    Tickets
    
    * Add an action to remove both a section and its content
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129733
    * Provide functionality to move sections
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129735
    * Select all in selection
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129737
    + sections must not be mistaken as container for content;
    + strongly disagree with that and copy/cut works when selecting all content (Cor)
    adding functionality like copy/paste weakens the pure formatting concept
    however, users expect to interaction with sections like moving, deleting;
    via Navigator it is possible to drag and insert as copy (Heiko)
    + insert section with link to another file keep the linked content after removing the section (Seth)
    + might be good to have the standard functions cut,copy,paste of section (Roman)
    => let's introduce standard functionality; add option "Remove including content" for "Remove"
    at the sections dialog
    => move can be done per paragraph or switching the sections
    => comment on the tickets to explain and see what Peter thinks (Cor)
    
    * Set default Find (Ctrl+F) options, either separate, or based on settings in find dialog (Ctrl+H)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72080 (see also bug 119200)
    * Unify "find" toolbar with "find & replace" dialog
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129783
    + no functional benefit to be gained by combining them; WF (Stuart)
    * Add customize option to find "Whole words only" to Find toolbar
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129469
    * make "find in current selection" as default behavior
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129781
    
    + Should the Find bar offer customization for the search functions of the Find & Replace dialog?
    Should it be a limited set of search functions?
    Should the configuration of the Find bar fully pick up its settings from the Find & Replace dialog--and be
    stateful/recorded to user profile? (Stuart)
    + hidden settings, eg. taking the options from the search dialog into the find bar, is awkward (Eike)
    + have dedicated options for the find bar (Heiko)
    + bottomless pit, bad usability; eg. unclear what was set last time, Reset needed (Cor)
    + goal is to just quickly find a simple term without checking what options have been set;
    everything else has to be done with the dialog (Cor, Heiko)
    + "Match Case" is actually too much (Heiko)
    + keep it (Cor)
    => resolve requests as WF, take bug 115665 serious
