            too small when translated to German to show all buttons

     + [Bug 149912] Find Bar Ctrl+F (search of Cells in Calc): add option to set

  -> + Tracking usage data via Polypoly
       + https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/2022/msg00088.html
       + idea is to get data out of LibreOffice, to have user metrics
       + see the above minutes for details
       + idea is to collect data + store locally
       + then a tool can share data if user requests it explicitly
       + not sure how much work it is implement this
       + might be not too much, reusing previous "collect UI info" work
       + nothing to do right now, will have a blog post with details
       + any objections when collecting only locally + only explicitly submitting? (Heiko)
         + not really clear what the tool does (Michael W)
           + would be interested in the details
           + will go into more details in the blog post
         => just a heads-up for now, best to answer the question once a detailed blog post it out

    + tests that failed more than twice in last seven days
       3 CppunitTest_sw_layoutwriter2                gerrit_mac
     + relatively few builds last week (Cloph)
       + one Mac is experiencing HW failures, probably needs replacing
     + state of Linux nightly builds? (Thorsten)
       + not aware of problems (Cloph)
       + at least daily build is there for the debug version
       + the non-debug is stuck, will fix (Cloph)

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
   + 16k cols in Calc (Lubos): https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133764
   + feature/chartdatatable: MSO-style data tables for charts (Tomaz): see initial commits in master
   + Working on text in shapes (Regina)
     + that text can be rotated
     + text direction can also rotate it
     + trying to separate it, to have real rotation of the text box + and the rotation from the text direction
     + trouble in Writer: TextFrames in Writer can't rotate text
       + an option: not create text frame when the shape text is rotated
     + probably best to first focus on non-Writer shapes (Regina)
     + not seeing an easy way to fully support this (Michael S)
     + second problem: export to ODF (Regina)
       + ODF has no means to describe this
       + text direction in frames is already there
         + rotating characters vs not rotating
       + custom shapes: have a writing direction, but some directions are missing
         + would be useful to bring custom shapes up to speed with Writer frames here (Miklos)
     + third part:
         + seeing lots of problems with SmartArt
         + Writer is not special in this case
     + ask Armin about SmartArt bits (Michael S)
