     * Add .uno:VRuler button to NB Tabbed/Tabbed Compact cutomize View list
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160694
       + use main menu (Stuart)
       + suggest to split uno:Rulers into VRuler and HRuler and make the two
         individual settings in tools > options > view as well as a dropdown
         with both options in the tabbed NB (and the classic UI) (Rafael, Hossein)
    + If you click on the button, it enable/disable both. But it you choose dropdown, you should be able to select horizontal/vertical separately and check/uncheck them.
       + vertical ruler are rather a frequently changed option and don't deserve
         a main spot on the UI (Heiko)
       => majority for the dropdown solution
    
     * Quickfind sidebar: Make the sidebar the default for ctrl+F
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160544
       + not replacement but supplement; unfinished and not appealing (Stuart, Eyal)
       + matter of how the state of the sidebar is preserved after using (Cor)
       + option to switch makes sense (Rafael, Cor)
       + unfinished, at least accessibility needs improvements (Rafael)
       => add the option but leave the current quickfind as default
    
     * Allow choosing the page style from the sheets tab
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160920
       + simplifying not needed as this is an expert workflow (Stuart)
       + page style can be changed via status bar > page style dialog (Ady)
    + but not picked, which is the case in Writer (right click on status bar) (Cor)
       + Writer lists the available PgS per right click on the SB and allows
         to pick one; makes sense to add in Calc too (Rafael)
         + easy hackable (Sahil)
         + willing to look into this one (Cor)
       => do it
    
     * Right clicking on selected text unselects it if the cursor is on a
       misspelled word
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98902
       + same workflow as LibO in MS Word (Hossein)
       + suggested selection of the misspelled word is superior (Hossein)
       + drawback is that we cannot check phrases anymore, or can we? (Heiko)
       + maybe ctrl + right click for spell checking (Sahil)
       + bug reporter was unhappy with Impress, which is wrong and
         WF (Rafael, Hossein)
       + but rather unhappy about the inconsistency, which is an issue (Sahil)
       + to remove the selection might be "surprising" to users and we could add
         some additional overlay color as MSO does (grey for select + red on hover
         for spellcheck issue) (Hossein)
