* Add option to show 'Apply Style' menu in plain text + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62926 + extra option or combination with existing + unclear what controls would be affected (Stuart, c9) + afraid of too many options if there are more controls (Heiko) + Tools > Options > View is across modules and "Show preview of styles" would be Writer-only (Heiko) + run a poll on the blog/ml (Cor) + https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2019/08/15/poll-about-design-preview-for-dropdown-controls/ * Add the new option under Options > View, next to "Show Font Preview" 40%  (44 votes) * Combine the two (and perhaps more) controls under the same option 29.09%  (32 votes) * Don't add another option 14.55%  (16 votes) * Add the new option under Options > Writer > View 11.82%  (13 votes) * Don't add another option and also remove the exiting "Show Font Preview" 4.54%  (5 votes) + taking the 2nd and 3rd option together (combine and no new) the majority is against a new checkbox => combine the styles dropdown WYSIWYG preview with View > Font

* Safer application of options for each filter criterium in a pivot table + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125864 + having options for each of the 3 parameters is an overkill and impairing usability => WFM

+ Extend context menu in a pivot table with mark actions + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125834 + row/column selection is not limited to pivot tables + we have plenty of shortcuts to deal with data => WFM

* Support context menus for management of list entries in pivot table setup dialogue + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125826 + for accessibility it makes sense to have alternatives to the drag 'n drop actions => add context menu to field (Add to Row, Add to Column, Add to Values) and the respective options at those lists "Remove"

* Support for multiple selection of list entries in data series selection + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122007 + multiselection in the chart wizard lists makes no sense + removing entries is only necessary if the selected range has not been chosen carefully => WFM

* Extended graphical user interface for the specification of several cell areas + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122012 + add +/- buttons to the text field for more graphical interactions (Thomas) + would be the fact for all cases with multselections not only charts + manual editing is common + it wouldn't be clear how +/- buttons work, in particular what is removed => WFM

* More explanatory title for "Compare documents" file select dialog + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126618 + rename the dialog title from "Compare to" to "Original document" (OP) + "Original" is not always correct (but most time) + have an explanatory static text (Thomas) + it's just a file dialog, adding text is a bad solution (Heiko) + help talks about "original" => let's change it
