Notebook Nov/Dec Backlog

[rebornix]

Notes from @roblourens and @rebornix

• Code
  • Polish cellRenderer
    • disposables for elements (DOM.scheduleAnimation) --> memory leak
    • rendering phases (renderElement, probeHeight)
    • clear/re-initialize DOM nodes in template
  • Polish notebookExecutionService Notebook cell execution isn't managed in the renderer #125668
  • Focus tracking
    • clipboard
    • monaco editor focus tracking (editor.onFocus/blur)
• Experiments
  • avoid flickering when cell height changes (tweaking the offset of webview element, shrink works, expansion needs more work)
  • run notebook controllers extensions in dedicated extension host
• UX (notebook-rendering)
  • dyanmic text/icon in global toolbar (by grouping) (related issue)
  • running cell out of viewport Explore ways to show execution progress while the execute cell is out of the viewport  #130611
  • rendering status in collapsed state (esp, IW) Show notebook cell status when cell is collapsed - Example: Show Cell Completed Run Symbol #131200

Along with the changes/experiments, we will also generate architecture diagrams to help understand the structure of the notebook component, which will include

• how layout works with webview
• scrolling (events from webview)
• resize flow
• text buffer reuse, text models resolution

Closing as most of them are done and rest of them are tracking separately.
