Tickets/Topic

  * Editing a FONTWORK is difficult
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51138
    + a) hide the fontwork design
    + b) grey-out/watermark the design
      + preferred over a)
    + c) temporarily revert stretching and rotation effects
      + might work with limited features of MSO but unclear
        with all the options we have
    + d) edit the content in a separate dialog
      + sounds like the simplest solution
    => preference: b) - d) (any work)

  * UI: Add footnotes and endnotes to context menu when right
    clicking footnote in document area
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139716
    + no urgent need to contextually edit F&E at the variable field
    + apparently there is no special context for fields so this
      change implies quite some effort
    => WF

  * Unnecessary dialog box when attempting to sort single-column (or row) data
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139019
    + convenience and safety feature, WF (Mike)
    + unclear use case
    => WF

  * Already used terms in Find & Replace window to be accessible from input search
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140119
    + expand the list after character has been entered (Bogdan)
    + technically similar request in bug 133494
    + no objection
    => expand the list if number of results are <20 (and shrink further on type)

  * HYPERLINK DIALOG: Add folder as target
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140377
    + better document the workaround than adding more UI controls (Heiko)
    => forward to documentation
