3 categories

It appears MABs can be sorted in 3 categories :

• layout related (right align tab, shrunk text, issue with endofparagraph glyph when right align, etc). See also '#layout' tag on the bug tracker. There are some more very annoying layout issues (some being related to hyphenation)
• styles related (object copy and paste from other document or from scrapbook, style import, undo messes styles, copy and paste messes styles ...). See also '#styles' tag on the bug tracker
• User interface related and search related

Brainstorming & Nominations

TODO: CONFIRM or COMMENT and VOTE on candidates
Note: Please label bugs using the bug template: {{b|#####}} where # siginifies bug number on the Mantis Bugtracker

• All "layout" bugs : see #layout tag on the bug tracker

These are layout bugs (not including UI bugs), as "right tab scrambles text" or "text is scrambled when image too close" etc

Votes -> (JLuc +1)
