     * Emphasize the entry the mouse pointer is over in the Writer
       Navigator content tree
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152775
       + question is not whether to highlight the content in the document
         but to draw the tree node in bold (Ilmari)
       + no reason, no use case, WF (Heiko)
       + unclear whether the boldness requires the node to be clicked (Cor)
         + if so, it would be inconsistent with hoover = highlight feature
       => comment and ask for a use case
    
     * Rename "Chapter -> Heading" and "E# -> H#" in Entries tab of
       Insert Table of Contents, Index, Bibliography dialog
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153561
       + naming of entries (E) and headings (E#) is confusing, change to H#?
       + see also bug 153712 for CI => HI and bug 148597 for captions
       + changing C to H should be consistent over all kind of indices (Cor)
       => go ahead
    
     * Calc 7.5 tiny formula bar font for japanese
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153727
       + allow changing the font size or all font attributes?
       + see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88141
       + see comment 17 for options
       + WFM (Stuart)
       + follow the cell format d) (Adolfo)
         + would result in terrible jumping UI (Ady)
       + duplicate of 88141 and valid (Cor)
         + prefer a generic option, b) from the list (Cor, Stuart)
       + prefer a dedicated solution aka f), meaning a special place for
         long text or showing per tooltip (Heiko)
       + variant c), some kind of zoom feature on the formula bar eg. ctrl+wheel,
         would be hard to figure out and lacks on feedback (Heiko)
       + following the document zoom factor aka e) is acceptable, however (Heiko)
         + has been removed for bug 127066 (Stuart)
       + remember to keep the UI simple (John)
       => make a dup and comment on 88141
    
     * Support/default to a non-white page background in Dark Mode
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153334
       + duplicate of bug 152184 (Stephane)
         + convincing argument is to use the night shift and expect the app
           colors to follow (Heiko)
       + ditch the ability to create own AC (Heiko)
         + switching between two color sets require it to be available
           but the current implementation allows to have any number and name;
           you cannot trust in these user-defined sets; making it a hard-coded
           is the only way to ensure two colors per item are available
       + simplification is desirable, just a switch for light/dark (John)
       + people use the color scheme customization option (Cor)
       + suggest to trust in the predefined scheme names and if there is
         no "LibreOffice Dark" scheme a warning would be shown (Cor)
       => comment
    
     * Groupedbar Compact UI : missing "columns..." entry of the
       "format" menu of the menu bar
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151430
       + add Format > Columns / .uno:FormatColumns to the UI or the menus
       + adding items should be balanced with the need, add only if crucial
         for the work (John)
       + add to the Insert menu (Heiko, Cor)
       => do it
