    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Auto-size the "Search Results" dialog (after a find & replace across
       multiple sheets) to avoid scrolling
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157207
       + use ellipsis too (Stephane)
       + emphasizing the text that is explicitly being searched (Ady)
         + bug 157227
       + agree with the request to use more of the display (Stuart)
       + wrapping might be another idea (Rafael)
         + rather not because makes reading more difficult (Sahil)
       + ellipsis at start and end to bring the search term into the view (Felix)
       + simple solution covers most cases (and can be done as easyhack) (Cor)
       + ellipsis hinders reading the text, eg. if the search term is near end (Cor)
       + dialog is good as it, width should be adjusted carefully (Hossein)
       + With various scaling factors (2x, 3x, etc.) and different DPIs (HiDPI)
         these days, the issue of too big / too small dialogs and the need to add
         scrolling can also be seen elsewhere (Hossein)
       => resize the dialog if the content takes more space but only up to a
          reasonable width
    
     * CALC UI: Menu item "View headers" in menu "View" named wrong
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159738
       + changed because of the Notebookbar
         a) have a dedicated NotebookbarLabel
         b) change back and accept the longer label
            + or hide the View Header command in the NB variant
         c) change the UI label to "View Headers"
         d) accept the situation, ie. NAB/WF
       + a) sounds good but c) could be a quick solution here (Rafael)
         + probably with some tooltip (Heiko)
       + a) is okay but prefer d) rather than c) (Cor)
         + nitpicking anyway; tooltip is good (Rafael)
       + icon on the command would be nice (Felix)
       => add a tooltip "Toggle row/column header on/off" to command
          and the tools > options dialog
    
     * UI: A button to expand the animation picker dialog to dedicated dialog
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145038
       + icons may help, even in the current form, in sidebar (Hossein)
       + icon view like at the transition deck sounds good (Rafael)
       + dedicated dialog needed for notebookbar-only variants (Sahil)
       + on the long run we should add some styles-like widget for
         animations as known from MSO (Hossein)

     * Reworking of dialogues Organize macros (make from 5 existing only one)
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120658
       + Issue is worse than that considering Python, and APSO (Hossein)
       + Most things (editing, etc.) are not usable for Python, even with
         5 dialogs (Hossein)
       + Every change should have in mind that it is about macro programming in
         general, and not only BASIC scripting (Hossein)
       + unified dialogs are not always easier to use (Cor)
       + suggested proposal is difficult to implement and suspect a lot of
         side effects (Rafael)
       + APSO is the way to go for Python at least (Rafael, Hossein)
