Comments: Thomas, Sascha, Dave, Mike, Dieter
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
