* Select paragraph (quad click) causes jumping to the end
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156369
+ see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137603
+ MSO hides the caret on selection, we show it and give feedback where
it is; changing this should be done
+ not so many people requesting this change (John)
+ actually it is a frequently asked question (Heiko)
+ depends on the OS/DE how selection works (Notepad on Windows
hides the caret likewise MSO while Kate on Linux/KDE does the
same as we do, ie. show and move the caret)
+ advantage of showing the caret is better feedback; you see what has
been selected (important when the text spawns multiple pages)
+ do not change this; and if do it optional (Heiko)
=> make this request a duplicate of 137603 and comment there
* Warn when default format is changed
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90593
+ no warning when changing the default at Tools > Options > Load/Save
+ pointless in first place and common without (Bogdan, Justin)
+ saving as plain txt gives no warning but changing on SaveAs to doc
it warns; MSO gives a warning for odt (for example) even when it is the
default (together with a don't show again checkbox)
+ would expect the same as MSO for all formats but odt/fodt; the "warn when
not saving..." below should become "Do want in case of alien formats"
being controlled on the confirmation dialog
=> do so
* Wrong cell attributes assumed
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113687
+ valid request but header should be taken into account (Eike)
=> make the format of inserted rows/cols depending on the action
left/right (rather prior/after) resp. below/top
* Cannot copy formula by copying cell when displaying with Show Formula
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156357
=> assigned
* Option to REQUIRE pressing F2 or Enter to switch to cell edit mode
and ignore any data entry attempts otherwise
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155891
+ option to disallow direct input in Calc (F2 always required)
+ if implemented it should be done as expert option to make it hard
to find for average users (Hossein)
=> do ita
