            + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126638

           + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122218
             + probably depends on xcode version (Xisco)
             + but newer xcode is required by notorization (Cloph)
               + ideal would be to build with xcode 10 entirely
               + HiDPI screen for Cloph would be great (Michael)
               + found out: not a regression, but it is from a user’s PoV

       + button flashing - mouse wheel zooming breaks
