    Tickets/Topics
    
     * default file names when printing workbook in PDF
       SUGGESTION : default file names when printing workbook in PDF
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144207
       + automatically suggest a PDF file name
         + the first words of a text document does not express generally
           the contains of the document, might be sensitive (Jean-Baptiste)
         + we name documents "Untitled" when saving (Heiko)
         => don't do
      + automatically create several PDF files according to the choice indicated
        + add a checkbox below and indented under All with "[ ] Split workbook and
          create individual PDFs for every sheet", or the like (Heiko)
        + no harm in it but shouldn't be the default (John)
        => do it
    
     * Hash marks that indicate "cell too narrow" should expand according
       to the cell width
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155886
       + agree with a _minimum_ of three # marks (Ady)
       + clutters the spreadsheet (Heiko)
       + filling with ##'s is better then having the arbitrary
         three #'s (Eyal, Hossein)
       + three hashes are easier to spot (Lupe)
       + unclear use case (John)
       => comment
    
     * Warning dialog shows only once for "Record changes"
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147980
       + not only about *protection* of the recording, but also
         about *controlling* (Mike)
       + add wording about the destructive nature of the action
         in the Calc case (Eike)
       + consider removing this checkbox entirely (Eyal)
       + unclear what is being destroyed (John)
       => investigate and suggest a text
    
     * "replace custom styles" option in AutoCorrect should be removed
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140024
       + agree (Stuart, Heiko)
       + totally unclear, "Custom Styles" could be Direct Formatting (Eyal)
       + removing it wouldn't be realized by many users anyway (John)
       + the lately introduced Spotlight feature shows styles clearly (Heiko)
       + use case is maybe on receiving a document from someone else
         all "alien" styles can be converted at once (Rizal)
         + rename the option maybe (Rizal)
         + perfectly clear (Heiko, John)
         + should be better switched off by default
       => forward to documentation with suggestion to add an example
    
     * proposal-option to remove whitespace characters (other than space)
       in "paste special", "clear direct formatting", Format->Text and
       in import dialog box
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148544
       + clean() and trim() work well (Ilmari)
       + objective easy to achieve with inbuilt functions (Ady)
         + Users could also mark the undesired character as separator
           in the import dialogue and also check Merge delimiters
       + unclear use case (Eyal)
       + typically not added intentionally and suggested option
         would be convenient (Stuart, Rizal)
       => suggest to keep ticket open and wait for supporters
