Tickets/Topic

* Measurement settings are separate for each module - make it to one setting LibreOffice -wide (edit) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40656 + move Tools > Options > (Module) > Measurement Unit to    Tools > Option > Language (Heiko) + keep separate since modules might need special units (Regina) + agree with Regina (Sascha), sane default used via locale + cannot follow the idea to specify the page size in Draw in pt    and in Writer in cm, for example (Heiko) + would prefer one default and individual settings for each control, see bug 72662 (Heiko) (see also bug 44267 and bug 134448) => comment with recommendation to make it a duplicate

* Keyboard accelerator & shortcut assignments -- review divergence from MS Word for reasonable common use cases [accessibility] + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65911 + we neither have a shortcut for character style (CS) nor the paragraph style (PS); MSO has no shortcut defined for PS  + using D makes no sense neither having no shortcut for PS (Heiko) + ctrl+D is occupied by double underline, which is not needed shift+ctrl+D Right-To-Left + Using it quite often with Alt+P for paragraph style, Shift+Alt+P for page style, and Alt+C for character style (Sascha) => go for it as easyhack

* Change default pen color and width for presentation + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135364 + store the last setting is the way to go (and we do so) but do we need to change the default? => no need to change the red and normal

* Mark the page gutter area in the preview in the page layout dialog + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140581 + draw the gutter area with hatching like MSO? + requires to pimp the preview so document canvas and document content are shown as such => no objection to adopt the MSO solution

* Feature request: Collapsible objects in Normal view + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140569 + not a good idea in normal mode (Dieter) + don't see need for a special handling beyond outline content visibility (Heiko) => comment
