Present: Cor, Heiko
Comments: Stephane, Andre

Tickets/Topics

 * Format->Text menu name is confusing in Calc
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153300
   + rename Format > Text to Format > Character in Calc (and maybe also
     other modules too)
   + menu items consist of Font and Font Effects from the dialog (Stephane)
     + Font Effects might fit but font weight wouldn't be included
   + Writer has a menu item "Character..." (Heiko)
   + "Text formatting", not a better solution though (Cor)
   => no good solution, this has to be learned; WF

 * Enhancement Request: Exclude some pages from field "Page Count"
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153259
   + flag on page break to exclude single pages from counting (Andre)
     + very impractical since the hard page break is assigned to
       the 1st paragraph (Cor)
       One would need to add extra hard page breaks for each ..
   + page style attribute to suppress counting pages (Heiko)
     + bug 71583 requests individual counting and should be closed
     + has probably a use case (Cor) but should be realized as document
       information and not taken into a variable (Heiko)
   + requires a new flag in ODF
   => do it as page style

 * Insert Caption and Caption Options dialogs have a mix of settings
   affecting the whole category or only current caption
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153248
   + "local" and "global" settings is one dialog is very
     confusing (Stéphane)
     + Yes - clearly indicating is a must. (Cor)
       but it may prevent the need of extra dialogs
   + discussed with Stephane and we clarified the issues;
     have to work on it (Heiko)
   => comment later

 * LO should retain selection on first document when interacting with
   second document
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152744
   + selection color needs to be dimmed (Cor)
     + maybe the reason why it is not shown at all (Heiko)
   => worth to do

 * Revert commit of Bug 91415 - Scale Calc's comment indicator with
   zoom level (please, do not)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153106
   + want to ponder over it (Cor)
     asking a question for clarification - don't get the real problem
   + wild idea: draw text/numbers with background; that would cover
     the comment indicator; but we seem to not have this option on
     a quick glance (Heiko)
   => keep open for now
