Tickets/Topic

* UI: The Base preview for recent opened files isn't it. The transparency around the icon feels off + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139453 + white background, large icon, placement at bottom right, or WF (all until real preview) + enlarge (Telesto), rather have a dummy preview (Andreas) + hard to impossible to implement an usable preview for databases, though a larger icon e.g. similar to A1 letter could improve the view (Sascha) => design some kind of dummy preview and show behind the icon which goes to     the usual position then

* VIEWING: Enhancement: Provide a window for foot notes in Web Layout view + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67168 + web layout is just not suited for footnotes; the Navigator has everything to quickly jump to the FN position (and back thanks    the new Recency option) WF (Heiko) => very old ticket, no more opinions = WF

* Usability: "Move or Copy Sheet"; the difference is subtle, but important + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139464 + change the default to Copy or use Copy/Move instead of Ok  + no need for a change (Timur) + Copy is a bit safer (Heiko) => do it

* Import support for open image formats - ORA and XCF + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83256 + out of scope (Heiko) + these are work-files of there specific applications not image-files itselves (Sascha) + if well-spec'ed and licensed we could add an import filter (Stuart) => not worth the effort, WF

* WRITER: context menu "Unstyle selected text" from list style to   "no-list" style + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92622 + a "None"-entry on top of the list could be useful (Sascha) + Character Style has a Default to unset (Heiko) => add "No List" on top

* UI: Main toolbar lacking option to enable border for textbox in Draw/Impress (contrary to Calc/Writer) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139619 + add line style dropdown (Heiko), +1 (Andreas) + different toolbars, different function, WFM (Regina) => go with the line style dropdown
