Tickets/Topic

* Show information when a range has been defined (applies to Sort, Filter...) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132521 + range is highlighted right now; issue not easy to reproduce (Sascha) + feedback doesn't hurt, however (Heiko) => if sorting happens in a range, it shall be shown in the sort dialog maybe just "Sorting will happen in the active range only"

* Sidebar property deck string is to generic + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137078 + No good alternative, no urgent need to change (Heiko) + Styles - no, Attributes - no benefit, Miscellaneous - misleading Document properties - duplicates existing information => WF

* Add "Color Replacer" to Writer (currently it only exists in Draw/Impress) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137214 + this function is a perfect example for an extension (Sascha, Heiko) + making it accessible via customization is not detrimental to usability (Heiko) => accepted, perhaps easyhack

* How should the a word be formatted when using autocorrection (if multiple  formattings are applied) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135909 + keep current implementation, WF  + picking the first letter for the format, as today, is expectable (Sascha) + any other character or keeping the complex formatting would be intrasparent with too many exceptions (and hard to implement) + the use case is way too much far-fetched (Sascha) => WF, rather INVALID

* ENHANCEMENT: Add a lock to caption frame; so frame being image (as prevention  for unintended changes within the frame) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135884 + frame style > frame/graphics has Protect: Position, Size; enable by default? + side note: the modified frame style is not applied correctly => bug + unclear use case (Sascha) + to avoid accidental moving images? + changing the default makes it hard for Benjamin-users to move images + typical use case is to insert graphic, position correctly and then block it, done by switching on the protection (eg per dedicated frame style) => WF
