I think the issue here is that you do not get a good hearing when you report a
bug, so you either give up or start these YUGE long dissertations.
It seem that you get a knee jerk "NOTABUG" response and that is the end of it.

In this bug report, I pointed out several bugs and got back use a different
tool or use the tools provided, but not "that" tool.  Since one tool worked,
but another did not, it was not a bug and I just did not understand.  RTFM.

For instance, the style pop up at the bottom of the page where Landscape is
actually Portrait.   Format->Page->page is different that the side bar tool
when selecting Landscape.  (I can show you XML code as to what is different if
you wish.)  And my constant complaining about no Portrait in the styles
selection.

Another example of getting blown off when reporting a bug:

Calc: print does not print unsaved cell
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125895
Resolved: NOT A BUG

I reopened as an RFE
Print/Export should close cells first
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125932

And then got a decent hearing and the bug was accepted.  Are you sensing a
pattern?

That all being said, I adore Regina's proposal.  I would love to test it, if
you need a tester.
