Thanks Olivier,

Have you any opinion on a likely time-scale for fixing the problem? Is this something that the developers are actively working on?

Regards,

Steve

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Extended tips and the "What's This?" menu option

The extended tips are not solved yet in the Help for LibreOffice.

It may be removed in the Guide, but it will return when we fix the issue.

     Good morning Olivier,

     Before I joined the project, I understand that these options did
     something useful. (I can't define exactly what or when!)

     As reported in bug 120538, they have not worked for some time, since
     the
     Help system was upgraded.

     In Calc, the Help > What's This? option on the Menu bar appears to be
     available (not greyed out) but doesn't appear to do anything. Similarly
     the Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General > Help > Extended tips
     option isn't greyed out but doesn't appear to do anything.

     In the latest Calc Guide, the text implies that these options will do
     something useful. The 6.0 Writer Guide gives the same impression and I
     haven't checked others. I am uncomfortable ignoring the fact that these
     options don't anything and running the risk of confusing readers.

     Do we have an agreement about how cases like this should be
     addressed in
     the guides?

     Regards,

     Steve
