    Tickets/Topics
    
     * "Text direction" in page style dialog, with both Asian and RTL-CTL,
        is inconsistent and confusing
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162200
        + agree with Regina on keep status but write better help (Cor)
        => WF
     * Table > Properties > Text Flow > Text Orientation is misphrased and confusing
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162201
       + better "writing mode" (Regina)
     => follow the expert's advice
    
     * STYLES pane -- duplicate style (an additional option beside the existing
       new style from selection
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162209
       + WF'ed before on bug 152189
       + duplication would be like new but on the same level in the hierarchy,
         support the request (Cor)
       => do it
    
     * Terrible usability of AutoText dialog when creating new AutoText
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52607
       + Source > Clipboard (added newly) should not be done as the AT
         needs to be verified in the context (Cor)
       + preview window: zoom slider for preview (Gerry)
         + disagree; the actual issue should be fixed (Heiko)
       + AutoText dialog should be amodal
         + agreed (Cor, Heiko)
       + does it make sense to modify the category while creating a new AT (Cor)
         + we should carefully avoid mixing individual attributes from one AT
           with information on the list of ATs such as categories and path;
           therefore these are split out of the AT dialog/s (Heiko)
       + is "Create AutoText out of selection" (directly) possible? (Gerry)
         + requires a category and unless we just add all new content to
           some "Standard" it needs this selection first (Heiko)
       => wait for volunteers to implement
