Tickets/Topics

* wrong term for gutter position in mirrored page layout + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140561 + rename to "Left" to "Inner" (Regina) + "left" is easier to understand (for LTR users) so we ideally use "Inner (Left)" for LTR and "Inner (Right)" for RTL + explanation of feature in c10 (Miklos) + suggest to use radio buttons with clear alternatives (Heiko) => let's do it / easyhackable

* Deleting first paragraph of a document deletes anchored to object + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132279 + unclear situation with wfm (Telesto in c6) and never worked (Ilmari, c7) + bug 124338 requests the opposite (Mike, c9) + "As Character" just delete, "To Character" mark/highlight the object first and require a second backspace to actually delete (similar to    "To Paragraph") and "To Page" don't deleted at all (unless explicitly     selected) (Heiko) + some other, more complex issue (Dieter, c13ff) => no further input, remove UX

* Limiting to selected category limits to the category of selected item in tree + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147807 + add label before the "Navigate By" dropdown and auto select the category when clicking at the tree (Eyal, c9) + adding a label before the dropdown occupies a lot of space + might be solved by the request to move the page number into another row + picking an entry in the Navigator list should select the appropriate item in the "Navigate By" dropdown and vice versa, if possible => go for it

* When an Undo only affects out-of-view content, scroll there instead + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147812 + leads to inconsistency and is unexpected for long-term users + not applying Undo not always makes clear what exactly has been changed (eg. delete a word on a page) + we give feedback by highlighting the undone part => NAB/WF

* No ability to select all content with a specific style + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147769 + supposed workflow with Find & Replace is inconvenient (Jan) + to select paragraphs in order to modify the formatting is    not straight-forward + multi-selection makes is error-prone due to overwriting => recommend to not do it
