Tickets/Topics

  * in automatic filter, add the number of the first row where the value appears
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157331
    + proposal is to show the first occurrence in addition/alternatively to the
      total number the first occurrence (tdf#149984)
    + suggest to ask in a forum/ask-libreoffice for good solutions - and request
      a change if none is found (Cor)
    + computational effort sounds to be low; real estate on dialog seems to be
      possible though somewhat cluttered; wouldn't reject the request but
      recommend to not start work unless more users are interested (Eyal)
    + would WF the request; searching is easy and showing the total number
      more relevant (Heiko)
    => keep ticket and comment

  * Cell / font formatting lost when data linked from external data
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150414
    + if external source has formatting it should be taken into the reference,
      if not it must not clear the internal format (Eyal)
    + make the two feature behave in exactly the same way and provide an
      option to  use the source formatting (Stephane)
    + better documentation needed (Heiko)
    + topic is very difficult to understand and probably needs more
      investigation (Cor)
    => follow Stephane's suggestion

  * The arrowhead control in the sidebar line section is difficult to notice
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157882
    + sidebar is crowded anyway, suggest to not have every single attribute
      there (Heiko)
      + cap style / corner style are even less likely changed by users (Eyal)
    + control is difficult to notice but tooltip makes the functionality
      obvious (Cor)
    => improve by moving the current control into a new line, drop cap/corner
      style, and keep splitting the control for later
