Tickets/Topics

 * Overhaul terminology on the "Text along Path" dialog
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161956
   + title without ellipsis, command should have ellipsis though (Heiko)
   + "Style" => "Type" (Regina)
     + "Character Orientation and Skew" (Tuomas)
     + "Orientation", "Positioning" ("Type" is too unspecific) (Eyal)
     + "Text Layouts" (Sahil)
   => Orientation
   + tooltip "Baseline Off" => "Off" (Regina)
     + disable controls for "Off" (Eyal)
   => move out of the toolbar and make it a checkbox "[x] Enable"
   + "Rotate" => "Characters Perpendicular to Path" (Tuomas)
     + "Follow Baseline" (Rafael)
     + "Follow Path" (if frame title becomes "Orientation") (Eyal)
   => ""Follow Path"
   + "Upright" =>  "Characters Upright" (Tuomas)
     + "Upright along path" (Rafael)
     + "Ignore Path" (Eyal)
       + disagreement for this
     + Interpretation may depend on user's frame of reference:
       is it "upright relative to the path", or
       "upright relative to the page"? May be confusing (Eyal)
   => no decision
   + "Orientation" => "Flip" (Tuomas)
     + disagree (Regina)
     + "Invert Orientation" (Tuomas)
     + "Reverse" (Eyal)
     + move into the to-be-renamed "Orientation" section, eg,
       instead of the current "Baseline Off" item (Eyal)
   => "Inverse" (Orientation) and move to the other frame
   + Shadow Offset: tooltip "Distance X/Y" are unclear (Eyal)
   => comment

 * Setting to add XY shift to pasted drawing etc. objects
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161950
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97993
   + see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100028
   + sometimes it has an advantage to place the copied object at the
     exact position, for example when the user deletes the source or
     if the target is some other document (Heiko, Eyal)
   + prefer a slight offset to give some feedback of the paste
     option (John, Rafael)
   + moving an object is simple (Eyal) but shift+arrow for large movements
     could place the object at the exact position again (Heiko)
   + cut objects likely not wanted to be offset (Heiko)
   + objects at the edge of the universe? would be placed at the
     max position (Rafael)
   + introduce an option to toggle the offset on/off (Eyal)
   => do it

 * When toggling an item in toolbar context menu > Visible Buttons
   - keep the menu open
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161949
   + odd with all other menu selection actions (Stuart)
   + standard behavior (Heiko)
   + tools > customize offers a static dialog for this (Stuart)
   => WF

 * Viewing: Feature request. Is it possible to add a horizontal
   scroll search
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161862
   + only reasonable use case is probably to focus some column/cell
     that is out of view so one can see the content from Z1:100 while
     at the same time A1:100 is taken into the tooltip on scroll (Heiko)
   + freeze is a sufficient function for this (Rafael)
   + or hide columns (Heiko)
   + showing content from the sheet in a tooltip would be a
     hack (Rafael, Heiko, Eyal)
   + wouldn't work on all OS/DE anyway (Rafael)
   => no compelling use case, hackish implementation => WF

 * Implement Cyrillic Mongolian numbering for headings
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161744
   + add Mongolian for now and fix the lengthy list later (and
     create an extra ticket for that) (Eyal)
   + make the alphanumeric letters depending on the language of
     the character style per list style (Heiko)
   + have a "More..." option and show alternatives in an extra
     dialog (Mike)
   => comment
