     * EDITING:  Edit >Links is always gray/deactivated & (thus) impossible
       break link to media file using
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48294
       + simply fix the bug
       + mockup from bug 131198 is hard to follow (and does not need to
         be done in order to fix the bug) (Heiko)
      => bug
    
     * Choice of pie/donut orientation & initial angle should be offered in
       Chart wizard and/or on the sidebar
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163489
       + setting is on Options tab in the properties dialog of a
         Data Series (Regina)
       + entirely off-topic / out of scope for the wizard; there are much
         more relevant properties; WF (Heiko)
       + there is sufficient space and we present 3d options (Eyal)
       + 3d and variants are only available in this dialog (Heiko)
       + direction should be on the sidebar (Sahil)
       + nice to give people options (Lynn)
      => do it
    
     * "Delete Columns" and "Delete Rows" labels now include gratuitous
       comment "(for unprotected cells)"
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163725
       + make the additional text depending on whether a protection
         is active (Cor)
       + wonder if renaming the commands is a solution- or just NAB (Heiko)
       + the command state responds properly and is disabled if not possible
         and execution fails an error message shows up
       + info box could be more informative like
         "The range top be deleted contains protected cells. The operation
          cannot be completed."
       + the protect sheet dialog might tell "[ ] Delete columns with
         unprotected cells" (Sahil)
       + documentation needs to explain the workflow (Eyal)
      => revert bug 136003 and solve it at the protect sheet dialog
    
     * Community Discussion: UI changes for 'LibreOffice Theme' GSoC project
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163620
       + like (Stuart)
       + get inspiration from other tools like IDEs, mostly to not invent
         wheels again (Eyal)
       + name the main entry Appearance rather than Personalization (Eyal)
       + Remove next to Add is not needed and could be better Modify (Sahil)
       + extensive list of theme previews might be confusing and could
         be replaced by a simple list or a dropdown (Lynn)
      => go for it
