     * Select paragraph (quad click) causes jumping to the end
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156369
       + see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137603
       + MSO hides the caret on selection, we show it and give feedback where
         it is; changing this should be done
       + not so many people requesting this change (John)
         + actually it is a frequently asked question (Heiko)
         + depends on the OS/DE how selection works (Notepad on Windows
           hides the caret likewise MSO while Kate on Linux/KDE does the
           same as we do, ie. show and move the caret)
       + advantage of showing the caret is better feedback; you see what has
         been selected (important when the text spawns multiple pages)
       + do not change this; and if do it optional (Heiko)
       => make this request a duplicate of 137603 and comment there
    
     * Warn when default format is changed
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90593
       + no warning when changing the default at Tools > Options > Load/Save
       + pointless in first place and common without (Bogdan, Justin)
       + saving as plain txt gives no warning but changing on SaveAs to doc
         it warns; MSO gives a warning for odt (for example) even when it is the
         default (together with a don't show again checkbox)
       + would expect the same as MSO for all formats but odt/fodt; the "warn when
         not saving..." below should become "Do want in case of alien formats"
         being controlled on the confirmation dialog
       => do so
    
     * Wrong cell attributes assumed
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113687
       + valid request but header should be taken into account (Eike)
       => make the format of inserted rows/cols depending on the action
          left/right (rather prior/after) resp. below/top
    
     * Cannot copy formula by copying cell when displaying with Show Formula
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156357
       => assigned
    
     * Option to REQUIRE pressing F2 or Enter to switch to cell edit mode
       and ignore any data entry attempts otherwise
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155891
       + option to disallow direct input in Calc (F2 always required)
       + if implemented it should be done as expert option to make it hard
         to find for average users (Hossein)
       => do it
