Tickets/Topics

* The Gallery popup option "Insert as Background" should appear only in Writer + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144201 + fix it for Draw/Impress or remove completely => remove

* Horizontal Ruler Comments button issue if in Zoom Factor Optimal or Fit Width + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144419 + relying on this button makes no sense, eradicate it (Sascha) + requires a solution anyway (Adolfo) + View > Comments toggles the comments pane visibility and adjusts the optimal zoom accordingly (Heiko) + optimal means to hide the pane when collapsed => resolve WF

* Writer: No "Settings" or "Advanced" button in a "Insert footnote" dialog window + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144722 + agree (Roman) + rather introduce resp. refer to different footnote style (Dave) + reasonable argument but too many design variants clutter the list of styles; and more relevant not all foot/endnote options are paragraph style attributes (Heiko) + having a shortcut to the configuration dialog makes sense (Mike) => do it

* [ACCESSIBILITY] Copy object caption contents to object name, alt and description + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144375 + makes sense in particular for a11y request in bug 39558 (Stuart) + name is not random and used in the Navigator, description is    meant for sources or similar additional information (Heiko) + for the alternative text it improves a11y but implementation should consider to not change existing text => do it

* Paste Special Comments and Text conflict + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139858 + workaround to add-paste comment only could be to use the add option (Heiko) + not intuitive (John) + paste special /formats and /objects (anchored to cell) only does exactly what is requested and makes the content bold, for example, while numbers and comment remains intact + same happens the other way around and when pasting numbers only into a cell with formatting or attached object those stay alive => treat comments as formula or objects and keep cell content
