Reminders

+ Reopening a ticket needs four-eye based decision (We had in the past some situations where a closed ticket was reopend rather for personal reasons. The suggestion is to get another opinion in cases where a decision was made. So please just comment closed tickets and do not reopen until someone else agrees with you. The same for reopened ticket, have a second opinion or better we discuss the topic at the meeting.)

Tickets

+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/39017/ + Pro: Available in Format > Page and Format > Sections + Con: Apply to text selection missing; going with Insert > Section, Format > Section > Option is tedious + Users likely expect a simple columnize option + General approach what dialogs are subsummized under others and what not missing + Aim is to remove redundancy and shrink the menu (Jay) + Similar to watermark which is not an extra dialog but part of page settings (Jay) + We better wait with the patch until we have a split/menu button that offers quick access at toolbar/sidebar (Heiko) + Also consider to add/change presets in the columns dialog so the user can define the quick access options + We have a split button like this in the Insert toolbar (Jay)
 * Removal of Format > Column entry
