        + Noel looking into this.

* multi-sheet calc document (Jean-Sebastian)
    + selecting five sheets of ten say.
    + updating a protected cell, can’t find the protected cell
    + an idea – good to have a lock icon near sheet label (?)
       + in error msg – the name of the sheet.
    + recommend talking to erAck on IRC (Michael)
    + saw some enhancement proposal in bugzilla tdf#95880 (Bubli)
    + recall was a patch to list un-protected cell of current sheet (Eike)
       + think it is in master.

                + bit of a problem ! - bisected to Khaled’s commit in
                  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107942
                + breaks remote desktops too – some DirectWrite horror ?
                + DirectWrite rendering seems to be the issue.
                + unclear what to do – disabling DirectWrite is far from ideal
                + would love a fix before 5.4 (Xisco)
                + 3 bugs mentioned as fixed by current code (Miklos)

                + Michael S - looked at it a couple of weeks ago.
                   + someone fixed problem deleting part of para – then the
                     at-character anchored objects are not deleted – but moved
                     to index 0
                   + the oldest commit - changed that so they are actually deleted
                   + other parts of the code expect them not to be deleted.
                   + 2 different undo classes crash in this case.
                   + unfortunately, not had enough time to look at it.
                   + alternative – just revert that commit.
