Present: Cor, Sahil, Heiko
Comments: Regina, Gerry

Tickets/Topics

  * "Text direction" in page style dialog, with both Asian and RTL-CTL,
     is inconsistent and confusing
     + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162200
     + agree with Regina on keep status but write better help (Cor)
     => WF
  * Table > Properties > Text Flow > Text Orientation is misphrased and confusing
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162201
    + better "writing mode" (Regina)
  => follow the expert's advice

  * STYLES pane -- duplicate style (an additional option beside the existing
    new style from selection
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162209
    + WF'ed before on bug 152189
    + duplication would be like new but on the same level in the hierarchy,
      support the request (Cor)
    => do it

  * Terrible usability of AutoText dialog when creating new AutoText
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52607
    + Source > Clipboard (added newly) should not be done as the AT
      needs to be verified in the context (Cor)
    + preview window: zoom slider for preview (Gerry)
      + disagree; the actual issue should be fixed (Heiko)
    + AutoText dialog should be amodal
      + agreed (Cor, Heiko)
    + does it make sense to modify the category while creating a new AT (Cor)
      + we should carefully avoid mixing individual attributes from one AT
        with information on the list of ATs such as categories and path;
        therefore these are split out of the AT dialog/s (Heiko)
    + is "Create AutoText out of selection" (directly) possible? (Gerry)
      + requires a category and unless we just add all new content to
        some "Standard" it needs this selection first (Heiko)
    => wait for volunteers to implement
