     + [Bug 143754] No Help page for Tools > Options… > Language settings >
            English Sentence Checking
  -> + [Bug 154686] "Apply border and shadow" option should be removed from
            AutoCaption dialog
       + looks not useful, at that time probably the image has no such border / shadow (Heiko)
     + [Bug 154098] RULER: Improve dragging indents
     + [Bug 154133] Writer: Erroneous handling of initial tab in hanging indent
            paragraphs with border

            unusable choices
     + [Bug 154730] Enhancement: Consistent UI terminology for zooming
     + [Bug 154732] Zoom bar "Fit slide to current window" should be "page"
     + [Bug 154699] UI: Add Compress image dialog to the Image properties dialog
  -> + [Bug 154682] AutoCaption does not apply to an Image cut and pasted within
            a document or pasted to another document
        + autocaption works only via Insert > * but users expect it at least for images
        + image sounds doable, but unclear how to detect a table (Heiko)
        + good starting point might be to start with image pasting (Miklos)

  -> + Shortcuts for "Zoom in" and "Zoom out"
       https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45705
       + browsers do Ctrl - + and Ctrl - -, but our accelerator config already uses them (Heiko)
       + Ctrl - - is used for soft hyphen
       + Word has no zoom in/out, unclear what to do
       + may work this around by going with ctrl + (num block)+
       + anything on numbering keypad is a pain on laptops (Eike)
