Present: Hossein, Sahil, ring, Heiko
Comments: Ady, Brian, Cor, Eyal, Rafael, Jeff, Stephane

Tickets/Topics

  * Calc: default anchor everything to CELL
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160452
    + change default needs to have good reasons (Heiko)
    + add option to define the default is over-engineering (Heiko)
    + behavior my have changed in the past (Hossein)
  => resolve WF; suggest to change the topic into "remember last setting"

  * When opening Advanced filter dialog the "From" field should be
    filled with the address of current selection
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150937
    + reasonable request (Ady)
    + confusing label "Read Filter Criteria From" (Ady)
      + more common label is possible, eg. "Select Range"
        but unlikely to be more clear (Heiko)
    + prefilling data does not harm (Hossein, Heiko)
  => go for it

  * Using clone formatting enables scrolling with the mouse -- but it shouldn't
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99608
    + "issue" happens only when moving slowly from top, where moving the
      cursor on top makes sense
    + smooth scrolling rather than to jump to a certain position could
      be a solution (Hossein)
  => suggest to duplicate with 46988

  * Turn on "Range contains column labels" by default
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150027
    + different scenarios, requires more intelligent function (Brian)
    + remember last user choice for this option (Eyal)
    + controls got moved to the same tab for bug 131155 (Heiko)
    + option is checked if header-like data is detected (Cor)
      + apparently only on Windows, on Linux the last settings are remembered
    + the dialog has always stored the last settings, unclear report (Cor)
  => keep the smart functionality, resolve invalid

  * Add timer/clock to single-screen presentation
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160227
    + makes sense (Rafael)
    + unclear why the timer needs to be shown for the audience
    + presenter console uses own class/control
    + neither available in Excel, feature would lack compatibility
  => resolve WF in favor of 3rd party extension/macro

  * Right-clicking to select an always-shown comment in Calc "clicks through"
    and selects the cell behind it
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160290
    + to hide the object first requires additional clicks (Ady)
    + it's not necessary to hide the comment, one can move it easily (Sahil)
    + right click to select is not common interaction (Heiko)
    + respect the z-order (Jeff, Stephane, Heiko, Hossein)
  => do as requested
