    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Lowercase "a" and uppercase "A" wrongly shows as one "a" in
       Autofilter dropdown
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159737
       + AutoFilter follows the setting in the Standard Filter (Ady)
       + a) WF/NAB, b) description, c) configuration (Mike)
       + not so clear whether case-sensitivity works (Rainer)
       + would expect case-sensitivity (John)
       + users might be not aware of uppercase character/word if
         we hide it; rather let the user uncheck (Heiko)
       + all options better go to the full filter dialog (Sahil)
       + Excel shows items case-sensitive (John)
       + make it independent from standard filter option (Heiko)

     * UI: Cell protection dialog reference menu that don't exist
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159748
       + remove this part from the string (Heiko, Timur)
       + menu does exists; against changing the string (Ady, Stuart)
       + point to the help page (Tomaz)
         + against this hint to "use the help content" (Ady)
         + link to the appropriate help pages is reasonable (Stuart)
         + idea was probably to have a hyperlink in the string
       + alternatively change the label depending on the UI mode,
         or amend the existing text with the Notebookbar solution (Eyal)
       + sheet/cell protection is not for beginners and we can expect
         users to learn the function (Sahil)
       => preferably use a more generic description
    
     * Manage changes dialog should allow action on all filtered changes
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115515
       + WFM/INV, at least from the sidebar (Heiko)
       => resolve ticket
    
     * Consistent polygon tool behavior in Draw
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131758
       + (1) how to finish the input: easy to miss and hard to undo (Eyal)
          + perhaps have some interaction to undo the last point
          + edit points allow to remove unwanted
       + (2) finishing methods: MSO ends polygon as well per double-click
          but also on escape
       + (3) close a polyline: by ctrl+click? in any case up to documentation
       + (4) how to enter PolyPoly-mode: same answer as above
       + (5) Is it really intended... obviously no user has joined the discussion
       + users tend to accept shortcomings and we might do better (Eyal)
       + would rather think of a list that takes all points and allows to edit
         independently from the interaction method (Heiko)
       + giving a hint on the interaction at the command label? not so good (John)
       + any change needs to be a convincing improvement (Eyal)
       + Inkscape behavior is similar to our workflow
