Minutes
Present: Tomaz, Heiko

Organization

+ 7pm UTC is too late for Turkey and more eastern countries + bi-weekly switching? + no preference but not too late (Tomaz) => decision postponed
 * New meeting time

Tickets

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120726 + tend to disagree as Calc works similarly (Heiko) + Against warning deactivation, maybe less intrusive with an infobar? (Thomas in c3) + better do it with the status bar since the status may vary from cell to cell + alternatively, use a special background (greyed out) for protected cells also combined with field shading on/off and print preview + introduce some "Don't show again" checkbox (plus Tools > Options stuff)
 * Table protected cells: Add possibility to disable warning message

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120809 + MS Office handles this better: it usually gets chunks of ~3 words as I type; ideally LO should detect clauses (Adolfo) + needsDevEval (Cor, Thomas) + unclear use case as selection could be cut (Sophie) + word takes all typing input unless enter is pressed or auto correction or other functions add themselves to the undo buffer => we could improve the situation with an option of semantic chunks which takes all input until comma, semicolon, color etc. into one undo buffer (optionally)
 * Undo and redo enhancement

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90116 + WF as it cannot be modal (+1 Thomas) + modal speaks strictly against the sidebar + we could present some kind of preset at the sidebar which is define in the dialog + but that's not the actual request => WF
 * Introduce Conditional formatting tab at the sidebar

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94147 + introduce an option? + there is Office.Common.VCL.AnimationsEnabled=true which makes the walking ants standing still in Calc (Tomaz) + Writer has also a Header/Footer animation which is not working yet (tdf#92450) (Tomaz) => let's add flashing frame on/off to this option and make it accessible to users, e.g. "[ ] Distraction free"
 * Some Selected Objects Flash/Blink
