     * MRU and SC add option to sort recent documents alphabetically
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154985
       + some advanced options ooO.Common > History but not alpha sort (Stephane)
       + rather pining documents to the top of the MRU list
         (bug 38742) (Stuart, Cor)
       => WF, we better do the favorite/pinning thing
    
     * FLUID page number indication option: on / off
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153777
       + was "Page 1-2 of 3" and has been changed for bug 90150 (Jim)
       + no problem with "1 and 2 of 3" (John)
       + OP seems to understand* the information as if the number indicates
         where the cursor is but it indicates the view (Cor)
         *) "and then, you'll .. EVERY time.."
       + MSO gives feedback where the cursor is; should be done somehow (Hossein)
       => NAB/WF
    
     * Insert caption dialog doesn't offer controlling the first number
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154896
       + field numbers can be edited later but no good reason
         why not possible on insertion (Dieter)
         + You have to edit all the fields, and not a single one (Hossein)
       + primary workflow is to insert a caption as quick and easy as possible;
         also afraid of adverse effect for master documents (Heiko)
       + experts can do macro programming or other tricks (Hossein)
       => WF/NAB
    
     * New feature: set the source/scope of AutoComplete search
         (UI Tools > AutoInput)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155016
       + add option to autocomplete not only based on current column
         but the whole sheet; no good reason to block (Heiko)
       + autocomplete in large spreadsheets is not advisable (Hossein)
       + makes sense, but should be optional (John)
       + simple workaround is to add the word list at the bottom of the
         needed column in the new sheet (Cor)
       + being afraid of performance issues (Heiko)
       => WF/NAB
    
     * Rename Format - Description menu item
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155044
       + rename to "Accessibility Description" (Heiko, Bogdan)
       + dislike this and suggest "Alt Text" (Stuart)
         + "Alt Text" would be tech-talk (Gabor)
         + A description would be useful for all users who care about this (Cor)
         + "Alt Text" is used in MSO at the a11y sidebar (Heiko)
         + "Alternative Text" found at U.S. university web sites
         + "Alt Attribute" Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_attribute
       => go with "Alt Text"; add hint for translators
