    General discussion
    
    * Discussion about dark colors
      + Fixing issues on macOS is important, see bug 118017
    
    Tickets/Topic
    
     * FIND & REPLACE: Should be possible to specify both a search expression
       and a style
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141439
       + can of worms (Heiko, Dave)
         + extension exists with AltSearch
       + support the idea of cascading criteria despite the extension (Thomas)
       + adding criterium with an easy to understand synthax e.g. <StyleName=Heading>
         would sattisfy advanced users (Sascha)
       + would made it possible to add MS Office syntax for addon-developer (Sascha)
       => do it
    
     * Inconsistency in Bringing forth the Page Style Window Using the
       Status Bar from LibreOffice Calc
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136313
       + single click to open the page style, right-click for
         context menu (Thomas)
         + duplicating bug 87750 and bug 91914
       + agree to the idea that the status bar shouldn't open dialogs (Sascha)
         + millions of users might complain to removal (Sascha)
       => do it
    
     * Lock files and privacy (leaking user and computer name)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141026
       + very rare usecase but still reasonable request, also easy hack (Sascha)
       + user error but "Show Details" function easy to implement (Mike)
    
     * Enhancement: Default padding in LibreOffice Calc
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141864
       + default padding is the same as in Excel (Thomas)
         + second issue is a duplicate
       + larger cells improve human readablility
       -> rather change default row height than cell padding (Sascha)
    
    + maybe set options for default Height, Width to Options->Calc->Defaults (Sascha)
    
       + could be done per default template
       => resolve duplicate
    
     * CROSS-REFERENCE DIALOG: Allow prefixing section-numbering reference
       with section symbol
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141429
       + no need for it (Dieter)
       + can't be part of the reference as it requires to be in the ODF
       + prefix not being part of the reference field is prone to fail
         when the reference changes
       => prefer a solution per extension
     * Rephrase "Insert Reference To" items
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141869
       => good ideas, easyhackable
     * Explain "Type" and "Insert Reference To" elements with tooltips
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141867
       + type is self-explanatory but insert reference worth to change (Thomas)
       => do it
