   + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/37742/
   + Final decision needed to submit Jay's patch

   + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/39017/
   + Final decision needed to submit Jay's patch
   -> accepted, +2'ed, merged

* 'Spelling' or 'Spelling and Grammar'
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87648
   + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/40717/
   + "If we instead swap the .uno:SpellingAndGrammarDialog command for .uno:SpellDialog
      in the menu and toolbar xml, we could make this change and backport it as well." (Jay)
   -> there might be code that removes "and Grammar" when the dialog is opened in other modules, eg. Calc
   -> merge but double-check

  * Insert field in Calc only in edit mode
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89261
   + what if cell has content and in case of multi selection?
   + Better have dedicated functions/specifier for this, e.g. =INFO() (Heiko)
   + no, because it clutters the menu (Jay)
   + no, because the target is unclear in multiselection (heiko)
   -> WF

* Use direct formatting and character style in ToC
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87604
   + Limitation unclear, e.g. font size?
   + Scope unclear, alphabetical index, figures, tables...
   + Take all properties (Heiko)
   + implementation issues to pick single properties and not use font size, for example (Stuart, Jay)
   -> postponed for next week
