Tickets/Topics

  * Formula indicator is too big
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166570
    + consistency is a good reason (Eyal)
    + the blue triangle is too obtrusive (Eyal)
    + however, formula indicator are off by default and supposed
      to be visible just temporary - which then need to be more
      easy to spot (Eyal)
    + value highlighting is sufficient anyway (Heiko)
    + if we keep it, we should ideally adjust the color to the
      muted equivalent as for comments (Eyal)
    => comment (easyhack)

  * With icon theme controls relocated, rename Options -> View panel
    to 'Rendering'
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166604
    + rename to Rendering (Stuart)
    + move the two frames into the Advanced tab and remove the
      View tab (Sahil, Heiko)
      + same for OpenCL (Heiko)
    + we must not use Advanced as a dumpster (John)
    + Mouse to General (Sahil)
    => comment (easyhack)

  * Support group-title bottom label in tabbed UI
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166641
    + duplicate of bug 166350 (Stuart)
    + related but not the same; could be a blocker/depender (Eyal)
    + labels are good but require a clear concept, which I do not see
      at the Tabbed NB (Heiko)
      + request to support not to label everything (similar to launchers)
      + could be added iteratively
      + vertical space is not an issue as the design aims for this
      + labels should make user feel home (and we do not copycat Ribbons)
    + customization spoils the labels (Sahil)
      + we can cope for this and hide the label if the section is too short
    + fully support the proposal; and we may add an option to switch
      it off (John)
    + GroupedBar has kind of labeled control and Tabbed is expected to become
      larger, ie. 3 rows (Sahil)
      + the enhancement should be a non-focusable label
    => comment
