     * "Page number" automatic field stops counting before last page if offset >0
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35694
       + help is clear on the function (Regina)
       + just a wording issue but rather introduce another field "page reference",
          which would have the offset attribute (Mike, Regina)
       + comment 70 and 78 are wisdom; missing a good proposal (Cor)
       + compatibility is prime (Hossein)
         + neither prev/next nor offset are stored with docx
         + MSO offsets per field code like "{={PAGE}-10} of {={NUMPAGES}*20}"
           showing "-9 of 80" (not stored as a field on saving as ODT)
       + offset for pagee count is via set variable > page + x (Heiko)
       => comment on ticket
    
     * Replies to comment are in reverse order
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160350
       + chat-like order D, C, B, A (latest on top) vs. book style
         A, B, C, D (latest at bottom) (Bogdan)
       + latest on top makes sense (Heiko)
       + current implementation shows comments on the place where they
         are made, i.e. below the comment where one chooses: reply,
         which makes sense to me (Cor)
       + all other applications do it book-like (Timur, Bogdan, Felix)
       => do it (consider an expert option)
    
     * Add toolbar icons to change UI and scheme to switch Light/Dark
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160349
       + useful for tester and user (Rafael)
         + switching only tools > application colors via the new control (Rafael)
         + fixes fallout from bug 160445
       + strongly against adding rarely used functions to the primary UI,
         options would also be hard-coded and not easy to remove later (Heiko)
       + MS has a "Switch Modes" option in the View ribbon (Hossein, Felix)
       => majority are for the option
    
     * Pressing Tab with partially selected numbered paragraphs deletes content
       instead of changing level
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160317
       + agree on the expectation (Stephane, Felix)
       + inconsistent with inserting a literal tab (Heiko)
       + compatibility is prime (Hossein)
         + tab overwrites in MSO; but tab on the first list item indents
           the whole list anyway (only second increases the level we do)
         + literal tab is inserted on any position >0, ie. inside the text
         + otherwise the level for the whole selection is increased
       + always indent for selection over multiple paragraphs (Rafael, Felix)
       + current behavior depends on selection mode, ie. adding selection inserts
         at the beginning while extend does on the end (Heiko)
       => majority agrees with the request
