   + New needsUXEval between Apr/18-25

      * Context toolbar make jumping ui
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124835 
      * Formatting: Formula result has different alignment than regular values
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124860 
      * close button on menubar didn't use the color of the menubar
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124928 
      * Save icon breaks icon customization
         + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98193  
      => in discussion

      * Help->About LibreOffice dialog does not specify whether 32 or 64 bit 
        is installed
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124936
        + proposal is to add 32bits when its not 64.
      * UI: the wording around tools - options - LibreOffice Calc - Formula -
        Recalculation on File Load is questionable
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124784 
      => new/easyhack
        + currently option is Never
           + it is dangerous currently (Heiko)
             + might need an update.
             + can re-calculate alien formats
           + Is there a good reason to break calcs ? (Michael)
           + no way to detect if you need re-calculation (Eike)
             + would be there always for Alien formats.
           + sometimes we have to calculate this (Eike)
             + can have some other wording, but …
        + suggestion is two-fold (Heiko)
           + not having a blocking dialog
             → info-bar is not controversial (Michael)
           + ask the user or not.
             → asking the user is controversial (Michael, Eike)
        + problem can be with files stored in an older version (Eike)
           + these can need re-calculating from an old version.
           + if we add a bug & then save it – things break (Kendy)
           + perhaps safest always recalculate – but poor performance (Eike)
              + could depend on the version – before 6.2.3 
                eg. but not a friend of that.
           + new, older + alien format options ? (Heiko)
              + not clear to the user why he should choose any of them (Eike)
           + should do something familiar (Michael)

      * Option to turn off autocomplete text in quick find
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124774 
      => wfm

* Crash Testing (Caolan)
    + Google / ossfuzz:
      + 12 (+2,-0) issues
      + fix in gerrit.
    + Crash testing:
      + 6(-2) import failure, 22(+18) export failures
        - export failures are really uncovering older import bug revealed by
          stricter unicode handling on export.
    + ForcePoint, round 9
      + complete – E-mailed them to ask for another round.
    + CNA bits – got 1st batch of CVE numbers.
      + CVE-2019-9847 assigned
    + coverity suspended / old – until new version that supports c++17(?)
      + could TDF buy a copy ? (Michael)
         + not clear if we can build under it anymore anyway.
