Tickets/Topic

* Add option that undoing input doesn't jump view to the undo target cell + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99794 + WF (undo requires feedback) but maybe add a command to go back (Heiko) + freeze is a nice solution to keep a cell in sight (Cor) => WF

* The place to set the language for the document is ridiculously undiscoverable + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96988 => NAB (Cor, Heiko)

* UI: Cannot open Fontwork dialog to adapt text to connect shape + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94535 + add 1) To the Format menu and 2) As a hidden button in the drawing toolbar (Jay) + "text along path" is a property of the shape, not of the text; Renaming would be good (Regina) => do it

* Default data type of the Paste function needs to be configurable + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62672 + having one default being always the same makes a lot of sense (Ruya) + alternative could be a radio button list where the user can change the default within the paste special dialog (Heiko) + however a lot of effort for not much benefit + use a macro (m.a.riosv) => WF

* Make clear distinction on differences between "Export" and "Save As", and move items in those filters accordingly + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116703 + everyday actions into save/as, seldom used formats into export (Ruya) + GIMP is an example how bad the distinction between save/as and export is (Heiko) => AI: will look into it and comment later

* [META] Usability metrics (usage stats) bugs and enhancements + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115712 + user metrics would be great + storing user data is a sensible topic due to GDPR + we could use nightly builds and RC's for user metrics (Ruya) + saving UNO commands in a summative way is the first step but the sequences of individual commands provides much more info (eg. what command is    followed by undo) + receiving a large set of data is challenging for the storage => to be continued; let's search the internet for potential solutions
