Tickets/Topics

  * Writer allows to insert comments in footnotes in DOCX, but loses them
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157406
    + have UI settings for all similar MSO-compat options (Gabor)
    + add AllowCommentsInFootnotes and ClockwisePieChartDirection
      but not ReverseSeriesOrderAreaAndNetChart, and
      ReverseXAxisOrientationDoughnutChart (Heiko)
    => easy hack

  * Import & Export mechanism for the font substitution table
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157415
    + realize per extension (Jean-Francois, Heiko)
    => WF

  * Formula help still displayed when editing cell formatted as text
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156674
    + show tip anyway (Stephane)
    + cell reference highlighting might be misleading (Ilmari)
    + formula might be shown anyway (Heiko)
    + and the tooltip shows up only while editing; possible workflow
      is to write formulas in text mode and switch finally to number
      for execution- which makes the tooltip valuable
    => resolve WF/NAB

  * Cursor goes beyond margins when typing spaces at the end of a line
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155494
    + mimic MS Word that allows spaces beyond margin and off page (Telesto)
    + controversial situation; allow space, don't wrap line,
      give feedback... and the use case is very dubious (Attila)
      + not being able to add pointless spaces at the end or breaking into
        the next line was the reason for the report (William)
    + TextEdit and Pages keep the cursor at line end regardless spaces (Khaled)
    + MS Word had in the past '"Wrap trailing spaces to the next line"
      (for compatibility with WordPerfect)'; suggest to break line (Stuart)
    + make this optional (William, Heiko)
    => add optionally
