Tickets/Topic

* Mode for text marking + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137494 + cyclic selection behavior with F8 (Stuart) + good idea, last step should be None (Thomas) + sounds good (Cor) + Extended Selection (F8) https://help.libreoffice.org/6.0/he/text/shared/02/20050000.html?DbPAR=SHARED could be removed; or we use alt+F8 => let's do it

* Move single control in "More Options" to print dialog + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137506 + keep Order label but move "more option" into the section (Heiko, Cor) + Print in reverse order should come first, [x] Collate should stay behind the number of copies (Cor) => do it

* Insert "Formula" command in Writer appears twice for different UNO commands in Customize Keyboard + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137481 + .uno:InsertFormula (math expression) / F2    + (Insert) plain formula + (Show) formula bar + (Enter) math equation + (Insert) Text formula  <<<< + .uno:InsertObjectStarMath (Math module) / Insert > Object > Formula + (Insert) Math formula + (Insert) Mathematic Object + (Insert) Formula object <<<< => do it

* Duration an delay of the effect attached to an object reset after changing the effect + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137537 + treat animation attributes as user settings and remember last choice or    accept resetting to the default + object attributes are taken from default values in general (black font,    straight lines, no shadow) (Heiko) + but Impress is special in that regards user have to play with properties (Cor) + apply to all properties or just the delay and duration? (Heiko) + just the delay and duration (Cor) + and setting any animation to any other object, is not involved, so      keeps to get the normal defaults + default values should be reviewed (Sascha) => do it

* Impress: Add Accent drawing styles + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137586 + maybe for "Text" drawing style but not duplicated for A0 and A4  + Accent is basically a kind of character style, since we don't     have it in Draw/Impress adding drawing styles for all combinationds makes not much sense (Cor) + easy to add for users (Heiko) + aren't styles stored with the template? should be (Sascha) => don't add Accent to the default list of drawing styles

* add option to disable splash screen + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137581 + a) drop the splash screen completely  + b) toggle --nologo switch into --showlogo (and disable the spash by that) + c) add an additional (expert) option to do hide splash  + d) keep as it is   + -nologo sufficient (Timur) + many apps do have splash screens (Andreas) + Not worthy work to do. Keep it as is. (Rizal) + Removing the splash only gives an impression of a faster start-up, but it    isn’t really measurable in a reliably reproducible way. Some people only want it out because it isn’t “fashionable”. (Adolfo) + agree to remove splash screen (Ahmad) + usage in companies should be taken into account (Cor) + disabling by default (solutions a and b) probably lead to regressions (Cor) + we already do have an option, so clearly a NAB/WFM (Cor) + what is the splash good for (Sascha) + all types of communcation, identifcation/branding + splash is hidden very fast and nothing is readable (Sascha) + disable; use --nologo by default => keep the ticket open, bring it to the ESC

* Calc Find toolbar should have "entire cell" checkbox, same as  Find/replace dialog + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133833 + add this option or keep the quickfind bar simple? + no string preference, quite full right now (Cor) + would like to see highlight in the quickfind bar and agree to    rather keep it simple (Sascha) => resolve as WF
