Comments: Dieter, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

 * Redesign font embedding options in sfx2/uiconfig/ui/documentfontspage.ui
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158588
   + improve help (Dieter, bug 130185)
   + dummy text with no embedded font = 28k, with all options on = 22000k
     with "only used" 927k, with all but limited to latin = 1800k
   + disable CTL & CJK depending on options and
   + check by default and disable the "Only used fonts" unless
     the first option "Embed fonts" is activated (Heiko)
   + if the document contains and CTL/CJK font it would be
     pointless to exclude them when saving used fonts only;
     and the other option makes not much sense alone (Rafael)
   + font scripts options needs a dev check
   => do it

 * FORMCONTROLS Enhancement: Fill Cell with Text Box in Calc
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158273
   + check/enable anchor to cell (resize with cell) and fit to cell size
     by default (Heiko)
   + changing this makes users needy and they may ask for better chart
     positioning, for example; how about a dedicated command to
     achieve the goal (Rafael)
   + could also be done per macro (Sahil)
   + goal was here to insert/manipulate many form controls; the workflow
     with copy/paste is tedious as cursor down or enter does not
     behave like at normal cells; which could be changed (Heiko)
  => comment

 * Incorrectly export number 0 form calc to PDF
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158533
   + option to show/include zero is on by default and one has to disable
     it intentionally
   + same behavior on Excel
   + dependency to some archived PDF format is unclear
   => ask the ESC

 * New sidebar deck for comments
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106316
   + splitter to expand the comments margin (Jim)
   + comments in margin is sufficient for ordinary users (John)
   + vertical space in margin is not enough for academia; management
     is missing, eg. to find unresolved comments (Rafael)
   + sidebar has limited vertical space
     + but allows the list being unsynchronized ie. many comments on one
     single page overlapping each other
   + requirements: add filter by status, eg. resolved
     no urgent need for the procrastination option "hide temporarily"
   + mockup design: take the Onlyoffice example 
https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=191371; sort is
     missing; referenced text should be visible in the sidebar pane
   + enhancements: predefined responses? might be useful for some (Rafael),
     but should be done resp. the list filled by users (Sahil)
   + replace the comments in margin or amends it (John)
   => improve the mockup and ask the community in a blog post
