Tickets/Topics

  * "Page number" automatic field stops counting before last page if offset >0
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35694
    + help is clear on the function (Regina)
    + just a wording issue but rather introduce another field "page reference",
       which would have the offset attribute (Mike, Regina)
    + comment 70 and 78 are wisdom; missing a good proposal (Cor)
    + compatibility is prime (Hossein)
      + neither prev/next nor offset are stored with docx
      + MSO offsets per field code like "{={PAGE}-10} of {={NUMPAGES}*20}"
        showing "-9 of 80" (not stored as a field on saving as ODT)
    + offset for pagee count is via set variable > page + x (Heiko)
    => comment on ticket

  * Replies to comment are in reverse order
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160350
    + chat-like order D, C, B, A (latest on top) vs. book style
      A, B, C, D (latest at bottom) (Bogdan)
    + latest on top makes sense (Heiko)
    + current implementation shows comments on the place where they
      are made, i.e. below the comment where one chooses: reply,
      which makes sense to me (Cor)
    + all other applications do it book-like (Timur, Bogdan, Felix)
    => do it (consider an expert option)

  * Add toolbar icons to change UI and scheme to switch Light/Dark
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160349
    + useful for tester and user (Rafael)
      + switching only tools > application colors via the new control (Rafael)
      + fixes fallout from bug 160445
    + strongly against adding rarely used functions to the primary UI,
      options would also be hard-coded and not easy to remove later (Heiko)
    + MS has a "Switch Modes" option in the View ribbon (Hossein, Felix)
    => majority are for the option

  * Pressing Tab with partially selected numbered paragraphs deletes content
    instead of changing level
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160317
    + agree on the expectation (Stephane, Felix)
    + inconsistent with inserting a literal tab (Heiko)
    + compatibility is prime (Hossein)
      + tab overwrites in MSO; but tab on the first list item indents
        the whole list anyway (only second increases the level we do)
      + literal tab is inserted on any position >0, ie. inside the text
      + otherwise the level for the whole selection is increased
    + always indent for selection over multiple paragraphs (Rafael, Felix)
    + current behavior depends on selection mode, ie. adding selection inserts
      at the beginning while extend does on the end (Heiko)
    => majority agrees with the request
