@libreoffice @gnome Yes yes. My bad. I'm running version 25.8.1.1. When I open a .csv file with LibreOffice Calc I see this Text Import window. The problem is that it doesn't fit to my screen size and for that reason the bottom buttons aren't visible.
@libreoffice @gnome I also've the same problem with Gnome Image Viewer's Keyboard Shortcuts window.

Lately I’ve been working on some small but nice improvements for @planifyapp
Nothing huge, but those little details that make the app feel smoother and more polished.

Right now when I type a backtick ("`") in a #GitHub #Markdown input box in #Firefox 143.0.4 (deb packaged by Mozilla) on #Debian #Linux (Testing) in #GNOME, instead of it just being displayed as a backtick, it's being displayed as an accent on the following character.
See screenshots for what I mean.
Not happening in Chrome, or on Windows, or in text input boxes on at least one other website I tried.
Anybody else seeing this? Is it a Firefox bug or what? I'm baffled.

I just reinstalled #postmarketos edge with #posh on my #OnePlus6 (t) just to try the #camera. It's SO near to be useable, it hurts.
I have to open #gnome #camera and then #cameracrtl to display the focus controls, and then manually focus, as I do on my reflex camera.
The only issue is the image is displayed upside-down, so it's very hard to point it in the right direction.
The sad thing is I had it in the right orientation (but without focus controls, as I was using gnome-mobile) before formatting 🤦♂️
Anyone knows if/how it can be rotated?
(Note that, once the shutter is pressed, the resulting image is in the right orientation in the gallery 🤷♂️)

Found why the #Bluetooth behavior in #GNOME was so confusing to me over the years: while my computer (and the gnome-bluetooth backend) supports connecting & pairing multiple devices at once, it turns out that #BlueZ sometimes reports some devices as disconnected when reactivating Bluetooth… so I end up accidentally disconnecting a device when I think it is not already connected 
…as discovered in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8692, it turns out to be a BlueZ issue… but BlueZ has no bug tracker 🫠
@researchfairy themeability is accessibility; user empowerment demands the user to be in control of every aspect of what their software does
but don't let #gnome hear you say that
Gang, if I were an org and I wanted to use #Linux for my workstations, I would be worried that the Linux desktop only holds together because it’s a pile of projects with a single maintainer assembled together.
1. How true is that for @kde? For @gnome?
2. Are there organizations providing paid support for the desktop use case?
3. Is there such a thing as fleet management for Linux? Active Directory support?
4. What needs to be tackled urgently to improve it?
