     * in automatic filter, add the number of the first row where the value appears
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157331
       + proposal is to show the first occurrence in addition/alternatively to the
         total number the first occurrence (tdf#149984)
       + suggest to ask in a forum/ask-libreoffice for good solutions - and request
         a change if none is found (Cor)
       + computational effort sounds to be low; real estate on dialog seems to be
         possible though somewhat cluttered; wouldn't reject the request but
         recommend to not start work unless more users are interested (Eyal)
       + would WF the request; searching is easy and showing the total number
         more relevant (Heiko)
       => keep ticket and comment
    
     * Cell / font formatting lost when data linked from external data
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150414
       + if external source has formatting it should be taken into the reference,
         if not it must not clear the internal format (Eyal)
       + make the two feature behave in exactly the same way and provide an
         option to  use the source formatting (Stephane)
       + better documentation needed (Heiko)
       + topic is very difficult to understand and probably needs more
         investigation (Cor)
       => follow Stephane's suggestion
    
     * The arrowhead control in the sidebar line section is difficult to notice
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157882
       + sidebar is crowded anyway, suggest to not have every single attribute
         there (Heiko)
         + cap style / corner style are even less likely changed by users (Eyal)
       + control is difficult to notice but tooltip makes the functionality
         obvious (Cor)
       => improve by moving the current control into a new line, drop cap/corner
         style, and keep splitting the control for later
