Tickets/Topics

* When clicking an Insert-shape button, focus is wrong + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149341 + the toolbar "insert shapes" command remains active while you can draw multiple shapes in Writer; and escape cancels this + once drawing the shape is finished, the tool should no longer be    selected in the sidebar, and return to selection mode by     pressing Esc (Rafael) => sounds good (Cor)

* Make the selection behavior when double-clicking a word a user preference + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149254 + include the trailing space on double-click (and insert back in case    of overtyping)? + keyboard use with ctrl+shift+left/right includes the space and we should do the same for the mouse (Cor) + if so, have an option for it    + nope => do it

* Proposal for slight change in position and label of controls in the Position dialog for objects + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149407 + a) "From left" of "Paragraph area" by "0.70cm" (Seth)    + to => of makes sense (Cor)     + "to" does not fit always, eg. with "left of entire page" (Heiko)     + change wont improve the understandability (Cor)   + b) Align "Paragraph area" to "From left" with offset "0.70cm" (Eyal) + unclear how it works in other languages and can of worms (Cor) => recommend to not change (WF) but no string objection if someone volunteers; better do smaller steps

* Change submenu label for formatting textboxes and shapes in  Calc and Impress + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149414 + intention to not use the generic "object" and consistency across modules; alternative make a pseudo .uno for Calc (Seth) + any objection to change "Object and Shape" -> "Text Box and Shape" + Insert > OLE Object (but in fact Insert > Shape) barely combines with Format > Object & Shape + Text Box and Shape sounds much better => do it for all modules

* It's difficult to reach text area properties + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149411 + does the command Format > Object and Shape > Text Attributes...    need a more prominent position? + somehow misplaced in the main menu but expect it to be in    the sidebar (Eyal) + Fit width/height might be worth to add to the "Columns" deck (renaming    needed) and we could add the deck's generic property action (Heiko) + New label could be "Text" (Cor) or "Text Attributes" (Heiko) => do it
