Akkana:

• Worked on Joe's bug 89403, on lists flattening on copy/paste. Found the cause but not a safe solution yet.
• Bug 69638, quoting in plaintext compose; Daniel Bratell had some good code review comments, mcafee tested it and says it works.
• Went through a weird bug which Clayton encountered writing a status report, where hitting delete near the beginning of the document causes all hell to break loose. Filed as 89708, seems to involve a bad interaction between nested divs some of which are coming from pasting from mail's message pane.
• More configuration on the new machine.
• Tried to take SERA2 home on a jaz, discovered that my home machine has forgotten how to talk to the scsi card.
• Hovered some at composer bug-o-rama.
  
• Wednesday off (Independence Day).

Anthony:

• continued working on my 0.9.3 bug list
• checked in the fix for 88263 trunk, pending branch whenever it opens and clears.
• had bugorama with Lisa. reviewed how she uses Composer. we then reviewed the information the rest of us gathered and beth compiled it.
• investigated and found solution for 88055 (first character of attribute value is getting uppercased) but could not check it in because jst thought it wasn't something we should worry about (long story). i will find another solution .

Beth:

• milestone bug triage
• test and target newly submitted bugs
• assisted with bug-o-rama on Tuesday
• testing/QA editor

Charley:

• on vacation part of the week
• fixed and checked in all 0.9.3 bugs:

  • 57398: Spell check dialog layout problem when misspelled word is very long.
  • 89644: Kludge around the missing widgets in Image and Table dialogs. (Really and XPFE problem - bug 67333 existed long ago; can't find the more recent one I file on hewitt.)
  • 86009: Join Table cells not working in columns
• Reviewed, tested, and checked in fix for 89644 (new help button for image dialog) for Kathy

  • 88681 style change to background-color after disabling a style sheet is not complete
• Worked on :
  • 24861 Quotes nesting doesn't work [GC]
• I think I found one of the reasons why "Find in Page" feature is sometimes very slow (try to find string "rosen" in LXR's view of nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp and launch the chronograph...) and am working on it. I hope to decrease the time needed by this example from 33 seconds (yes, thirty-three !) on my windows box to far less than a second.
