[Heiko Tietze]

Present: Eyal, Heiko
Comments: Khaled, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

  * Ability to remove non-printing/"atypical" characters in a stretch
    of text
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156507
    + there is no such thing as exotic characters (Khaled, Stuart)
    + recommended workflow is to use advanced search and replace
      with <Ctl>+F10 exposing NPC, and <Alt>+X showing Unicode
    => wontfix

  * The "Fast Action" Buttons to hide/unhide all grouped columns & rows
    disappear when View Headers is set to conceal headers
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156495
    + a) keep the extra space and just hide the labels
    + b) disable the command and always show headers if groups exist
    + c) accept situation since done intentionally
    => c), resp. WF; also since groups still can be shown/hidden
       individually

  * Indication of which table rows are considered heading rows is
    "hidden away" from the user
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156454
    + make a duplicate of bug 113603 "Unified table management"
      + any band-aid like some info in the context menu or
        tooltips to indicate whether a row is a header is odd
    => make a duplicate

  * Allow insertion of items into master without a selected item
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155741
    + works in the floating Navigator ("Text" is always selected)
      but not when docked
    + unclear why insertion is not possible
    + having some random entry when nothing is in the document
      is weird
    + selecting the first item by default is not a solution
      since after adding a document one ends up with no selection
    => needsDevEval

  * Custom list numbering from DOCX import is not available in UI
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156598
    + new scheme allows to use <foo>%1<bar>%2<baz> on any level
    + mockup prepared during the session
    + would like to have "%1{.%2}[2-]{.%3}[3-]{.%4}[4-]{.%5}
     [5-]{.%6}[6-]{.%7}[7-]{.%8}[8-]{.%9}[9-]{.%10}[10-]" (Eyal)
