Comments: Stuart, Rainer, Cor, Regina, Telesto

Tickets/Topics

 * Having "Enable word completion" and "Collect words" options separated
   doesn't make sense to me
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145044
   + collect words without enabling word completion?
   + use collected words without collecting new (Cor)
   + and collect without word completion? (Heiko)
   => better keep it

 * There are no "Deletions in margin" and "Insertions in margin" items
   in some Edit-Track changes submenu
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151665
   + menu access to show TC on/off plus inline vs. margin?
   + replacing the simple show by a choice of four options sounds wrong (Heiko)
   => better keep it simple

 * Better UX to insert and manage playing an audio stream/soundtrack
   in background for entire ODF presentation
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151394
   + slide transition sounds is played until it ends which allows to
     use this feature as background music (Rainer)
   + the access is clunky and hard to figure out, however (Stuart)
     + effect must be finalized before applying the sound
     + must not be "Applied to all slides".
     + can only be applied to the first slide of a sequence
     + looping needs very precise timing
     + audio file is not embedded into the ODF presentation
   + what other features are needed?
     + showing in an automatic presentation until when exactly the music is
       playing having a use case in mind where photos are shown in a loop
     + driving the slide progress per audio with the idea to record a
       presentation
   => introduce an extra dialog/interaction, allow to stop and loop playback

 * Better distinguish shape text from shape name
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151691
   + need to change the naming scheme "<type> '<name>': <text>"
     or do some larger modification
   + don't see a problems here (Regina)
   + better distinguish shape text from shape name (Telesto)
   + replacing the type name with an icon or a thumbnail clutter the dialog
     too much; showing the information in multiple lines or in a tabular view
     might solve this problem - which is not relevant for many - and introduce
     other issues
   => better not change the view

 * Toolbar button for enclosing text in () brackets
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151710
   + UNO command vs. autocorrect function or realize per extension
   + if possible, add as autocorrect function
     + put selected text into brackets with (), [], and {}
     + insert single character if nothing is selected
     + might be confusing that overwriting is not possible and should
       be off by default therefore
   => do it
