     * As we now have a Comment style, remove/redirect "Format all comments..."
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157522
       + direct formatting might still be needed, eg. to increase the font size
         for all comments (Stephane)
         + rename to "Direct format all comments" and perhaps hide it from
           the menu but keep it; add Edit Style to the menu (Heiko)
       + turn "Format all comments" into "Edit default paragraph style for
         comments" (RGB)
       + rather open the Paragraph Style dialog for the current Comment PS (Eyal)
       + remove the command, and offer "Select All" (Cor, Eyal)
       => comment
    
     * Improve password security UX
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157518
       + implement strength meter based on existing code, do not use rules,
         consider further improvements (Jan)
         + https://keepass.info/help/kb/pw_quality_est.html
       + have an "unmask password" icon (Jan)
       + have a policy to provide companies a way to not allow simple
         passwords (Cor, Gabor)
       + show strength meter with tooltips what do to (Eyal, Heiko)
       + perhaps split the bug (Eyal)
       => comment
    
     * Method to clear search text drop down list in Base form
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157039
       + remember search during the session (Heiko)
       + store it in the database (Robert)
       => fix depending on effort
    
     * Writer: repeat first column of a table on subsequent pages
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157301
       + table don't flow left/right to the next page (Cor)
       + OP is not a CTL user but wants to split a wide table
         across multiple pages
       + theoretically it might be possible "If a table does not fit
         on a single page, a set of adjacent table columns can be
         automatically repeated on every page..."
       + Calc provide means to achieve this via Print Range > Row/Columns
         to repeat (Cor)
       + don't worth the effort, unless the OP can explain why implementing
         this in Writer in necessary (Eyal)
       => WF
