    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Writer allows to insert comments in footnotes in DOCX, but loses them
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157406
       + have UI settings for all similar MSO-compat options (Gabor)
       + add AllowCommentsInFootnotes and ClockwisePieChartDirection
         but not ReverseSeriesOrderAreaAndNetChart, and
         ReverseXAxisOrientationDoughnutChart (Heiko)
       => easy hack
    
     * Import & Export mechanism for the font substitution table
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157415
       + realize per extension (Jean-Francois, Heiko)
       => WF
    
     * Formula help still displayed when editing cell formatted as text
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156674
       + show tip anyway (Stephane)
       + cell reference highlighting might be misleading (Ilmari)
       + formula might be shown anyway (Heiko)
       + and the tooltip shows up only while editing; possible workflow
         is to write formulas in text mode and switch finally to number
         for execution- which makes the tooltip valuable
       => resolve WF/NAB
    
     * Cursor goes beyond margins when typing spaces at the end of a line
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155494
       + mimic MS Word that allows spaces beyond margin and off page (Telesto)
       + controversial situation; allow space, don't wrap line,
         give feedback... and the use case is very dubious (Attila)
         + not being able to add pointless spaces at the end or breaking into
           the next line was the reason for the report (William)
       + TextEdit and Pages keep the cursor at line end regardless spaces (Khaled)
       + MS Word had in the past '"Wrap trailing spaces to the next line"
         (for compatibility with WordPerfect)'; suggest to break line (Stuart)
       + make this optional (William, Heiko)
       => add optionally
