    Tickets
    
    * Correct implementation or remove the Navigation toolbar
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115817
    + dock it (c24) (Stuart, Cor)
    + make it experimental (Heiko)
    => dock at the standard toolbar because there is a bit more space left
    
    * Behavior is not consistent when saving with unknown file extension
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111071
    + saving a new file adds the extension, changing it at the OS level doesn't => WFM (Heiko)
    + this patch would end in the inability to call a file foo.ab, which is awkward
    + of course not when "Automatic file name extension" is checked (Cor)
    => treat as Windows-only bug
    
    * Names of Drawing Objects can be Deleted
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122477
    + allow empty names (=WF) or revert to default (=NEW)
    + mostly a Navigator issue where empty names make an object hidden
    + renaming objects to existing names is not possible, except for empty names
    + ideally we have a flag "Hide in Navigator and ToC" and revert the name to
    the default on deletion but that takes some effort for less benefit (Heiko)
    + deleting names is a user action so intentionally done (Cor)
    => not a bug (Cor, Regina)
    
    * Writer does not include a key combination to insert thin spaces (U+200A)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121596
    + add _one_ small white space, maybe run a poll
    + alt+space actives window management on Ubuntu (Cor) & Windows too (Rizal)
    + since ctrl+space is also dangerous we should take ctrl+alt+space
    => go for it
    => marketing/documentation could create a nice cheat sheet for shortcuts
    
    * Explain in the style dialog that Outline & Numbering options are disabled...
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122637
    + agree with Buovjaga's idea of static text (though we'd better provide means
    to enable the controls, ie. link to the other dialog)
    => next to Outline with "Disabled unless Tools > Chapter Numbering: Paragraph Style is set to None"
    or ... "Disabled if the Paragraph Style is linked with Chapter numbering in Tools > ..."
    ideally with a link at "Tools...>" to the respective dialog
