Comments: Stuart, Steve, Ady, Kenneth

Tickets/Topics

 * The "Check for updates" dialog should provide links to
   release candidate wiki pages
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149400
   + Wiki format is sufficient (Stuart)
   + No problem with a link to the point release in the updater (Rafael)
   + Not much beneficial since minor updates are (usually) just
     bug fixes (Rafael)
   + unclear why someone wants to learn about release candidates (Sahil)
   => keep with minor importance and add a link to the major and the minor
     release at the update info

 * Comment indicator size and color aesthetics and customization
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162660
   + proposals in c16
   + no need to fix, other app do the same (Rafael)
   + depending on the background? probably not; and makes the UI busy (Rafael)
   + if many users complain about the border we may add an advanced
     option (Sahil)
   + border was white in the past
   + using an icon could be a solution (Sahil)
     + but blocks changing the color, has issues with zooming,
       and RTL/LTR (Heiko)
   => resolve WF; we have no solution that makes everyone happy

 * make active cell highlight selection grid line a bright grey instead
   of white in dark mode or not use it at all?
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162759
   + competitors also show a white inline rectangle (Rafael)
   + necessary to keep the focus rectangle visible even on a cell
     background close to the highlight/accent color (Ady)
   + unlikely use case (Steve)
   + a) use document background (not sure to provide good contrast; and
        looks ugly),
     b) merge the highlight color with the background and have less contrast,
     c) go with white (guarantees to be visible together with the focus color)
   + no user ever complained on other office suites about the color (Rafael)
   => WF

 * UI missing for nesting character styles
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115311
   + ability to nest CS is extremely important (Kenneth)
   + request is to apply more than one CS, eg. Emphasis+Strong Emphasis
     (Eyal) (and consequently to highlight both in the Stylist)
   + it is possible to inherit CS and Strong Emphasis can be moved
     under Emphasis which applies attributes from both styles; this nesting
     can also be done per Inherit From attribute (Heiko)
     + Style Inspector does not properly read the nested CS attributes
   + stacking is what Eyal suggests while nesting implies a hierarchy (Sahil)
   + similar discussion for PS where one style is wished to be available
     under different parents (Heiko)
   + we should not make the styles handling more complicated (Rafael)
   => comment and keep ticket for more wisdom
