Tickets/Topic

* calc gives no visual clue about enter/edit cell mode + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63374 + show cell mode in statusbar? unclear use case + wfm (Cor) + edit/enter resp. f2/"just type" makes arrow effective or not (Sascha) + could replace the "Sheet 1 of 1" at the lower left edge (Sascha) + watching a cell contradicts info far away at the statusbar + action happened immediately before; and too many information in the statusbar => WF

* Navigator item "Draw objects" in Calc does not show Draw objects without name (Writer fixed in the mean time..) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34828 + switch default to "All Shapes"? see also tdf#137838 + solve similar to Writer = great (Cor) + maybe with a very specific workflow where some forms are named to show up    in the Navigator... (Sascha) => switching the default makes everybody happy, let's do it

* Add a keyboard shortcut for pointer as pen + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134281 + suggest N for toggle pen on/off and E for erase all (Heiko, Cor) + N is used for Next and P would be better anyway, let's drop P/N from next/previous slide and use P for pen (Sascha) => sounds like a plan

* TABLE FORMATTING: (context menu) setting "Number recognition" should be possible for each individual cell + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48763 + number recognition per cell breaks current workflow where this function clearly works globally (Sascha, Heiko) + manually set format could be kept / block the number recognition (Heiko) + good idea, needsdevadvice (Cor) + or we reject the request since user can easily revert the applied format (and not using the format as recognized should be the exception given the     option is switched on) (Sascha) + reverting recognized numbers is pretty simple with clear direct formatting + doesn't work with boolean or percentile format - and % is recognized => too complicated, WF

* Cells in rows/columns that are hidden with Data > Group and Outline are overwritten with paste and included when copying + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113232 + show an infobar when hidden cells have been affected by operations (Heiko) + request is to simply exclude data from being copied/overwritten (Cor) + sure but that sounds like a safety issue; col/row might have been hidden accidentally + request is specifically about pasting of content into grouped and hidden columns (Sascha) + again, one very specific case out of many with hidden cells resp. col/rows with zero height/width + hidden row/cols should be protected and must be affected by any operation such as formatting, pasting, resizing... (Sascha) + there is likely a reason why hidden row/col are zero sized and not protected + could imagine some kind of confirmation as well + identical behavior in Excel => WF
