Present: Cor, Heiko
Comments from: Seth, Roman, Eike, Stuart, Peter

Tickets

 * Add an action to remove both a section and its content
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129733
 * Provide functionality to move sections
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129735
 * Select all in selection
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129737
   + sections must not be mistaken as container for content;
     + strongly disagree with that and copy/cut works when selecting all content (Cor)
     adding functionality like copy/paste weakens the pure formatting concept
     however, users expect to interaction with sections like moving, deleting;
     via Navigator it is possible to drag and insert as copy (Heiko)
   + insert section with link to another file keep the linked content after removing the section 
(Seth)
   + might be good to have the standard functions cut,copy,paste of section (Roman)
   => let's introduce standard functionality; add option "Remove including content" for "Remove"
      at the sections dialog
   => move can be done per paragraph or switching the sections
   => comment on the tickets to explain and see what Peter thinks (Cor)

 * Set default Find (Ctrl+F) options, either separate, or based on settings in find dialog (Ctrl+H)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72080 (see also bug 119200)
 * Unify "find" toolbar with "find & replace" dialog
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129783
   + no functional benefit to be gained by combining them; WF (Stuart)
 * Add customize option to find "Whole words only" to Find toolbar
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129469
 * make "find in current selection" as default behavior
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129781

   + Should the Find bar offer customization for the search functions of the Find & Replace dialog?
     Should it be a limited set of search functions?
     Should the configuration of the Find bar fully pick up its settings from the Find & Replace 
dialog--and be 
     stateful/recorded to user profile? (Stuart)
   + hidden settings, eg. taking the options from the search dialog into the find bar, is awkward 
(Eike)
   + have dedicated options for the find bar (Heiko)
     + bottomless pit, bad usability; eg. unclear what was set last time, Reset needed (Cor)
   + goal is to just quickly find a simple term without checking what options have been set;
     everything else has to be done with the dialog (Cor, Heiko)
   + "Match Case" is actually too much (Heiko)
     + keep it (Cor)
   => resolve requests as WF, take bug 115665 serious
