Tickets/Topic

* FIND & REPLACE: Should be possible to specify both a search expression and a style + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141439 + can of worms (Heiko, Dave) + extension exists with AltSearch + support the idea of cascading criteria despite the extension (Thomas) + adding criterium with an easy to understand synthax e.g.  would sattisfy advanced users (Sascha) + would made it possible to add MS Office syntax for addon-developer (Sascha) => do it

* Inconsistency in Bringing forth the Page Style Window Using the Status Bar from LibreOffice Calc + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136313 + single click to open the page style, right-click for context menu (Thomas) + duplicating bug 87750 and bug 91914 + agree to the idea that the status bar shouldn't open dialogs (Sascha) + millions of users might complain to removal (Sascha) => do it

* Lock files and privacy (leaking user and computer name) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141026 + very rare usecase but still reasonable request, also easy hack (Sascha) + user error but "Show Details" function easy to implement (Mike)

* Enhancement: Default padding in LibreOffice Calc + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141864 + default padding is the same as in Excel (Thomas) + second issue is a duplicate + larger cells improve human readablility -> rather change default row height than cell padding (Sascha)

+ maybe set options for default Height, Width to Options->Calc->Defaults (Sascha)

+ could be done per default template => resolve duplicate

* CROSS-REFERENCE DIALOG: Allow prefixing section-numbering reference with section symbol + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141429 + no need for it (Dieter) + can't be part of the reference as it requires to be in the ODF + prefix not being part of the reference field is prone to fail when the reference changes => prefer a solution per extension * Rephrase "Insert Reference To" items + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141869 => good ideas, easyhackable * Explain "Type" and "Insert Reference To" elements with tooltips + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141867 + type is self-explanatory but insert reference worth to change (Thomas) => do it
