Tickets/Topics

  * Restricted editing: highlight regions I can edit
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164214
    + curious how this works (Eyal)
    + highlighting sounds good but question is whether for
      the r/o part or r/w (Heiko)
      + would prefer/expect some kind of disabled appearance (Heiko)
    + highlighting might clash with other styling (Eyal)
      + prefer some information only rather than inline feedback (Eyal)
    => comment

  * LO currently has "Right" & "Left" tabs - but they're really
    "From Start due Start" and "From Start due End"
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163675
    + rename Left to From Start and Right to From End (Eyal)
    + ideally add more options and have left, from start, right, and
      from end (Eyal)
    + would prefer to keep the names but switch from left to right
      if the text direction changes - also because we change the
      indicator anyway (Heiko)
    + wonder how other applications work (John)
      + MSO exchanges the labels left/right
      + charming solution (Heiko)
    + expect consistent alignment and left to remain left even if
      LTR becomes RT (Eyal)

  * Support easy insertion of idiomatic presentation title+subtitle
    slides
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164877
    + like PP we should start with a title slide that has a placeholder
      text for title / subtitle (Eyal, Bogdan)
    + templates or customization of layouts as solution? (Sahil)
      + master/layout are unrelated; customization not a solution
       for the first slide issue (Eyal)
    + we have a "Subtitle" presentation style (Mihai)
    => comment

  * Pivot Table dialog window resizes beyond monitor screen height
    when expanding the "Options" or "Source and Destination" expanders
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164911
    + named range and selection could be placed in one line (Sahil)
    + scrolled window behind the options maybe (Heiko)
    + dialog is resized right now when options become expanded (Eyal)
    + move options and source/destination into extra tabs (Eyal)
      + additional tab is inconvenient (Sahil)
    + options could use a three column layout (Sahil)
