Note: I won't be able to make this week's meeting, but my status is below. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments!

Last Week:

• bug 836568 landed: Reflow-on-zoom has issues with events being queued up.
• bug 862763: Font inflation checking is showing up way too much (~15%) in profiles (complete, but hasn't landed yet - still in review).

This Week:

• Still working on bug 836565, but there's a plan to go forward that I hope to have mostly complete by the end of the week.
• bug 864595: Assertion failure in caretPositionFromPoint
• Look into other issues that Margaret is having with caretPositionFromPoint returning an unexpected object for a given set of coordinates.
• bug 861106: Crash in nsDocumentViewer::SetMinFontSize.
