Present: Hossein, Heiko
Comments: Eike, Eyal, Mike, Kabilo, Stephane

Tickets/Topics

 * Allow entering textbox edit mode with single click instead
   of double-click
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153749
   + ideally we consistently implement single click to activate
     the (text box) object vs. double click to enter the edit mode
   + Impress/Draw has the option General > Allow quick editing (Heiko)
   + Excel works as requested and single click goes into edit mode and
     one has to grab the frame to move (Hossein)
   + bad idea for charts as it results in unintentional editing (Eike)
     + see also bug 141841
   + oppose to change the global default and opposing a quick editing
     mode for charts (Eyal)
   => implement as an option, off by default for Calc and Writer, and
      on for Impress/Draw as of today

 * Writer - protected section - allow to insert content into fields
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154808
   + fields provide important features, also useful for templates (Mike)
   + one use case is to hide sections but don't delete (Kabilo)
   + unclear how to protect (Eyal)
     + in the field dialog per "[ ] Ignore protection" or
     + in the section dialog next to "[ ] Editable in read-only documents"
       per "[ ] Keep fields editable in case of protection"
   + use case is weak; the field to control hidden parts does not need
     to be in a protected section (Heiko, Hossein)
   => plenty of options, rather not do it

 * UI: Remediate frustration of unclear style names in style-name
   picklist contexts
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155054
   + picklist / dropdown should show hierarchy (OP, Eyal)
   + WF because of the Automatic filter option (Heiko)
   + trees are complex UI elements and detrimental to usability (Heiko)
   + request could be solved with some kind of alias; although
     the current situation is fine (Hossein)
   => resolve WF

 * "Growing Liberty" Impress template has a slide of unclear
   (suspicious for advertizing) nature in the end
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155390
   + keep last slide with icons, +1 (Rania, Laurent)
   + provide icons rather per Gallery, -1 (Eyal)
   + credits look like advertising, -1 (Mike, Heiko, Hossein)
   => remove the slide (1 page)

 * Make "Level" spinbox into a dropdown menu in the Document tab
   of "Insert - Field"
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154052
   + agree with the suggestion (Stephane, Heiko, Hossein)
   + don't mind if direct editing remains possible (Eyal)
   => do it
