small drop in sw. Total count now 694, -165 from m76
DEV300_m74
DEV300_m74 +5 overall unused, though sal becomes unused method free.
playing video in firefox makes OOo file menu appear
One of the rather odder bugs. OOo’s file menu suddenly appears for no good reason (while playing embedded video in Firefox on another workspace). Story is that OOo has the focus while the video is playing in totem-mozplugin, totem-mozplugin seems to want to inhibit the screensaver from kicking in so sends regular Left Alt strokes to the display via XTest. If OOo has the focus, it receives the Alts, and one of its quirks is that the file menu appears on press and release of Left Alt.
DEV300_m72
In DEV300_m72 filter and desktop are now unused method free. Though additional unused methods in scripting and sc appear. -16 overall
