     * Remove status bar 'document modified' indicator
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159073
       + status not shown in title for new documents (Eyal)
         + title does not show the status (anymore?) but the save icon
       + redundant information is not bad per se, the toolbar button is
         primarily meant to run an action but not to give feedback (users
         may not expect it there)
       + with the Notebookbar UI it's not guaranteed to see the toolbar info
       + and the statusbar icon looks pretty nice
       => WF
    
     * Comment indicator in Calc should be red, not magenta
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159096
       + border uses now the grid line color (Heiko)
       + red would be a bad choice as it typically indicates errors (Mike)
       + yellow and red might be used for cell background (Ady)
       + orange (Rafael)
       + invert the cell background color (Ryal)
         + looses the customizability and becomes difficult on mid-bright colors
       + do it just when the picked color is close to the cell background
         + algorithm is tricky, and variable colors make the display busy
       + Magenta (a bit less glossy) is used on Excel
       + Light Magenta 3 is a bit too close with "Bad" cell style,
         Light Magenta 2 is fine (Eyal, Sahil)
         + works also well in dark mode
       => change the color
    
     * Double click on a comment in Navigator should open the cell for editing
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158707
       + in 7.4 double click goes to cell
       + in 7.6 single click selects, double executes the default action-
         in this case go-to plus editing the comment
       + a) edit comment, cursor at the end?, b) edit cell, cursor at the end?,
         c) just go-to and toggle the comment visibility, d) just go-to cell
       + in most cases the comment text should be readable in the Navigator and
         double-click is likely intended to edit the comment (all)
       + expect double-click to toggle show/hide; directly going into edit mode
         feels dangerous but just showing makes editing difficult (ctrl+alt+c)
         and my muscle memory is F2 to edit; so ideally we select the comment
         frame in order to use F2 (all)
       + single click does not change the view but shows this comment temporarily
         (until clicking somewhere else), double-click navigates to the cell, make
         the comment permanently visible, and double-click again hides it; when
         showing the comment per double-click also selects the comment for easy
         accessed to edit (Eyal)
       + double-click surely should not edit the cell content (Eyal)
       + comments disappear unreliably (Sahil)
       + having comments in a dedicated sidebar allows more flexible
         solutions (Sahil)
       => comment in ticket
    
     * When search key is not found, search text seems to be selected but is not
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158742
       + behavior has changed but still no selection is being made
       + changing the search term partially is more likely, ie. selection in order
         to overwrite completely is not intended (Heiko)
       + ctrl+f selects the search text in any case (Heiko)
       + clearly NAB/WF (Eyal)
