Comments: Stephane, Andre

Tickets/Topics

  * Format->Text menu name is confusing in Calc
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153300
    + rename Format > Text to Format > Character in Calc (and maybe also
      other modules too)
    + menu items consist of Font and Font Effects from the dialog (Stephane)
      + Font Effects might fit but font weight wouldn't be included
    + Writer has a menu item "Character..." (Heiko)
    + "Text formatting", not a better solution though (Cor)
    => no good solution, this has to be learned; WF

  * Enhancement Request: Exclude some pages from field "Page Count"
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153259
    + flag on page break to exclude single pages from counting (Andre)
      + very impractical since the hard page break is assigned to
        the 1st paragraph (Cor)
        One would need to add extra hard page breaks for each ..
    + page style attribute to suppress counting pages (Heiko)
      + bug 71583 requests individual counting and should be closed
      + has probably a use case (Cor) but should be realized as document
        information and not taken into a variable (Heiko)
    + requires a new flag in ODF
    => do it as page style

  * Insert Caption and Caption Options dialogs have a mix of settings
    affecting the whole category or only current caption
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153248
    + "local" and "global" settings is one dialog is very
      confusing (Stéphane)
      + Yes - clearly indicating is a must. (Cor)
        but it may prevent the need of extra dialogs
    + discussed with Stephane and we clarified the issues;
      have to work on it (Heiko)
    => comment later

  * LO should retain selection on first document when interacting with
    second document
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152744
    + selection color needs to be dimmed (Cor)
      + maybe the reason why it is not shown at all (Heiko)
    => worth to do

  * Revert commit of Bug 91415 - Scale Calc's comment indicator with
    zoom level (please, do not)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153106
    + want to ponder over it (Cor)
      asking a question for clarification - don't get the real problem
    + wild idea: draw text/numbers with background; that would cover
      the comment indicator; but we seem to not have this option on
      a quick glance (Heiko)
    => keep open for now
