Tickets/Topics

  * The term "Field Shadings" is confusing
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158291
    + rename to "Spotlight Fields" (Tomas) or "Field Indicators" (Adolfo)
    + shading is used on some other places too such as ToC,
      and no good alternative anyway (Cor)
    + "Field Highlighting" - but not necessary (Sahil)
    + MS Word knows the term "Character Shading" (Heiko)
    + no native speaker joined the discussion (Heiko)
    => resolve NAB/WF

  * "Formattings" should be used instead of "Formats" in some cases
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158290
    + eg. "Conditional Formattings"?
    + distinction is rather technical, against the effort (Stuart)
    + up for translators to find the right term (Sophie)
    + term is used as such in MS Excel (Heiko)
    => resolve WF/NAB

  * Automatic scaling of icons for navigation bar
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158394
    + possible and likely workflow is to start in window mode and
      maximize this window; requires to adjust dynamically (Cor)
    + low importance (Roman)
    => ideally implement option 2)

  * No way to use correct left/right page style automatically depending
    on the first page number
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148245
    + use case unclear (Heiko), rather very unlikely (Cor)
    + page number can have any offset
    + proposal for solution submitted (Regina)
    => AI Heiko: read the comments carefully
    => NEEDINFO ... as in: what does Mike think about how often
       the scenario happens..
