+ [Bug 163036] Can't delete a chart right after insertion
+ [Bug 163021] SET ZOOM LEVEL for all windows at ONCE: setting the zoom level
universally, for all open document windows at once
-> + [Bug 161492] Vertical Tab dialogs--Options column in Area section is not wide
enough in paragraph style dialog
+ if there is no further work going into this, then the vertical tab dialogs idea won't fly (Heiko)
+ the idea was always that it's done when it's done, so no problem with the approach to not have vertical tab dialogs in releases (Thorsten)
+ like the vertical tab idea, but it's a lot of work (Hossein)
+ it's not just moving tabs from the top to the left
+ also needs a redesign of the dialog
+ [Bug 162878] Reworked localized Impress templates look ugly in RU
+ [Bug 162997] Support reloading of font list when new fonts added to the system
(e.g. with fc-cache)
+ [Bug 138708] Unwanted scrolling when moving/positioning an image with arrow keys
+ [Bug 162968] When inserting PivotChart, can't choose data series in rows/columns
+ [Bug 162969] PivotChart data series order not updated when sorting
PivotTable rows
+ [Bug 162970] Clone formatting brush does nothing when applied from chart to chart
+ [Bug 162967] Want access from borders toolbar menubutton to Format > Cells...
Borders pane
-> + [Bug 162933] Add "Check for updates" button in the About dialog
+ request is to have update info in the dialog
+ idea is to get rid of the updater dialog, and have everything in the about dialog
+ should play nicely with the MAR update mechanism
+ e.g. Chrome does this
+ saw a recent report: people still use 7.6 & then complain about lack of updates
