Tickets/Topics
* Mark page center on horizontal and vertical rulers
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148128
+ some indicator on the ruler and/or snaplines in Writer
+ good idea (Cor, Csongor) but(?) maybe as snap positions for helpline
+ no good workflow for Writer, precise handling done with Draw anyway
+ helplines do the trick out of the box (Heiko)
=> WF, but keep open for a while
* Allow reorder of Sections using the Navigator
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148236
+ unclear use case, can of worms (Heiko)
+ fun to have, but unclear how to position in relation to other content (Cor)
+ request to drag one section into another one likely WF
=> remove UX, suggest WF
* Missing/unexposed ability to explicitly set the "language group"
of a piece of text
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148257
+ matter of principle as it does not make sense that setting a direction
also sets the language and changing the direction of a run of text
must not change its font (Eyal)
+ cannot judge on challenging the code basis (Heiko)
=> remove UX
* Page Area in Start Center Does Not Respect Application Colors Scheme
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148282
+ Start center’s hard-coded color scheme doesn’t work for
high-contrast mode users
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99116
+ thumbnails don't pick up the document colors (Rizal, Stuart)
+ waste of dev effort to recreate thumbnails on those changes (Stuart)
+ rather than using an arbitrary hard-coded color for the dialog we should
prefer the system theme, which should fit in most cases with what was
used to generate the thumbnails (Heiko)
=> fix the background color but don't update thumbs
* Page preview, need toggle button for system colours <> real colours
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139875
+ +1 (Stuart, Cor)
+ switching the colors is not a frequent interaction and well suited
at tools > options; clearly -1 (Heiko)
=> remove UX
