Tickets/Topics
* Word completion privacy/security: Do not collect words from
password-protected documents
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168718
+ option to remove collected words is available (Stuart)
+ words are not stored in the document but the list is generated
or amended when loaded; question is whether we want potentially
privacy-relevant words to be loaded (Heiko)
+ could be solved by disabling the "[ ] Collect Words" checkbox
temporarily (Heiko)
+ do not even enable for ordinary documents neither on load nor
on type, resp. disable by default (Eyal, Phillip, Ted)
+ maybe a switch for various settings between privacy-focused and
convenience oriented users (Phillip)
+ privacy is paramount; setting is potentially unknown (John)
=> comment
* Support conditional ignoring of some aspects of cell text for
autocomplete matching
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168815
+ way too much fine-tuning (Heiko, Jan)
+ other languages than Latin-based require this, eg. the punctuation
of אֱיָל vs. אי (Eyal)
+ MS Excel distinguishes between with/without punctuation
+ could imagine some Levenshtein on/off switch (Heiko)
+ but we need to fine-tune the search (Eyal)
+ we need to support the non-Latin community (John)
=> comment
* Interpret long/repeated mouse clicks with no movement as attempt
to access backwards object
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168806
+ interesting idea (Stuart)
+ going through the z-order is done per alt+left click;
gestures are not suited on desktops in general (Heiko, Jan)
+ implement the alt+click interaction for sw/sc too (Regina)
+ everything should be discoverable (John)
+ long press goes into some drag mode where together with ctrl
it's possible to copy objects (Heiko)
=> resolve WF
* Ability to import and export a chart's color palette
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168809
+ introduced recently without reference to Bugzilla in
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/184265
+ import/export probably comes later
+ dislike the multitude of palettes (tools > options > chart > palette,
color palettes: chart palette, chart theme, etc.) and would appreciate
one, either providing all colors or just a subset - but one type
of extension/integration (Heiko)
+ use case of having one look and feel across different charts
is not questionable (Eyal, Heiko)
+ colors should be stored in the document (Sahil)
=> to new, and make aware to developers
