New needsUXEval from Aug/30-Sep/05

 * No keyboard shortcuts for next/previous heading
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119665

 * There isn't tool Gradient from toolbar Transformations on Sidebar
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119689

 * Document comparison option not to take into account style changes
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119605

 * Implement "Most recent fields inserted"
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119594

For discussion

 * Personas not found again (seems root cause is different than tdf#114731)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118881
   + remove the feature or make it an extension
   + replace by (hard-coded?) color schemes (night mode alike)
   + can we ship a few by default (Michael)
      + allow to modify it later by extension (Heiko)
         + don’t like to move things to an extension (Stephan)
             + data-content has to be incorporated
             + its an interface; hard to spot and break etc.
             + careful with these.
      + reasonably well specified XML + imgs (Michael)
         + not against it – but want it done well (Stephan)
             + extensions not a panacea etc.
      + current state – parse HTML from Mozilla manually (Miklos)
         + probably cleaner than what we have now.
   + is it a significant bug ? (Michael)
      + as-is, it doesn’t work (Xisco)
         + reports every now & then.

* Crash Testing (Caolan)
    + 0(-1) import failure, 38(+36) export failures
      - a few (~4) are animation pptx export related
      - others (~34) the doc ones are suspicious, not reproducible for me
         - common theme is perhaps remote images ?
             - neon / curl ?
         - spike here in the last 2 weeks.
         - prolly killing of malloc wrappers for new/delete
    + valgrind logs ?
      - openssl was generating some problems – now cleaned up.
    + ~5 coverity issues
      - some warnings in a new external project – nothing serious.  
    + Google / ossfuzz: down for a while, build fixed again
      - 6 issues, 2 serious
      - build broken again now – something wrt. ICU
          - problem shared with other projects; and debugging
    + ForcePoint, round 9
      - 5 issues
      - complicated, no progress this week
          - writer layout issues when exporting to PDF
          - perhaps in bad situations just crash-out etc.
          - perhaps will just throw an exception for the corner-case...

         + 2177 (last 7 days) (+395)
         + top 1 - new crash in 6.1.0.3 in GL – looks like locking
           + epoxy upgrade on master didn’t fix tdf#119028
           + probably not worth backporting to 6.1
           + aware of no reproducer steps at the moment 
         + top 3 – regression since 6.1.
