    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Sidebar panel character deck/tab doesn't allow switching / indicate
       language groups
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153991
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153992
       + we should avoid bloating the sidebar (Heiko)
       + not against (Rafael)
       + most controls are in the toolbar as well, we probably need to
         implement it as a customizable UNO command (Sahil)
       + should be only available if CTL/CJK is checked (Rafael, Heiko)
       + could be realized per dropdown before the font listbox although
         it takes some space
       + unclear what switching could mean; isn't it recognized from
         the character language only? (Heiko)
       => go for it
    
     * Add "Source Sans Pro" to fallback font list for "Aptos"
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162872
       + Source Sans Pro not bundled anymore, bug 136604,
         Metrics are nowhere near equivalent (Stuart)
         + bundling not needed (Regina)
       + decent similarity (Eyal, Cor, Regina)
       + not a good alternative yet we need some fallback (Rafael)
       => let's do it until we have a better alternative
    
     * UI : allow Alt + left / right to change width of panes as Navigator
       and Styles and formatting
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62954
       + rather drop hard-coded resizing of splitter, see bug 146906 (Heiko)
       + not aware of any place where alt+arrow change the splitter; and
         alt+left/right and top/down changes cell size in Calc (although
         not when the Stylist/Navigator is in focus) (Heiko)
       + key sequence interaction would be nice; maybe as extension (Sahil)
       + no use case, maybe accessibility? (Heiko)
       => pass over to a11y
    
     * UI Field  "Copy sort results to" in dialog Sort, tab options, missing
       button/does not allow shrinking
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113247
       + Range dropdown not labelled (Eyal)
       + whether range or address, the target is filled with the source -
         changing this is not beneficial (Heiko)
       + going with a true range rather than a plain address opens
         Pandora's box (Rafael)
       + needs to be converted to a ref dialog; shrink button can be limited
         to single cells (Rafael)
       + keep range? some users might use it (Rafael, Heiko)
       + add label "Start cell: [     ] <shrink> from: <range>"
         + if too large, just "At" would be good (Heiko)
         + or without labels or in two lines (Rafael)
       => do it
