     * Autofilter enables deselect items automatically when typing a search
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133836
       + Patch https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/159737
       + change All into All Selected (downside is an additional click)
       + add checkbox "[x] Auto Select" (downside is a more heavy UI)
       + consider experienced users who expect current behavior (Ady)
       + check other tools too (Hossein)
       + combining searches is only possible with the new functionality (Bogdan)
       => comment on BZ
    
     * The term "Track changes" is being used ungrammatically
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158289
       + "Record Track Changes" vs "Record Tracked Changes" or
         "Record Change Tracking"
       + "Change Tracking", and better under tools (Charles, John)
       + term is used by MSO, not worth the effort (Stuart, Heiko)
       + MS Word uses "Track changes" Google Docs: "review suggested
         edits" (Miklos)
       + "Track Changes" sounds good to me, "Manage Change Tracking"
         for example, or "Previous Change Tracking" (Sahil)
       + some effort to implement
       => WF
    
     * Forced to pick from the existing Impress templates - need to
       ad a Light and a Dark template
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155609
       + possible if background is transparent via Tools > Color >
         Light/Dark (Bogdan, Heiko)
       + still some ambiguity since probably light background is
         expected on export (Hossein)
       + and we ship some dark templates such as Portfolio
       => WFM
    
     * Copy SVG Code Directly into LibreOffice to Render Pictures
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41119
       + Insert > From Clipboard or Paste Special > As Text
       + why copy/paste the code when you can have the full
         image; better suited for an extension (Samuel)
       + add function similar to "Import MathML from Clipboard" (Regina)
       + allows to tweak and inspect the SVG code (Stuart)
       + wonder what happens when one pastes just a part on top
         of an existing image, -1/WF (Heiko, Hossein)
       + if editing when pasting complex content is the natural next step,
         would we also allow to modify ODF or HTML data (Hossein)
         + Pasting without editing would be meaningless, and those together
           requires big effort (Hossein)
       + not much interest in this feature over the years
       => resolve WF
    
     * Shapes-via-Gallery is problematic & partially redundant with
       the Shapes sub-toolbars and sidebar
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158253
       + no point in changing the Gallery (Stuart)
       + the Gallery is a place for various content being sorted currently
         by tasks mostly; if we remove the line drawings, for example, it might
         become more polished but we loose functionality; nevertheless
         some items might be worth to challenge (Heiko)
       + categorization is in fact not perfect but providing improvements to
         the Gallery is beyond one ticket (Hossein)
       + not a fan of removing content rather better categorization (Hossein)
       => ticket not actionable => WF
