    Tickets/Topic
    
     * Tight integration
       + mkara wants to discuss what we can do to make it working
       + state is that a temporary address is used with extensions
         frozen at the time when the project was done
       + implemented API is not fully compatible yet (Muhammet)
       + several options on the table; fall-back solution is to run
         a script that updates the temp site every day but ideally
         we get it running on the actual extension site;
         will take care of this (Muhammet)
       + Hard feature freeze was Nov 16, UI freeze is Dec 14
       + will abandon the patch to make it exerimental (Heiko)
       => update next design meeting, Dec/03
    
     * Escape chart mode after Insert > Chart
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137891
       + cannot reproduce, escape closes the module and allows to
        delete (Heiko, Muhammet)
       + different behaviour between Windows and Linux (7.0.2) (Sascha) - but not
         on 7.2 (Heiko)
       + pressing escape multiple times is weird (Sascha)
         + only once required on Windows but two or three times on Linux
         + Chart Area is selected on Linux but not on Windows
         + sidebar is blank with no chart element selected
         + sidebar is not reliably refreshed
       => WFM, escaping the chart mode per ESC is possible with master
         (and on Windows)
    
     * Loss of nominated Chart data series Labels when target cells hidden or
       grouped & collapsed
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134059
       => assigned and patch has been submitted
    
     * Unwanted scroll to bottom when changing language of document
       (CTRL+A Language change)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137603
       + remember current position on select all (instead of going
         to the end) (Heiko)
       + MS Word does left/up to first character, right/down to the end;
         LibreOffice always goes to the end, actually SelectAll changes the
         cursor position
       + API might be affected when we change the behavior (Muhammet)
       + also an option to change the view immediately with SelectAll (Sascha)
       + same situation for sentence/paragraph selection (currently the cursor
         goes to the end)
       + we may also keep the view position after SelectAll and any
         operation (Muhammet)
         + would dislike the separation of cursor position and view (Heiko)
         + only manually scrolling, eg. SelectAll + scroll to p10, should be kept
       => ideally keep the cursor position, otherwise scroll to cursor
    
     * Anchor decoration in Toggle formatting marks on mode (to so they exact
       location of the anchor)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138351
       + change the anchor color/symbol?
       + using a blueish symbol sounds like a plan (Sascha)
       + might be worth to make it depended to the icon theme since
         not all users want the icon to be obtrusive (Heiko)
       => recommend color to icon designers
