[Heiko Tietze]

Present: Eyal, Cor, Bogdan, Shegs, Heiko
Comments: many

Tickets/Topics

  * Navigator: State of outline headings is lost when navigator is
    closed then reopened
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152116
    + not worth the effort (Heiko)
    + would expect the state to remain on collapse/expand (Eyal, Cor)
    + perhaps not so difficult (Eyal)
    => remember across the session; needsDevAdvice

  * Tab key should ignore indent
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150848
    + respect the usual tab stop like indent on first line = 5cm
      should not make the tab jump to 5cm (Eyal)
    + tab seems to "simulate" indentation and dilutes the workflow (Eyal)
    + if the tab stop is defined with, for example 1cm, the tab moves
      to exact this position (Heiko)
      + tab stop larger than the indent end at the indent
    + abstain (Cor, Eyal)
    + tab to indent for zero tabs sounds like a convenience feature (Heiko)
    => resolve NAB/WF; perhaps worth to add a note to the documentation

  * Support changing the default sequencing of multiple animations
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151324
    + multi-selection is effective and easy to understand, against this (Heiko)
    + suggest to have it as an option (Eyal)
    + can follow the idea (Cor)
    + just remember the last used value? (Heiko)
      + in line with other workflows (Cor)
      + would be satisfactory; and should not revert by some circumstances (Eyal)
    => go for it

  * Add a protection-against-deletion checkbox to table/index generation dialog
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152111
    + same request as last week (change the default) and WF for me (Cor)
    + another checkbox does not hurt usability, but not convinced (Cor)
    + workflow is pointless, rare scenario (Heiko)
    + not so rare, convenient, and regenerating is simple (Eyal)

    + Navigator makes deletion very easy too, still WF/NAB (Heiko)
    => close this bug as WF, open the previous and comment there
    + maybe a good idea to check MSO

  * TOC for chapter should start at current level+1, not current level
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152075
    + start the chapter-ToC on flexible level/outline
    + nice to have it based on outline levels (Bogdan)
    + unclear use case for both level and outline position (Heiko)
    => will summarize the comments
