    + 20 New tickets with needsUXEval Nov/11-18
    [Bug 145745] Create a "Duplicate sheet" option in LO Calc
    [Bug 145744] Improve cell selection outline for better visibility
    [Bug 145739] Column tab of Table Properties dialog is confusing and frustrating
    [Bug 145738] Column width dialog doesn't allow setting width of all columns at once
    [Bug 145728] "Insert > Object > Bar Code..." menu should be "QR and Barcode..."
 -> [Bug 136123] No way for Glow and Soft Edge settings in drawing styles and
                 in any dialogs
    + the feature is not in ODF at the moment
    [Bug 145696] UI: Glow and soft edge effects has no tab on any dialog; apparently
                 only accessible from sidebar
    [Bug 145673] UI: comment box doesn't expand while typing instead)
    [Bug 145684] UI: Image deck is below 'effect' and shadow in draw
    [Bug 145682] UI: Maybe rename "Area" deck to "Area fill" and effect deck to 'glow
                 and soft edge effect'
    [Bug 145681] UI: shadow not available in as deck in Writer sidebar
    [Bug 145678] UI: Draw sidebar decks show Character and paragraph deck too;
                 writer doesn't

    [Bug 139031] Some dropdowns in the PDF export dialog should be aligned better (kf5)

   -> * Writer table cells have address scheme that differs from Calc,
        "A-Z,a-z,AB-AZ,..." vs "A-Z,AA-AZ,BA-BZ,..."; lowercase cell
         refs are more error prone for cell formulas
        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145384
        + Writer tables have a reference system with lowercase letters after column Z
          + that does not comply with ODF, see
            https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145384#c27
        + Calc starts with uppercase AA after Z
        + Change it, breaking backwards compatibility?
          + no firm opinion (Michael S)
          + Writer tables are only used by power users, don't break compatibility (Miklos)
          + Writer formulas are not openformula, but something custom & undocumented (Michael S)
          + The references are documented (Eike)
            + quite some work to implement this correctly: read both the old and new markups and write the new correct one
        + would be confortable with a UI change if we don't break old documents (Miklos)
        + scope is smaller, it's only how we refer to formulas (Eike)
        + if we do a somewhat incompatible change, then fix the larget scope, switch to openformula (Michael S)
        + comment 27 has Eike's input
=> OK to switch to openformula in Writer tables if we don't break old documents and somebody steps up to do the work (all)

* Crash Testing (Caolan)
    + 81(+74) import failure, 4(+0) export failures
     - some were (apparently) due to orcus upgrade
     - rest probably fixed with fix ofz#41081 divide by zero
    + 0 coverity issues
    + 5 ossfuzz issues, all timeouts
