Tickets/Topic

(Paragraph Style > Tabs) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133960 + one character only (Regina) + word can do only none, dot, dash, solid and without any style (Regina) + introducing a spacing between filling character option means requires ODF definition first; and a lot of effort for an easy to work around feature => WF
 * PARAGRAPH DIALOG: Add a "Spacing" property to "Fill Character"

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133743 + Rename the command label, eg "Repair/fix user profile/%PRODUCTNAME" + Keep "Safe mode" (Thomas, Telesto) + Good command names consists of action and target, resp. Verb object like "Exit Application", "Save Document", "Start in Safe/Repair Mode" + Rather than "Safe mode" rename the dialog *and* the Help menu entry? + "User Profile..." menu entry, with restart warning (Stuart) + "safemode" is a command line switch and known terminology; and "user profile" is not an exact match with what the dialog does (Telesto) => WFM
 * "Safe mode" is meaningless for most end-users

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134151 + remove shift+ctrl+C shortcut (Thomas, Heiko, Roman) => do it
 * UI: Make it more difficult to accidentally enable "track changes" feature

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131487 + rather have an option "Use apostrophe as word separator for spellchecking" => needs input from l10n and dev; no blocker from UX-POV
 * Words whose characters span multiple languages should not undergo spell checking

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134136 + Page -> Page Layout, Area -> Background (would be required on similar dialogs too) + quite some work, what to prioritize: precision, short labels, effort? + Background is more clear than Area (Roman) + Changing means also Shape > Area (context menu) to be Shape > Background; Character style uses Highlighting for area fill style - so we end up with three terms for one function + Transparency is a bit too much to change (Roman) + keep overflow due to long labels in mind => tend to WF (Heiko), change carefully (Roman) => comment respectively
 * Enhancement: Change tab names in "Page Style" dialog
