    + to discuss: "Microsoft Word 2007-2016 OOXML" or "Microsoft Word 2007-2016"
    => check if "Office Open XML Text (docx)" is an extra filter
    + get rid of that many "Microsoft" labels (Stuart); not clear if that's legal (Cor)
    + Microsoft: "Word (*.docx)" (old versions including the year) (Stuart)
    + Word Document (.docx), Word 2003 XML Document (.XML), Word 97-2003 Document (.doc) (Thomas)
    + Calligra: "Word 2007 document (*.docx)
    => go with "Word 2007-2016 (*.docx)" (without Microsoft), adjust other Word entries.
    
    * Double-click does not expand/collaps the options in the navigator ( other than the headings )
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117063
    + Double and single click behavior should ideally have always the same result for users (Thomas)
    + Options, Customize > styles, Expert settings open on double click (Stuart)
    => Follow Jim's comment 5 and open root nodes (incl. "Headings") on double click

    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115344
    + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/53217/
    + maybe help pages for such UI changes would help users to help themselves or
    to find other solutions instead of ranting against LO (Thomas)
    + Jay, Heiko, Stuart, Thomas: -1 (since structure is more straightforward)
    + Cor (strong opinion): +1 (because of ease of use)
    + Concerns in the original patch: Regina, Mike K, Cor
    => make an exception and accept the patch
