Present: Maria, Sascha, Heiko
Comments: Dieter, Noel, Cor, Mike, Stuart, Adolfo

Tickets/Topics

 * Row height in Calc was 0,45 cm now it's 0,4516
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144247
   + revert, have 4 digits only in case of imperial units, ...?
   + see also Bug 138920, assigned - maybe solvable
   + if not, revert the patch (Maria)
   => hopefully it can be fixed

 * Separation between start interactive frame not ok. I's hard
   to place cursor at the start of the paragraph with the mouse
   (depend on zoomlevel)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139591
   + NAB (Dieter, Heiko), accept sloppy interactions (Noel)
   + obvious to the user what happens and F2 goes into edit mode;
     but no objection if change is needed (Cor)
   + minor and artificial issue; click somewhere and use
     ctrl+pos1 (Heiko)
   + large scale change; effort not worth the little benefit (Maria)
   + same issue with lists or indexes (Sascha)
   => NAB/WF

 * Emoji font
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144348
   + update the font?
   + bad idea in the first place (Mike)
     + emoji handling is done best by the OS (Adolfo)
   + new font might require to update the references (Stuart()
   + patch to make the Emoji non-experimental was abandoned
     meanwhile
   => WF, keep the current font

 * Password protection on Writer malfunctioning
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142147
   + proposing a PW prompt before Save*
   + purpose of ro is not to block saving but to keep the
     original document (Maria)
   + ctrl+a/c allows to copy/paste all (Sascha)
     + protection prevents changes but does not ensure its
       readonly via copy/paste or access to the document
       structure (Sascha)
     + storing the pw inside a non-encrypted file is an issue too
   + show the "readonly" infobar and edit/save after prompting
     for pw (Heiko)
   + auto tick the "Save with password" checkbox and let the
     user insert a pw or not in the next dialog (Maria)
   + use File > Properties: Security > Open file read-only for this
     kind of protection and remove the option from the
     save dialog (Sascha)
     + sometimes no pw is needed to open; feels broken (OP)
   => comment on BZ
