Description: Add info about Jumbo sheets status into About dialog Today Jumbo sheets is experimental feature, but users can enable it anyway and then they can get any problems. I suggest add info about Jumbo sheets status into About dialog in bottom row like: Calc: CL, VLT enabled/disabled (or Jumbo on/off) more for QA people. When it very cool function will be more stable we'll can delete that info from About dialog Steps to Reproduce: - Actual Results: if user enabled a Jumbo sheets function, then QA don't see it from About dialog info Expected Results: if user enabled a Jumbo sheets function, then QA see it from About dialog info at once Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: -
Mike, Noel, Xisco, Heiko what do you think?

LGTM. Possibly we need a new line on that dialog, something like: Experimental Features: xx, yy, zzz to make it obvious that some experimental features are enabled, and which ones
(In reply to Noel Grandin from comment #3) > Possibly we need a new line on that dialog, something like: > > Experimental Features: xx, yy, zzz Do we actually have a list of current experimental features? IIUC we only have a flag allowing all the features, and each dev checks it in places where their features decide if they should work or not?
There is a flag for jumbo sheets, but possibly not other experimental features
(In reply to Noel Grandin from comment #5) Ah! Good to know. Slightly inconsistent (usually experimental features are enabled on Options->[ProductName]->Advanced->[x] Enable experimental features (may be unstable)), but definitely provides necessary fine-tune control for this most experimental of all experimental features :-)
Please don't add more things to the UI. The copy button / HandleClick method compiles its own text and takes data per GetMiscString(); we could the Jumbo info there. But of course some kind of GetExperimental() below would be easier to spot. I like this idea.
Code pointer: cui/source/dialogs/about.cxx OUString AboutDialog::GetMiscString() ... aCalcMode += "threaded"; } add if (officecfg::Office::Calc::Defaults::Sheet::JumboSheets::get()) { if (!aCalcMode.endsWith(" ")) aCalcMode += " "; aCalcMode += "Jumbo"; } (this shows for example "Calc: threaded Jumbo", if enabled)
