 * LibreOffice Open Source aspects

+ Doodle for design session --> https://beta.doodle.com/poll/dc8aphpdzwq7f2zu + please at least enter your name if no time is good for you
 * Design Session planned about numbering/bullets

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112175 + see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112324 + Proposed HIG draft: + When the combobox/dropdown is on the main form, changes should not become effective until the user leaves the control, or collapses the open widget. + On secondary dialogs changes are applied immediately, e.g. when another list entry is selected by mouse wheel or arrow keys. + reasons: performance, don't care but MS doesn't function that way, safety as changes may not be intended + better always update immediately on any change (Heiko) + live preview is available in secondary dialogs (Jay) => keep the status quo and write HIG; but deveval first
 * Guideline for dropdown selection

Tickets

+ Rulers for margins instead of padding + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111779 + current way is useful (Stuart, Jay) => design additional ruler "modes", responding to object content (e.g. padding) provide configuration (component View or Expert config) to toggle ruler behavior
