Tickets/Topic

* ClearDirectFormatting does not remove page break + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138628 + introduce "Clear Special" dialog, and if so with what options + go with another UNO command with interaction similar to Save/SaveAs + page break can be seen as inserting objects but is formatting (Octavio) + introduce tools > option > ? to also clean page break (Mike) + simplicity first, most users don't expect PB to be deleted with DF    so resolve WF (Heiko) + MSO behaves similar to LibreOffice and keeps page break (but also    font highlighting) with "Clear All Formatting" + Clear DF means to delete everything so do it by default (Sascha) => comment and keep

* UI: Merge Format Edit Sections with Insert Section + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138678 + dialogs are okay, command might be better placed at Edit + agree, better located at Edit and two dialogs that are the same is weird and unnecessary (Sascha) + meaning the dialog has to respond on whether an existing section is    selected (Edit) or a new name is added (Insert) + different UNO commands uno:InsertSection and uno:EditRegion and there is also uno:EditCurrentRegion => let's investigate if merging is possible

* Fix the size (number of lines) of "input line" in Calc + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137849 + easy to do and not violating UX but very special use case so maybe better suited for extension + seems not to be possible (Alain) + MSO Excel remembers the expanded state (Sascha) => let's do it

* Use GtkSpinButton for .uno:FontHeight + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138533 + have been introduced in addition to the font size combobox to easily in-/decrease the fone size + spin button means to replace the combobox and the +/- buttons + CJK uses special dropdown entries (Ming) + over-engineered controls, too large with Gtk (Adolfo, Roman) + looks nice and clean in the sidebar but for sake of consistency we'd have to change the toolbar as well and that's less appealing (Sascha) => reject for sidebar; NB can do it

* three improvements in File > Templates and associated .uno commands + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138621 + rename Open Template to Edit Template + both work for me (Heiko) + open is more precise since the template is not yet integrated into the template manager (Sascha) + icons in submenu sounds okay + add to guideline (AI: Heiko) + hide uno:TemplateManager from customization => make easyhackable
