Tickets/Topic

* ENHANCEMENT UI: Synchronize checkbox for page margins + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136055 + not needed (Regina), + another use case is to decrease the margin to zero to get the max out of    the page (Telesto) + also good for consistency (Sascha) => let's do it

* Comment reply function has disappeared + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136896 + has been restricted intentionally (Maxim) + keep it blocked but disable command rather than hiding and provide a (contextual) tooltip; => force users to enter personal info (Heiko) + block replying to own comments unless no user (aka unknown author) (Thomas) + MSO allows replying to own comments (Maxim) + not unusual to have identical names like Muhammed, another user with the same name couldn't reply + keep as it is, there is no good reason to reply to own comments (Sascha) + sometimes people work on the same computer and address people in the comment like "He Muhammed, please check this"; so do not block (Rohan) => comment on the ticket and keep it open

* EDITING: Insert checkbox easily as in Google Sheets + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133417 + alternative is to use a formula and insert a symbol depending on 1/0 + like checkboxes; form controls are overly complex (Sascha) + cell value would be true/false with the visualization of a checkbox including the interaction on click to toggle the state (Sascha) + can't be kind of a number format but needs a special implementation to visualize boolean per checkbox; this wouldn't be cross- platform/application formatting is lost on round-trip + interesting to check how GDocs saves this checkbox => needsDevEval

* Writer's defaults are not the same as with the Default template + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133723 + rename the default template (Thomas) + maybe "Plain" or "Blank" instead of "Default" (Heiko, Rivan) + is not so beneficial and not a solution to the actual problem (Sascha) + cannot override or delete Default template, no point in having it at    all (Sascha) + would be nice to be able to override/delete all templates, meaning to      store in user space (Rivan) + IIRC technical reasons prevent this (Heiko) + would be good to not initialize variables but always load a template (and    define defaults there) (Sascha) + templates are a blueprint for documents not to store all variables for all styles (Heiko) => WF

* MENUS: Global shortcuts not appearing in menu entries + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85978 + vote for CloseWindow but this solves only the example, see

https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/uibase/docvw/edtwin.cxx?r=1675f5c0#1351 + File > Close is .uno:CloseDoc and assigning a shortcut would show Ctrl+W in this menu => let's do it for this command
