Tickets/Topics

* When merging cells, it is not good that 'Keep the contents of the hidden cell' is the default + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147837 + MSO can read hidden content from merged cells but when applied on MSO365 it offers only to remove the content + no need to change (Roman) + hidden content may be a safety, security and privacy issue (JO3EMC) + warning/infobar on load (since at save time it's not possible) (Heiko) + probably too late (Eyal) + current default is convenient (Eyal) + maybe the first option, saving into one cell, is the better default + better solution might be to show an indicator for hidden content similar to the comments (Eyal, Heiko) => comment

* Need ability to search only comments + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148463 + Ability to pick-and-choose where to search + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148464 + reasonable request but having this flexibility comes on cost of a cluttered dialog + feature would be needed for several entities such as Comments, Footnotes, Text... + solution a) is to list all entities similar to attributes and check it    by default   + solution b) would be to know where search was started from and allow to     "[ ] Search only in %1" + solution c) is to start the search command with a parameter like    .uno:Search?where="comment" and allow to restrict the search to this entity     only   + b) and c) clutter less, a) is more flexible (but requires a check     all/none option) => comment

* Give alert for unsaved when sending document in email + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148469 + turn the logic and ask to save first (Heiko) + rather prompt for saving first (even when not needed) but with the option to send anyway without saving (Thomas) => go for it

* Poor nomenclature for Manual Break + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148513 + prefer a simple solution, see comment 8 (Heiko) + propose more verbose solution, comment 14 (Seth) + consider LTR/RTL and better use Start/End (Eyal) + adding a preview thumbnail should be simple (Heiko) + good image might be a challenge (Eyal) => comment

* Rework Sparklines's context menus + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148465 + for cells w/o sparklines, do not list sparkline commands at all (Heiko) or at least have only Insert Sparkline at the root level (Eyal) + in case of context being a sparkline it's not needed to Insert (but to Edit) + ideally we show/enable Ungroup only if we have a group and vice versa (Eyal) + consider the Notebookbars (Andreas) => do it

* Rename "Left page border" and "right page border"... + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148593 * Rename "page text area top" and "page text area bottom"... + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148591 + "border" is wrong (Mike) + must not use "Margin" nor "Border", maybe "Page region left of    page content area" (Regina) + rework the dialog "from ground", actually just move the "to:" dropdown at the second position to make it a sentence (Eyal) + if possible, the offset should be always available (and "From Left"      could be removed then) + we have a great preview showing exactly what happens (Heiko) => no better proposal though
