Tickets/Topic

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135062 + right click on menu items not familiar neither discoverable, WF (Heiko) + changing features at place make sense (Patrick) + low benefit for high effort however => WF (Patrick) + disagree with the request too; no app has such a feature in the menu (Sascha) => WF
 * Add individual close button to recent document list

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131392 + absolute or relative, one is always wrong; search in case of missing links or WF + maybe let the user search for the reference (Heiko, Patrick) + templates usually remain on the same place; there is Tools > Options > Load/Save > General > URLs relative to file system to switch between relative and absolute path (Sascha) + sharing documents with other users requires relative path and templates at a safe place (Sascha) + would be nice to show this setting (or be able to change on the fly) while saving (Sascha) + decide whether relative or not per input of full path? + bad solution as barely discoverable (Heiko) + very uncommon as path is specified above (Krunoslav) + expert option, feedback not urgently needed (Patrick) => WFM; maybe a topic for the help
 * Linked templates shouldn't obey "Save URLs relative to file system" option

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113932 + special line selection feature as known from MSO or keep it (WF) + Cursor right instead of IBeam (Thomas) + vote for introducing the functionality for lines; should work the same for tables (cursor changes to pointing rigth and row is selected on click) (Patrick, Krunoslav, Sascha) + extend the selection area up to the document margin but unlike MSO not beyond to distinguish between page and (desk) background and to allow drawing a selection rectangle as known from Draw => go for it
 * Make Select text by clicking in Margins MSO compliant

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102839 + see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99750 + mockup attached to tdf#102839; tdf#99750 rather a WF (Heiko) + integrate slideshow presenter on/off in the slideshow options tdf#135089 + show on presentation too? + wouldn't do if the console is active (Patrick) + running into trouble with either too small info or hiding content + not a big deal if shown for just a few second (Sascha) + maybe a progressbar of total time going down with time (Krunoslav) + would be a cool extension but should be user-configurable + Timeboxing selection options (like 5min or 10 min) + Times should be customizable (for a 1 hour presentation a user might have different needs) (Patrick) + Implement it as "Reminder after:" + Timer/reminder per slide (tdf#99750) + uncommon use-case, better implement as extension => AI: update mockups, continue discussion on tickets
 * UI presenter console - Feature request: Countdown timer
