2016-Nov-11 + Present: Cor, (Mark,) Tomaz, Stuart, Jay, Heiko, Gökhan

* Bad time for the hangout (Jay) Given that we still do it on Friday what would be the best time for you? => http://doodle.com/poll/3f227x7ty989wbwc (Comments with different times and days are welcome.)

* Comments on the new whiteboard? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards => rename/move to "Tasks", "EasyHacks" or the like (Jay) - wiki is still an option but not the preferred anymore

* Remove from GSoC? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas#User_Interface + Table styles + Review of the sidebar & its functionality + Integration of the Templates Repository => Mentors, please check if tasks can be removed from the gsoc page

Tickets

* Inconsistent behavior of clone formatting + Issue was communicated per email (not all formatting properties are cloned) + Weird toggle on/off function https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59029 - Benjamin would want to clone all direct formatting properties, Eve rather paragraph or character styles (Jay) - Split button is a good solution (Cor) - All properties should be cloned (Cor) => File tickets and discuss on Bugzilla (AI: Heiko)

* Inserting shapes in Draw shouldnt require multiple clicks (Jay) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90748 + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39268 - Double click is the LibO way to do things repeatedly (Stuart, Cor, Heiko) - not really accurate across all apps - Hard to find out for new users (Jay) - Workflow is different and in Writer usually more than one object is added where Draw rather is to manipulate what has been added (Stuart) - better to teach users about our good solution (single click = single action, double click = sticky) (Heiko) => create proposals with pro/cons for the next meeting so a simple decision yay/nay is possible

* Merge cell in dialog (rediscuss) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101835 - put the option into format dialog: jay - do not: heiko, stuart - don't care: cor => undecided and half-postponed

* Open sidebar navigator with F5 (Jay) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99618 - long-term vision is to have decks that can be detached from the sidebar, - intermediate solution to harmonize behavior is to make F5 showing the Navigator in the sidebar (Cor, Jay) - have a temporary .uno: command to show the floating navigator => thumbs up

* Dock navigator window by default (Jay, Cor) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81902 + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103579 - Reopen and fix (Cor, Jay) - Docked or undocked, both needs to be known how to switch - Docked panel makes the UI jump as it shrinks down the width, floating is more functional (Stuart) - Jumping UI is less distracting because it's done on purpose (Cor) => thumbs up
