    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Allow entering textbox edit mode with single click instead
       of double-click
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153749
       + ideally we consistently implement single click to activate
         the (text box) object vs. double click to enter the edit mode
       + Impress/Draw has the option General > Allow quick editing (Heiko)
       + Excel works as requested and single click goes into edit mode and
         one has to grab the frame to move (Hossein)
       + bad idea for charts as it results in unintentional editing (Eike)
         + see also bug 141841
       + oppose to change the global default and opposing a quick editing
         mode for charts (Eyal)
       => implement as an option, off by default for Calc and Writer, and
          on for Impress/Draw as of today
    
     * Writer - protected section - allow to insert content into fields
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154808
       + fields provide important features, also useful for templates (Mike)
       + one use case is to hide sections but don't delete (Kabilo)
       + unclear how to protect (Eyal)
         + in the field dialog per "[ ] Ignore protection" or
         + in the section dialog next to "[ ] Editable in read-only documents"
           per "[ ] Keep fields editable in case of protection"
       + use case is weak; the field to control hidden parts does not need
         to be in a protected section (Heiko, Hossein)
       => plenty of options, rather not do it
    
     * UI: Remediate frustration of unclear style names in style-name
       picklist contexts
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155054
       + picklist / dropdown should show hierarchy (OP, Eyal)
       + WF because of the Automatic filter option (Heiko)
       + trees are complex UI elements and detrimental to usability (Heiko)
       + request could be solved with some kind of alias; although
         the current situation is fine (Hossein)
       => resolve WF
    
     * "Growing Liberty" Impress template has a slide of unclear
       (suspicious for advertizing) nature in the end
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155390
       + keep last slide with icons, +1 (Rania, Laurent)
       + provide icons rather per Gallery, -1 (Eyal)
       + credits look like advertising, -1 (Mike, Heiko, Hossein)
       => remove the slide (1 page)
    
     * Make "Level" spinbox into a dropdown menu in the Document tab
       of "Insert - Field"
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154052
       + agree with the suggestion (Stephane, Heiko, Hossein)
       + don't mind if direct editing remains possible (Eyal)
       => do it
