# Issues The following are issues I have noticed in LibreOffice - they are my opinion, but others may disagree so take it all with a grain of salt: ## VCL * OutputDevice is tightly coupled to Window, Printer and VirtualDevice - not for instance that in many parts of the code you must call upon GetOutDevType() to find out if the class you are invoking is a Printer, VirtualDevice or Window! * Metafile recording is tightly coupled to OutputDevice * Text layout handling is all done in OutputDevice - I don't see why this should be the case. Text layout should be handled in its own class. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
