    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Several Calc menu commands are available in Read-Only mode
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155434
       + it's about to grey out items that cannot be used (Eyal)
       => makes sense
    
     * Edit Index Entry dialog: Replace "Apply" button with "Reset"
       button and make "Close" apply automatically
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155471
       + consistency is prime, keep Apply but add Ok (Dieter)
       + no indication when changes are applied (eg not in case of
         Close) => warn if Close is pressed without Apply/Next (Eyal)
       + how about labeling with "Previous <= => Next (and Apply)" (Heiko)
       + no urgent need for adding Reset (Eyal, Heiko)
       + Apply could be removed (Heiko)
       + we could disable Apply if no changes are made (Eyal)
       + Apply is handy if one doesnt want to press next/prev (Eyal, John)
       => resolve WF and suggest follow-up tickets
    
     * Option to Disable Overwrite Mode (Insert Key)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155561
       + standard behavior, Overwrite is shown in the statusbar (Heiko)
       + draw attention the first time users do it (John, Eyal)
       + MSO has an option to enable insert/overwrite (but doesn't show
         any indicator, neither as different cursor not in the statusbar)
       => show a warning dialog the first time overwrite is enabled; okay
         button must not be in focus
    
     * How many copies you want of something should not be hidden in
       the print dialog
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147514
       + the dialog remembers the expanded state (Stuart)
       + the dialog is too large, expanding by default makes the content
         scroll; moving single items into the non-expandable part breaks
         relation (Heiko)
       + swap include and number of copies (Eyal, John)
       + check display size and expand the section and resize the dialog
         if possible (Hossein)
       + changing the number of pages is a more common use case than
         include odd/even (John, Eyal)
       + keep collation in the collapsed section (Eyal)
       + rename first "More" to "Collation and Paper Size", and the second
         "Pages per Sheet"
       => do this
    
     * Set paragraph style drop down is able to create new styles,
       which is unconventional (and not fitting the label)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155729
       + disable style creation; just search for styles (Heiko)
       + similar for fonts- typing another font name is possible even
         if it doesnt exists
       + open a dialog and ask users what to do; disagree with
         removal (Eyal)
         + MSO has no similar option for styles but for font names- it
           shows a dialog if the font not exists whether it should be used
           anyway
           + It had in Office 2003, but not now (Hossein)
         + function is useful if the sidebar is not open (replaces
           the somewhat hidden "New from Selection")
         + allow renaming the current style? (Heiko) not needed (John, Eyal)
       => show the dialog with yes/no option
