    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Calc: default anchor everything to CELL
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160452
       + change default needs to have good reasons (Heiko)
       + add option to define the default is over-engineering (Heiko)
       + behavior my have changed in the past (Hossein)
     => resolve WF; suggest to change the topic into "remember last setting"
    
     * When opening Advanced filter dialog the "From" field should be
       filled with the address of current selection
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150937
       + reasonable request (Ady)
       + confusing label "Read Filter Criteria From" (Ady)
         + more common label is possible, eg. "Select Range"
           but unlikely to be more clear (Heiko)
       + prefilling data does not harm (Hossein, Heiko)
     => go for it
    
     * Using clone formatting enables scrolling with the mouse -- but it shouldn't
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99608
       + "issue" happens only when moving slowly from top, where moving the
         cursor on top makes sense
       + smooth scrolling rather than to jump to a certain position could
         be a solution (Hossein)
     => suggest to duplicate with 46988
    
     * Turn on "Range contains column labels" by default
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150027
       + different scenarios, requires more intelligent function (Brian)
       + remember last user choice for this option (Eyal)
       + controls got moved to the same tab for bug 131155 (Heiko)
       + option is checked if header-like data is detected (Cor)
         + apparently only on Windows, on Linux the last settings are remembered
       + the dialog has always stored the last settings, unclear report (Cor)
     => keep the smart functionality, resolve invalid
    
     * Add timer/clock to single-screen presentation
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160227
       + makes sense (Rafael)
       + unclear why the timer needs to be shown for the audience
       + presenter console uses own class/control
       + neither available in Excel, feature would lack compatibility
     => resolve WF in favor of 3rd party extension/macro
    
     * Right-clicking to select an always-shown comment in Calc "clicks through"
       and selects the cell behind it
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160290
       + to hide the object first requires additional clicks (Ady)
       + it's not necessary to hide the comment, one can move it easily (Sahil)
       + right click to select is not common interaction (Heiko)
       + respect the z-order (Jeff, Stephane, Heiko, Hossein)
     => do as requested
