    • [Bug 163036] Can’t delete a chart right after insertion
    • [Bug 163021] SET ZOOM LEVEL for all windows at ONCE: setting the zoom level
      universally, for all open document windows at once
      → + [Bug 161492] Vertical Tab dialogs–Options column in Area section is not wide
      enough in paragraph style dialog
      • if there is no further work going into this, then the vertical tab dialogs idea won’t fly (Heiko)
      • the idea was always that it’s done when it’s done, so no problem with the approach to not have vertical tab dialogs in releases (Thorsten)
      • like the vertical tab idea, but it’s a lot of work (Hossein)
        • it’s not just moving tabs from the top to the left
        • also needs a redesign of the dialog
    • [Bug 162878] Reworked localized Impress templates look ugly in RU
    • [Bug 162997] Support reloading of font list when new fonts added to the system
      (e.g. with fc-cache)
    • [Bug 138708] Unwanted scrolling when moving/positioning an image with arrow keys
    • [Bug 162968] When inserting PivotChart, can’t choose data series in rows/columns
    • [Bug 162969] PivotChart data series order not updated when sorting
      PivotTable rows
    • [Bug 162970] Clone formatting brush does nothing when applied from chart to chart
    • [Bug 162967] Want access from borders toolbar menubutton to Format > Cells…
      Borders pane
      → + [Bug 162933] Add “Check for updates” button in the About dialog
      • request is to have update info in the dialog
      • idea is to get rid of the updater dialog, and have everything in the about dialog
      • should play nicely with the MAR update mechanism
        • e.g. Chrome does this
      • saw a recent report: people still use 7.6 & then complain about lack of updates
  • Crash Testing (Caolan)

  • Crash Reporting (Xisco)
