Tickets/Topics

 * Auto-size the "Search Results" dialog (after a find & replace across
   multiple sheets) to avoid scrolling
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157207
   + use ellipsis too (Stephane)
   + emphasizing the text that is explicitly being searched (Ady)
     + bug 157227
   + agree with the request to use more of the display (Stuart)
   + wrapping might be another idea (Rafael)
     + rather not because makes reading more difficult (Sahil)
   + ellipsis at start and end to bring the search term into the view (Felix)
   + simple solution covers most cases (and can be done as easyhack) (Cor)
   + ellipsis hinders reading the text, eg. if the search term is near end (Cor)
   + dialog is good as it, width should be adjusted carefully (Hossein)
   + With various scaling factors (2x, 3x, etc.) and different DPIs (HiDPI)
     these days, the issue of too big / too small dialogs and the need to add
     scrolling can also be seen elsewhere (Hossein)
   => resize the dialog if the content takes more space but only up to a
      reasonable width

 * CALC UI: Menu item "View headers" in menu "View" named wrong
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159738
   + changed because of the Notebookbar
     a) have a dedicated NotebookbarLabel
     b) change back and accept the longer label
        + or hide the View Header command in the NB variant
     c) change the UI label to "View Headers"
     d) accept the situation, ie. NAB/WF
   + a) sounds good but c) could be a quick solution here (Rafael)
     + probably with some tooltip (Heiko)
   + a) is okay but prefer d) rather than c) (Cor)
     + nitpicking anyway; tooltip is good (Rafael)
   + icon on the command would be nice (Felix)
   => add a tooltip "Toggle row/column header on/off" to command
      and the tools > options dialog

 * UI: A button to expand the animation picker dialog to dedicated dialog
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145038
   + icons may help, even in the current form, in sidebar (Hossein)
   + icon view like at the transition deck sounds good (Rafael)
   + dedicated dialog needed for notebookbar-only variants (Sahil)
   + on the long run we should add some styles-like widget for
     animations as known from MSO (Hossein)
   => comment

 * Reworking of dialogues Organize macros (make from 5 existing only one)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120658
   + Issue is worse than that considering Python, and APSO (Hossein)
   + Most things (editing, etc.) are not usable for Python, even with
     5 dialogs (Hossein)
   + Every change should have in mind that it is about macro programming in
     general, and not only BASIC scripting (Hossein)
   + unified dialogs are not always easier to use (Cor)
   + suggested proposal is difficult to implement and suspect a lot of
     side effects (Rafael)
   + APSO is the way to go for Python at least (Rafael, Hossein)
