The point was not that you will *definitely* oppose. The point was: that bug
was about a *different* thing. We *should never* merge bugs like that: even
now, when you wrote that you agree with this bug, your original one does not
become a dupe of this one: they have different ideas. In other words: in a
year, someone comes, who agrees with, say, tdf#156795, but disagrees with
tdf#156109. As long as such a scenario is possible, these are *different* bugs;
with a potential of *different* further destiny (e.g., one might get
questioned, discussed, reverted at some point, while another could stay). So
*they are NOT "the same topic"*. And merging them creates havoc, makes bugzilla
unmanageable. Thinking that merging them keeps bugzilla "neat" destroys its
value as a tool of tracking ideas, bugs, and so on.

Please note, that at no point I disagree with either of the ideas myself - I'm
actually neutral. I only post data points that I know, like the Word
screemshot, or the (false) memory of a setting needed for the dialog tooltip ;)
