Tickets

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115817 + dock it (c24) (Stuart, Cor) + make it experimental (Heiko) => dock at the standard toolbar because there is a bit more space left
 * Correct implementation or remove the Navigation toolbar

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111071 + saving a new file adds the extension, changing it at the OS level doesn't => WFM (Heiko) + this patch would end in the inability to call a file foo.ab, which is awkward + of course not when "Automatic file name extension" is checked (Cor) => treat as Windows-only bug
 * Behavior is not consistent when saving with unknown file extension

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122477 + allow empty names (=WF) or revert to default (=NEW) + mostly a Navigator issue where empty names make an object hidden + renaming objects to existing names is not possible, except for empty names + ideally we have a flag "Hide in Navigator and ToC" and revert the name to the default on deletion but that takes some effort for less benefit (Heiko) + deleting names is a user action so intentionally done (Cor) => not a bug (Cor, Regina)
 * Names of Drawing Objects can be Deleted

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121596 + add _one_ small white space, maybe run a poll + alt+space actives window management on Ubuntu (Cor) & Windows too (Rizal) + since ctrl+space is also dangerous we should take ctrl+alt+space => go for it => marketing/documentation could create a nice cheat sheet for shortcuts
 * Writer does not include a key combination to insert thin spaces (U+200A)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122637 + agree with Buovjaga's idea of static text (though we'd better provide means to enable the controls, ie. link to the other dialog) => next to Outline with "Disabled unless Tools > Chapter Numbering: Paragraph Style is set to None" or ... "Disabled if the Paragraph Style is linked with Chapter numbering in Tools > ..." ideally with a link at "Tools...>" to the respective dialog
 * Explain in the style dialog that Outline & Numbering options are disabled...
