     * ClearDirectFormatting does not remove page break
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138628
       + introduce "Clear Special" dialog, and if so with what options
       + go with another UNO command with interaction similar to Save/SaveAs
       + page break can be seen as inserting objects but is formatting (Octavio)
       + introduce tools > option > ? to also clean page break (Mike)
       + simplicity first, most users don't expect PB to be deleted with DF
         so resolve WF (Heiko)
       + MSO behaves similar to LibreOffice and keeps page break (but also
         font highlighting) with "Clear All Formatting"
       + Clear DF means to delete everything so do it by default (Sascha)
       => comment and keep
    
     * UI: Merge Format Edit Sections with Insert Section
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138678
       + dialogs are okay, command might be better placed at Edit
       + agree, better located at Edit and two dialogs that are the same
         is weird and unnecessary (Sascha)
       + meaning the dialog has to respond on whether an existing section is
         selected (Edit) or a new name is added (Insert)
       + different UNO commands uno:InsertSection and uno:EditRegion and there
         is also uno:EditCurrentRegion
       => let's investigate if merging is possible
    
     * Fix the size (number of lines) of "input line" in Calc
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137849
       + easy to do and not violating UX but very special use case
         so maybe better suited for extension
         + seems not to be possible (Alain)
       + MSO Excel remembers the expanded state (Sascha)
       => let's do it
    
     * Use GtkSpinButton for .uno:FontHeight
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138533
       + have been introduced in addition to the font size combobox to easily
         in-/decrease the fone size
       + spin button means to replace the combobox and the +/- buttons
       + CJK uses special dropdown entries (Ming)
       + over-engineered controls, too large with Gtk (Adolfo, Roman)
       + looks nice and clean in the sidebar but for sake of consistency
         we'd have to change the toolbar as well and that's less appealing (Sascha)
       => reject for sidebar; NB can do it
    
     * three improvements in File > Templates and associated .uno commands
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138621
       + rename Open Template to Edit Template
         + both work for me (Heiko)
         + open is more precise since the template is not yet
           integrated into the template manager (Sascha)
       + icons in submenu sounds okay
         + add to guideline (AI: Heiko)
       + hide uno:TemplateManager from customization
       => make easyhackable
