Tickets/Topics

* When selecting text, automatically select entire word + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70418 + once a full word has been selected moving the cursor should extend the whole word; useful when input is not precise (Luke) + very useful behavior (Thomas) + What should be the default behavior? + start with character, revert per character + Where should this setting be changeable? + no option here (at least not in the UI) (Heiko) + option at Tools > Options > Writer & Impress -> General -> Editing (Luke) + How can it be made possible to switch temporarily to the other mode? + all or nothing + shift+ctrl+arrow does it out of the box, cross-plattform and cross-application; no need to change (Heiko) + on Windows, the selection per mouse works as described on Wordpad too + as a Linux user I would dislike such a feature (Heiko) => keep ticket

* Group similar autofilter submenu items to save the vertical space + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146018 + combine background and font color (Caolan) + premise to have colors mutually exclusively selected is met + overflow per group, at least on gtk => patch submitted, looks good

* Flip Impress templates when locale setting is set to RTL language + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145730 + mirroring the content is likely to fail, rather ship RTL templates (Heiko) + make templates direction-sensitive or pick LTR/RTL variant (Eyal) + have dedicated RTL templates (Heiko) fails in case of mixed content (Eyal) + would prefer anyway to ship working templates, if needed with RTL and LTR flavors, rather than automatically flipping content => keep ticket

* Description box on Macro Selector should have fixed height + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145976 + fix dialog size or fix size of description? => follow the HIG and make the dialog non-resizable

* Change Tab color dialog for sheet color selection to some sub menu color palette + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145990 + change current default behavior and use some special selection (Roman) + wouldn't limit LibreOffice' flexibility; but having all the option in a submenu would be nice (Thomas) => resolve WF

* Clicking into a cell of table will select the full table instead of  entering the corresponding cell + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117484 + standard behavior since ages (Justin, Rafael) + keep current (consistent) behavior (Heiko) => resolve NAB

* Table Alignment options are somewhat confusing, illustration needed + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145980 + would prefer to integrate this topic into the revamp of the dialog (Heiko) => keep ticket
