Present: LibreOffice Enthusiast, Alexandr, Rizal, Heiko
Comments: Regina, Miklos, Telesto, Ilmari, Mike, Dieter, Eyal, Jan

Tickets/Topics

 * wrong term for gutter position in mirrored page layout
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140561
   + rename to "Left" to "Inner" (Regina)
     + "left" is easier to understand (for LTR users) so we ideally
       use "Inner (Left)" for LTR and "Inner (Right)" for RTL
   + explanation of feature in c10 (Miklos)
   + suggest to use radio buttons with clear alternatives (Heiko)
   => let's do it / easyhackable

 * Deleting first paragraph of a document deletes anchored to object
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132279
   + unclear situation with wfm (Telesto in c6) and
     never worked (Ilmari, c7)
   + bug 124338 requests the opposite (Mike, c9)
   + "As Character" just delete, "To Character" mark/highlight the object
     first and require a second backspace to actually delete (similar to
     "To Paragraph") and "To Page" don't deleted at all (unless explicitly
     selected) (Heiko)
   + some other, more complex issue (Dieter, c13ff)
   => no further input, remove UX

 * Limiting to selected category limits to the category of selected
   item in tree
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147807
   + add label before the "Navigate By" dropdown and
     auto select the category when clicking at the tree (Eyal, c9)
     + adding a label before the dropdown occupies a lot of space
     + might be solved by the request to move the page number into another row
   + picking an entry in the Navigator list should select the appropriate
     item in the "Navigate By" dropdown and vice versa, if possible
   => go for it

 * When an Undo only affects out-of-view content, scroll there instead
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147812
   + leads to inconsistency and is unexpected for long-term users
   + not applying Undo not always makes clear what exactly has been changed
     (eg. delete a word on a page)
   + we give feedback by highlighting the undone part
   => NAB/WF

 * No ability to select all content with a specific style
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147769
   + supposed workflow with Find & Replace is inconvenient (Jan)
   + to select paragraphs in order to modify the formatting is
     not straight-forward
   + multi-selection makes is error-prone due to overwriting
   => recommend to not do it
