Minutes
Present: Kompi, Heiko

Tickets

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125009 => ask on the marketing ML for input ==> feedback "Tabbed Notebookbar" given, UX input done
 * Rename tabbed layout to notebookbar

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45778 + anchor as character and alignment "Base line at top" to comply with MS Word + q in ask.libreoffice.org + drawback of current alignment on paragraph is that more than one image adds on top of the other (Franklin) + see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87720 + most word processors anchor as character + RFE: introduce an option how to anchor be default + provide user-defined defaults at tools > option (Csongor) + clutters options a bit (Franklin) + we could do it as expert option (Heiko) + alternatively keep the last used settings + might not work as you modify properties subsequently and we would have to store properties at any time when changed => changing the default anchoring to 'as character' sounds good => providing agreement by ESC, ask the community and introduce the option when there is a split + Twitter: 31% To Page, 39% To Paragraph, 7% To Character, 23% As Character (some comments "it depends") + result: no clear picture + ESC: agreement, though better w/o additional option + better not touch and keep to paragraph (Kompi) + better "to character" for wrapping and since mouse positioning is broken, suggest for empty paragraph "to paragraph" and when inside text "to character" (Regina) => since users and use cases differ the best solution is to have an option (and maybe more for 87728)
 * Insert image not in a new paragraph but in the current position or as character

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98193 + accept the drawback (Andreas, Heiko) + possible solutions: a) combine two/n icons in one with a propriatary format, b) split the UNO command into uno:SAVEEMPTY and uno:SAVEMODIFIED, c1) draw the decoration programmatically, c2) combine/overlay two icons + never change icons (Kompi) => WF, becuase no good solution and inappropriate effort
 * Save icon breaks icon customization

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124477 + alternatively change the tree with details on animation into a table but this might exceed the sidebar width + option is rarely needed as most users do not have that many animations per slide + simple solution is an option "[x] Show animation type" (default = on) => go with the change
 * Provide an option to hide the animation effect

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124774 + WF or needsDevAdvice + like the idea as it is often confusing (Kompi) => needsDevAdvice with recommendation to WF if there is no central place to switch it off
 * Option to turn off autocomplete text in quick find

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122696 + adding too many options spams the list + not a big deal (Cor, Kompi), not convinced with 14 addiitonal options (Heiko) + even for DIN we have only A3-A6 + it's easy to enter the paper dimension manually => ask the OP for a smaller selection with <5 items, eg. RA4, RA5
 * Page settings missing a few paper sizes

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124860 + switch on "Number Recognition"? => discussion ongoing at BZ (ticket might be a WFM now, @Cor) => postpone / discuss on BZ
 * Formula result has different alignment than regular values
