Tickets/Topics

  * Support partial visibility of tracked changes (at least like MS Word)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157104
    + use case: reviewer caring about content not formatting (Stephane)
    + tools > options > writer > changes allows to set every type to [None]
      but it still becomes colored differently, at least for formatting
    + agree with the request (John), agree with the use case (Rafael)
    + show in the TC sidebar (only) (Heiko)
    + should also be available in the menu (Eyal)
    + toolbar button to toggle margin visibility needs rework (Eyal)
    + improve tools > options? not a good choice as it is not per document,
      low discoverability
    + take care of margin options
    => do it

  * [UI] Presenter mode does not use system font
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157276
    + complex theming at ooO.PresenterScreen.Presenter.Themes[]
      including background image, font size, color, style...
      and familyname, though not set
    + PresenterTheme::FontDescriptor::CreateFont() {
       if (msFamilyName.isEmpty())
         aFontRequest.FontDescription.FamilyName = "Tahoma";
    + customization in the registry could be applied and shared
      via extension
    + certainly needs to be larger and more distinctive than usual
      UI content (Eyal)
    + "fallback" resp. default for empty fontfamily should not be Tahoma
      but the UI font (Eyal)
    + don't dislike the current solution, wouldn't change it (Heiko)
    + prefer to have the system default (Rafael)
    => let's do it

  * EDITING Hyperlink to hidden sheet navigates to wrong sheet
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118866
    + how does MSO work? the same as Calc -> no information (John)
      + even worse since editing the hyperlink breaks it while we
        still list the hidden sheet
    + a) switch anyway (and show the hidden sheet, maybe only temporarily)
        + a1) permanently unhide the hidden sheet, since the
            temporary action is too surprising (Eyal, Rafael)
    + b) show some info bar, message box, balloon tip
    + c) disable the link and change the appearance accordingly
    + IMO b) or a1); against c) (Eyal)
    + IMO b) or a) (John)
    + IMO b) infobar; against a1) and a) as there might be a need
      to hide a sheet (Rafael, Maja)
    + protected sheets need to be considered; showing is not an option in
      this case
    + the infobar moves the content downward, a messagebox is disruptive
    => do it (easyhackable, medium interesting)
