Tickets/Topics

  * Chart default color palette (chart-palettes.soc) has (multiple) pairs
    of overly-similar colors
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163535
    + rainbow or some kind of libreoffice color (Heiko)
    + take from standard.soc; but rather aim for chart themes (Stuart)
    + actual problem is the close colors in particular
      on the legend (Eyal)
    + chart colors are not aesthetic (Sahil)
    + Excel is even worse (Heiko)
    + matter of taste, everyone can change it easily; and we have no
      good alternative(Cor)
    => keep ticket for graphic design

  * "Synchronize Labels" button not showing: Default Suggestion
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163315
    + sounds good (Dieter, Stuart)
    + support the idea (Cor)
    => Enable "Synchronize contents" by default, make an easyhack

  * Tooltip for Headings in Navigator should show a correct word/characters
    amount if there is nested outline
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163646
    + reflect the tree structure has its charm (Eyal)
    + we may steer the expectation by highlighting the respective
      part of the text (Eyal)
    + expect the total number when collapsed and individual when
      expanded (Cor)
    + user never want to know the total count incl. subchapter (Eyal)
    => change as requested; ideally also highlight the counted chapter;
      consider an option to not include subchapter in counting

  * Match diacritics
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163616
    + what can be typed should be on the QFS; distinguish between
      character and word level (OP)
    + agree with the arguments and the proposal (Eyal, Heiko, Cor)
      + not the argument (Eyal)
    => go for it

  * Proposal for slight change in position and label of controls in the
    Position dialog for objects
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149407
    + not really simple but also no perfect solution; WF (Cor)
    + suggest to close WF and ponder over the larger picture
      on a different ticket (Eyal)
    => resolve WF
