Tickets

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117231 + show confirmation box (Dieter, Cor) + suppress odd/even values depending on page style (Heiko) + potentially solved with tdf#125682 (MikeK) => postponed and resolve if solved
 * There is no way to suppress Writer inserting blank pages to make page No. 1 a right-hand page when editing a document

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130512 + consistency with MSO or user expectation + "Format Painter" at MSO does not copy the comment's style as LibreOffice Calc + with complex comments lke "Test Foo" copied to a simple "Bar" is unclear + take the first characters maybe (Cor) + multiple formatting like aaa bbb is not copied at all (Patrick) + but it works on Excel and takes the first character's format => do it
 * Cloning a cell's format should also clone the format of the cell's comment

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130156 + we have a nice alignment widget in the toolbar + no objection to the idea => do it
 * Add alignment controls to the sidebar

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130840 + +1 for a status icon, rest is unclear + please comment if my communication is not polite, see c4 + in fact not easy to understand (Patrick, Cor) + Change in this direction: (Cor) + Apparently some things do not work. Developer time/effort... (Cor) + So it is useful to e.g. track adding a sheet. And OK, it cannot be removed.. so that should be explained. + So I changed the summary of this report. OK? + ideally look into the issue and make it actionable (Cor) => keep it for later
 * UI Create a better UX for "Tracking Changes" mode

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101853 + confirmation box is a good idea (Cor) + perhaps with "Don't show again" for the experts (Heiko) + context menu with an option "Apply to full document" + a page style is applied to the part of the document between hard breaks that define a page style + to apply it to only a 'selection' (one/more pages) needs that hard breaks etc are inserted automatically => do both confirmation box (with option to not show again) and context menu
 * Double click page style, causes pages above "current page" to be changed

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130778 + will be on this list until it's solved => write a message on the mailing list
 * Branding for 7.0
