+ [Bug 168146] [UI] Housekeeping: extra icons not used/not displayed in
starmath settings
+ [Bug 168149] Want the ability to apply SQL queries to a selected range
+ [Bug 168092] Column titles overlap when column widths are small
+ [Bug 168091] Some users dislike menus extending upwards from anchor/click
point
+ [Bug 168082] Support variable-width column charts like MS Excel's
-> + [Bug 168080] Presentation/template shows placeholder text in creator's (?)
locale rather than in the UI locale
+ could ignore the doc language here and prefer the UI language here
+ sometimes it's wanted to preserve the original locale e.g. in
Writer
+ other times the target user's language is wanted, e.g. conference
template
+ optional to have "no language" to ask for the UI language? (Miklos)
+ not possible to set "no language" currently (Heiko)
+ "none" language is something we have, but it's created for "don't
spellcheck this"
+ this would be rather "auto" -> use language from my config
+ if you simply delete the language XML markup, then it'll turn into
the user's localte (Caolan)
+ think this was used for Impress templates in the past
+ see if this still works
+ can be done, but done manually (Heiko)
+ would be nice to have UI for this
=> sounds reasonable
+ [Bug 168059] The order of tabs (whats on top, what is at the bottom)
in the vertical tab in the image dialog is bit strange
* Crash Testing (Caolan)
+ 135(+1) import failure, 27(+0) export failures
- https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Crashtesting
- three new issues, those are fixed now
+ 27 coverity issues
- analysis seems stuck, cancel and restarted
+ 6 ossfuzz issues
- 4 timeouts, 2 OOM
- no change, but oss-fuzz reports build success, so looks stable

* Mentoring/easyhack update (Hossein)
