    Tickets/Topic
    
    * Provide context menu inside the area (rows, columns) where an Outline is set, with outline functions
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76986
    + don't see any contextual functions that are needed there (Heiko)
    + Show/Hide Details (Cor)
    + but the bar can have multiple groups; still not convinced
    + tooltips make sense ("Grouping of B$:D$"\nClick to show/hide)
    + random values are recalculated on row/col hide (bug 132809)
    => change into tooltip request (or resolve as WFM)
    
    * UX: Ignore all option in spell check is an unexpected full session setting
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132505
    + store ignored words at spellchecking in the document not the session?
    + ignore once/all as well as correct once/all should work at the current document,
    a further option should allow to add this word to a dictionary
    + changing the text language is pointless as the dialog does not offer any restart
    + also, options... are misplaced in this dialog
    + modifications to the text itself (paste) are questionable
    + the dialog shouldn't be amodal
    + the dialog should use system settings (currently dark font on dark background)
    + undo better done after close (every change stored separately)
    => add mockup to ticket
    
    * Change Arabic diacritics' colours separate from base font colour?
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129330
    + Apply character style per autotext or use direct formatting with hard-coded rules
    + find/replace approach should work like in indesign (see youtube video in c4)
    => no objection, comment on ticket
    
    * FORMATTING: Clone Formatting should allow typing when in multiple selection mode
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128719
    => no objection so go for it
    
    * Provide a live preview of changes when creating or editing a pivot table
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131654
    + mockup in c2 needs improvement for options and consideration of corner cases
    => no objection
