Tickets/Topics

  * Redesign font embedding options in sfx2/uiconfig/ui/documentfontspage.ui
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158588
    + improve help (Dieter, bug 130185)
    + dummy text with no embedded font = 28k, with all options on = 22000k
      with "only used" 927k, with all but limited to latin = 1800k
    + disable CTL & CJK depending on options and
    + check by default and disable the "Only used fonts" unless
      the first option "Embed fonts" is activated (Heiko)
    + if the document contains and CTL/CJK font it would be
      pointless to exclude them when saving used fonts only;
      and the other option makes not much sense alone (Rafael)
    + font scripts options needs a dev check
    => do it

  * FORMCONTROLS Enhancement: Fill Cell with Text Box in Calc
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158273
    + check/enable anchor to cell (resize with cell) and fit to cell size
      by default (Heiko)
    + changing this makes users needy and they may ask for better chart
      positioning, for example; how about a dedicated command to
      achieve the goal (Rafael)
    + could also be done per macro (Sahil)
    + goal was here to insert/manipulate many form controls; the workflow
      with copy/paste is tedious as cursor down or enter does not
      behave like at normal cells; which could be changed (Heiko)
   => comment

  * Incorrectly export number 0 form calc to PDF
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158533
    + option to show/include zero is on by default and one has to disable
      it intentionally
    + same behavior on Excel
    + dependency to some archived PDF format is unclear
    => ask the ESC

  * New sidebar deck for comments
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106316
    + splitter to expand the comments margin (Jim)
    + comments in margin is sufficient for ordinary users (John)
    + vertical space in margin is not enough for academia; management
      is missing, eg. to find unresolved comments (Rafael)
    + sidebar has limited vertical space
      + but allows the list being unsynchronized ie. many comments on one
      single page overlapping each other
    + requirements: add filter by status, eg. resolved
      no urgent need for the procrastination option "hide temporarily"
    + mockup design: take the Onlyoffice example 
https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=191371; sort is
      missing; referenced text should be visible in the sidebar pane
    + enhancements: predefined responses? might be useful for some (Rafael),
      but should be done resp. the list filled by users (Sahil)
    + replace the comments in margin or amends it (John)
    => improve the mockup and ask the community in a blog post
