Tickets/Topic

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134642 + not using a printer but the option was likely there since OOo (Heiko) + help gives example with first page on paper with companies logo + another example: glossy paper for pictures + admitted that it's weird, eg document is saved and loaded somewere else (Patrick) + nice to have if page style defines a virtual tray which is assigned to the printer tray at the printer dialog; different ticket though => NAB
 * UI: Paper tray settings in Page setup seems wrong

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134779 + limit the number of columns (and rows) to 99 (or 255) + WPS limits to 63 (Patrick) + it's still possible to add rows/columns before/after (Heiko) + just a performance issue, limitations are bad (Csongor) + show a warning per coloring the spin edit or per confirmation box => go with the colored warning
 * Entering a table with too many columns causing Writer to lock up

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128986 + use case valid but implementation has it's risk (Regina) + don't see the use case; indentation, whether hanging or not, is per se white-space (Heiko) + w/o clear use case it's hard to decide (Patrick) => remove flag and suggest to resolve WF
 * EDITING: Support fill character in a hanging indent of a paragraph

objects/shapes) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134739 + some options (Maxim) a) combined UNO command + a lot of drawbacks b) dedicated Shapes root menu + spoils the menu structure (maybe we move Slide Show content into Slide) + do we have enough content for this menu? + a shape menu would be overkill for Impress. No need for (Rizal) c) rename Text Align, Shape Align + sounds wrong with the other items next to it + prefer this (Rizal, Patrick) + "Object Alignment" + would rename alignment for text (Patrick) + d) Remove one of the commands from the menu (object alignment) (Patrick) + very handy (Heiko) + e) Rename Alignment for one (Text -> Justification) (Heiko) + would affect other modules too (Patrick) + translates possibly to the same word (Heiko) + WPS has Format > Arrange > Align (objects) (Patrick) f) + move Align underneath Arrange + could work since we have toolbar widgets to align objects + prefer this (Sascha) => rename (object) alignment to "Object alignment" or move the menu + Commented after meeting on BZ (Patrick)
 * IMPRESS: two Align submenus under Format menu (one for text, other for

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134640 + expand 'more' sections depending on screen real estate (low hanging fruit) + redesign dialog, see comment 13 & 14 + horizontal aligned radio buttons scale badly with l10n + duplex is saving the environment and we should encourage using it (Patrick) => input welcome, keep it open
 * UI: Printer settings hidden under more
