    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Cannot resize graphical objects that overlap header/footer
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159543
       + change drag handles (Bob, Cor)
       + UI should give proper feedback (Sahil)
       + could be done by disabling the vertical and diagonal resize
         capability (which hides the size cursor then)
       + people may complain handles disappear; suggest NAB/WF (Rafael)
       + rather than hiding the handles we should block resizing before
         drag happens so the lower edge remains at the bottom (Rafael)
       + looks like a bug to me; suggest to show an infobar when the
         mouse is released but resize not accepted (Sahil)
       + infobar is disruptive here (Rafael)
       + change the drag frame color if the new size is not
         accepted/possible (Rafael)
       => do this
    
     * Changing Macro Security level should warn about the need to reload
       the file to apply the settings
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159985
       + Reload in the background for all documents is not possible
         since changes may have been made (Mike)
       + show infobar requesting the user to reload (Eyal)
       + show a label in the macros security option dialog (Rafael, Sahil)
         + could also be the restart now confirmation box (Heiko)
       => majority votes for the label
    
     * close all (documents / windows) Writer
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159380
       + add new command but just for customization (Eyal, Rafael)
       + quit and restart (Cor)
       + close documents from all modules (Heiko)
       + alternatively show the start center while modules
         are open
       + closing all documents becomes more important if we have a
         tabbed UI (Sahil)
       => comment
    
     * Add max shrink and space width customization options to upcoming
       smart justification feature
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159923
       + as a compatibility feature any customization would deviate
         from DOCX (Heiko, Rafael, Nameless)
       + control on the paragraph level makes sense (Mike)
       + over-engineering is seldom good usability; no use case and
         no user request (yet) (Heiko)
       => resolve WF
