    Minutes

    Present: Tomaz, Heiko
    
    Organization
    
    * New meeting time
    + 7pm UTC is too late for Turkey and more eastern countries
    + bi-weekly switching?
    + no preference but not too late (Tomaz)
    => decision postponed
    
    Tickets 
    
    * Table protected cells: Add possibility to disable warning message
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120726
    + tend to disagree as Calc works similarly (Heiko)
    + Against warning deactivation, maybe less intrusive with an infobar? (Thomas in c3)
    + better do it with the status bar since the status may vary from cell to cell
    + alternatively, use a special background (greyed out) for protected cells 
    also combined with field shading on/off and print preview
    + introduce some "Don't show again" checkbox (plus Tools > Options stuff)
    
    * Undo and redo enhancement
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120809
    + MS Office handles this better: it usually gets chunks of ~3 words as I type; ideally LO should detect clauses (Adolfo)
    + needsDevEval (Cor, Thomas)
    + unclear use case as selection could be cut (Sophie)
    + word takes all typing input unless enter is pressed or auto correction or other functions add themselves to the undo buffer
    => we could improve the situation with an option of semantic chunks which takes all input until
    comma, semicolon, color etc. into one undo buffer (optionally)
    
    * Introduce Conditional formatting tab at the sidebar
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90116
    + WF as it cannot be modal (+1 Thomas)
    + modal speaks strictly against the sidebar
    + we could present some kind of preset at the sidebar which is define in the dialog
    + but that's not the actual request
    => WF
    
    * Some Selected Objects Flash/Blink
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94147
    + introduce an option?
    + there is Office.Common.VCL.AnimationsEnabled=true which makes the walking ants standing still in Calc (Tomaz)
    + Writer has also a Header/Footer animation which is not working yet (tdf#92450) (Tomaz)
    => let's add flashing frame on/off to this option and make it accessible to users, e.g. "[ ] Distraction free"
