    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Enable 'Extended Tips' on Tools -> Options -> General by default
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162296
       + agree in principle, suggest to add an entry in the Help menu
         to toggle extended tips more easily (Olivier)
         + could be some toggle menu item (Per)
       + KDE still has issues with long extended tips and looks ugly (Olivier)
       + good idea (Miguel, Stuart, Rafael)
       + bad idea (Regina)
         + yellow rectangles whatever you do
       + ordinary tooltips also have no proper hidedelay/pause/? (Heiko)
       + how about accelerator to add the extended tip (Sahil)
         + wouldn't be a benefit for newbies (Heiko)
       => do it
    
     * Possibility to Find and Replace on Validity Formulas
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160506
       + functionality would not be clear (Ady)
       + preferably as another color for View > Value Highlighting (Heiko)
         + clashes with existing highlight, ie. blue numbers become red validations
       + niche request (Sahil)
       + indication could also be on the cell like for comments (Heiko)
       + F&R would require to turn validation into some kind of named object like
         styles and to replace one by another, as known from paragraph styles
         in Writer (Heiko)
       + OP has not responded suggest to set NEEDINFO flag (Eyal)
       => comment and set flag
    
     * Master document for Impress
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142904
       + links could be a solution (Regina)
       + mockup for Presentation Manager (PM) (Heiko)
       + wonder if OP really wants a Master Document and suggest to resolve
         this ticket and open another with a PM (Eyal)
       + could be done as extension or in a gsoc project (Eyal)
       + also possible as standalone tool and perhaps agnostic of
         any format (Sahil)
       => share the idea, seek for input
