Present: Hossein, Sahil, ring, Heiko
Comments: Ady, Brian, Cor, Eyal, Rafael, Jeff, Stephane

Tickets/Topics

 * Calc: default anchor everything to CELL
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160452
   + change default needs to have good reasons (Heiko)
   + add option to define the default is over-engineering (Heiko)
   + behavior my have changed in the past (Hossein)
 => resolve WF; suggest to change the topic into "remember last setting"

 * When opening Advanced filter dialog the "From" field should be
   filled with the address of current selection
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150937
   + reasonable request (Ady)
   + confusing label "Read Filter Criteria From" (Ady)
     + more common label is possible, eg. "Select Range"
       but unlikely to be more clear (Heiko)
   + prefilling data does not harm (Hossein, Heiko)
 => go for it

 * Using clone formatting enables scrolling with the mouse -- but it shouldn't
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99608
   + "issue" happens only when moving slowly from top, where moving the
     cursor on top makes sense
   + smooth scrolling rather than to jump to a certain position could
     be a solution (Hossein)
 => suggest to duplicate with 46988

 * Turn on "Range contains column labels" by default
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150027
   + different scenarios, requires more intelligent function (Brian)
   + remember last user choice for this option (Eyal)
   + controls got moved to the same tab for bug 131155 (Heiko)
   + option is checked if header-like data is detected (Cor)
     + apparently only on Windows, on Linux the last settings are remembered
   + the dialog has always stored the last settings, unclear report (Cor)
 => keep the smart functionality, resolve invalid

 * Add timer/clock to single-screen presentation
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160227
   + makes sense (Rafael)
   + unclear why the timer needs to be shown for the audience
   + presenter console uses own class/control
   + neither available in Excel, feature would lack compatibility
 => resolve WF in favor of 3rd party extension/macro

 * Right-clicking to select an always-shown comment in Calc "clicks through"
   and selects the cell behind it
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160290
   + to hide the object first requires additional clicks (Ady)
   + it's not necessary to hide the comment, one can move it easily (Sahil)
   + right click to select is not common interaction (Heiko)
   + respect the z-order (Jeff, Stephane, Heiko, Hossein)
 => do as requested
