Tickets/Topics

  * Improve the wording of "JREs already installed" list title,
    to remove confusion
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152453
    + "Installed in the system, select one for use with LibreOffice:" (Miguel)
    + "Select the JRE you want to use with LibreOffice:" (Heiko)
    + "Java runtime environments (JRE) already installed. Select one:" (Stuart)
    + not always multiple JRE installed, maybe make it dependent (Rizal)
    => no best solution for non-native speaker, up to the doer

  * Dedicated sidebar deck for table-related functions
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152481
    + appreciated (Stuart)
    + Does the table section fill a dedicated tab? yes (Rizal)
    + Is switching between the Table and the Properties tab necessary?
      + no, but it's not intuitive to switch to the table tab (Rizal)
      + automatically switching would be bad (Rizal, Heiko)
    => go for it, answer the questions on BZ

  * Writer Impress : the image compression form should change the
    image resolution only if it decreases
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145161
    + hide resolutions above the original dpi rate (Heiko)
    + we cannot hide predefined resolutions as it is bound to width/height
      and users can enter some large value increasing the resolution
    + the wording with "Reduce" is incorrect and we should change it to
      "Change image resolution to:" (Rizal)
      + also change "Compress Image"? (Rizal)
      + wouldn't touch it because users are familiar with this name and
        the respective, usual functionality (Heiko)
     + alternatively we could also use a maximum for Width/Height
    => do it

  * Add option to remove trailing spaces in the Basic IDE
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94524
    + laymen would benefit but experts know what they do (Rizal)
    + welcome the change, no harm in it (Cor)
    + no harm in trailing spaces, no benefit in the function (Gerhard)
    + known from IDEs (Eyal)
    + have a special function/command to trim or do on save/run?
    + "beautifier" (in case the function is enhanced later) are usually
      started manually (Rizal, Rafael)
    => do it

  * Simple clicking a module gives the impression that this module
    has the view
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145269
    + wouldn't expect a different highlighting, the info is shown
      somewhere (Rafael)
    + same issue for the Stylist (and ticket) with the recommendation
      to use a grayish color for the active yet not selected style
    => do this here as well, link tickets
