Tickets/Topics

  * Enable 'Extended Tips' on Tools -> Options -> General by default
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162296
    + agree in principle, suggest to add an entry in the Help menu
      to toggle extended tips more easily (Olivier)
      + could be some toggle menu item (Per)
    + KDE still has issues with long extended tips and looks ugly (Olivier)
    + good idea (Miguel, Stuart, Rafael)
    + bad idea (Regina)
      + yellow rectangles whatever you do
    + ordinary tooltips also have no proper hidedelay/pause/? (Heiko)
    + how about accelerator to add the extended tip (Sahil)
      + wouldn't be a benefit for newbies (Heiko)
    => do it

  * Possibility to Find and Replace on Validity Formulas
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160506
    + functionality would not be clear (Ady)
    + preferably as another color for View > Value Highlighting (Heiko)
      + clashes with existing highlight, ie. blue numbers become red validations
    + niche request (Sahil)
    + indication could also be on the cell like for comments (Heiko)
    + F&R would require to turn validation into some kind of named object like
      styles and to replace one by another, as known from paragraph styles
      in Writer (Heiko)
    + OP has not responded suggest to set NEEDINFO flag (Eyal)
    => comment and set flag

  * Master document for Impress
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142904
    + links could be a solution (Regina)
    + mockup for Presentation Manager (PM) (Heiko)
    + wonder if OP really wants a Master Document and suggest to resolve
      this ticket and open another with a PM (Eyal)
    + could be done as extension or in a gsoc project (Eyal)
    + also possible as standalone tool and perhaps agnostic of
      any format (Sahil)
    => share the idea, seek for input
