Tickets/Topics

 * Please implement the word-like "fit to page" function #fittopage #fit-to-page
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173543
   + rarely used, some benefit, not efficient -> WF (Jan)
   + too many degrees of freedom, too special procedure -> WF (Heiko)
   + plenty of options available to fit text into a page -> WF (Bogdan)
 => NAB/WF

 * "Export as EPUB"-settings should retain settings between sessions
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172725
   + "[ ] Remember these settings" (Heiko), wouldn't be a solution (Jan)
   + Metadata should be filled via document properties; IIRC there is
     a ticket (Heiko)
   + fixing issues around document properties going into metadata is
     needed; eg. language is not respected (Heiko)
   + custom properties are not properly exported (Bogdan)
   + we could remember the first three options (Bogdan)
 => do not store user input but fix issues; ask if first three is okay

 * View/User Interface... dialog has a "preview" section, does not actually
   preview
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173593
   + UI picker has a too realistic preview (Jan)
   + remove the label "Preview" (Bogdan)
 => easyhack

 * Improve context menu of selected text
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172627
   + usually we hide root nodes that have no children or commands that
     are not effective in the context (Bogdan)
   + no good reason to make an exception for Synonyms (Bogdan)
   + remove Page in selection context (Jan)
     + OT here; and IINM we don't have a 'selection' context (Heiko)
 => NAB/WF
