     * Editing a FONTWORK is difficult
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51138
       + a) hide the fontwork design
       + b) grey-out/watermark the design
         + preferred over a)
       + c) temporarily revert stretching and rotation effects
         + might work with limited features of MSO but unclear
           with all the options we have
       + d) edit the content in a separate dialog
         + sounds like the simplest solution
       => preference: b) - d) (any work)
    
     * UI: Add footnotes and endnotes to context menu when right
       clicking footnote in document area
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139716
       + no urgent need to contextually edit F&E at the variable field
       + apparently there is no special context for fields so this
         change implies quite some effort
       => WF
    
     * Unnecessary dialog box when attempting to sort single-column (or row) data
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139019
       + convenience and safety feature, WF (Mike)
       + unclear use case
       => WF
    
     * Already used terms in Find & Replace window to be accessible from input search
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140119
       + expand the list after character has been entered (Bogdan)
       + technically similar request in bug 133494
       + no objection
       => expand the list if number of results are <20 (and shrink further on type)
    
     * HYPERLINK DIALOG: Add folder as target
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140377
       + better document the workaround than adding more UI controls (Heiko)
       => forward to documentation
