Tickets/Topic

* Questionable Default for Bullet Sizing + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92657 + issue descender of Opensymbol larger than Liberation not confirmed in c22 but c24 + difference between uno bullet_on and uno bullet_style + how to progress? + wfm (cannot confirm the issue), nab (if there is a difference it's up to the font designer), wf (smaller bullet size is not a solution) + only solution is to use the actual paragraph font for the bullets; and accept no bullet if the font has none (unclear if bullet character is detectable) + maybe we can cut the bullet height at the line height from the paragraph (Patrick) => remove UX

* Possibility to have several grids activable and deactivable easily (as in Inkscape for instance) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130995 + wfm as users can create grids in templates and customization of multiple grids become hairy + no opinion (Patrick) + make it easier with an UNO command that opens a dialog to set the grid size (Andreas) + would be nice to have in the notebookbar (Patrick) + also feasible to have it at the sidebar, perhaps page/slide => do it

* Unify terms in dialog to search text + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131369 + a) "Match case" or "Case Sensitive", but consistently    + Match case (Adolfo)     + We _match_ cases (Mathew)     + many other apps use match (Patrick)   + b) Title style capitalization in AutoRedaction dialog + defintiely needed to change + c) "Regular expression" (no plural)    + singlular is better   => easyhack

* Musical notes as a gallery + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131418 + easy to include the notes and a respective template, for sure not as perfect as dedicated apps + or wf as there is no immediate need and perhaps out of scope + follow the survey from https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2015/04/02/libreoffice-design-session-shapes/ and do as extension (Andreas) => out of scope

* Wrong text highlight color when export document to doc/docx + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125268 + WFM (Tamaz, c7); more detailled warning perhap + introduce a MSO compatible palette and show only this at character properties when a flag is set at tools > options > compatibility (Gabor) + patch has been submitted meanwhile but might be reverted + we must solve the issues of other apps; limiting ourself is bad; at any point in time MSO might change the behaviour + rather than coping with the problem we should inform in detail what setting will fail when saving as MSO; would require some kind of document analyzer, meaning a lot of effort => comment on ticket

* Index: Implement letter by letter alphabetising + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131315 + different/additional sorting algorithm; prolly a dev topic + UI wise the new sorting option could go to "key type" so no issue when it is introduced => go for it

* Cannot modify preinstalled galleries + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131529 + no gallery at all would feel like a broken app + installing galleries without a tight integration is not an easy task neither for non-beginners + actual issue of making shipped galleries writable could be solved in a different way => discuss at ESC
