Tickets/Topics

 * Customize dialog is too big to display on 1280x800 laptop screen
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154021
   + resolved NOB, Gnome theme occupies white space excessively (Stuart)
   + reducing font size solved the problem (Vince, OP)
   + we might be able to reduce the number of shown items
     in the lists (Heiko)
   + we should consider to adjust the minimum required size (John)
     + 1280x800 is still common (Heiko)
     + most users are on Windows (John)
   + don't make it worse for the vast majority (John)
   => keep ticket in WF/NAB state

 * Clone format of unmerged cells breaks up merging, applies to
   first unmerged cell only
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153899
   + merging cells with the keep option does exactly this, we
     must not format hidden cells
   + copying/cloning merged cells takes merge state into account,
     however, applying a format via cell style, which is the supposed
     workflow does not
   + cloning the merged state is a convenience feature
   => WF/NAB

 * Comment indicator is too small, non-circumspect, easy to miss
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154080
   + indicators have changed recently and are easy to spot at 100%
     but still somewhat harder at 200%
   + indicators can be controlled by TOCV > Text Overflow resp.
     Comment indicator
   + keeping the UI and the interaction simple is the best, meaning
     no flashing for example
   + changing the comment color is interesting
   + corner case, hard to believe it's needed by many
   => move checkboxes and colors for text overflow and comment indicator
     into application color (easy hack w. medium to interesting difficulty)

 * Insert Caption and Caption Options dialogs have a mix of settings
   affecting the whole category or only current caption
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153248
   + excellent mockup in bug 148597 comment 20
   + seems to be powerful, and makes it more consistent (John)
   + useful for power users (John)
   => interesting GSoC project
