Comments: Stuart, Eyal, Cor, Regina
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
