Description Steve Fanning 2020-08-16 19:28:26 UTC

Description:
Most dialogs in Calc provide a Help button which, when clicked, takes the user to view a context sensitive page within the Help system.

The absence of such a button on this dialog is inconsistent, if not overly problematic.

Steps to Reproduce:
Select Edit > Track Changes > Manage on the Menu bar and inspect the layout of the Manage Changes dialog. Expect to see Help button, as on most other Calc dialog boxes.

Actual Results:
No Help button is provided.

Expected Results:
Not applicable


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 1 NISZ LibreOffice Team 2020-08-19 08:10:52 UTC

Confirmed with:

Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: c10ea0e903ee2aba126087fc81702233b3a509cf
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (hu_HU); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

This is common problem with Writer which uses the same dialog.

There is however a page (with subpages for the two tabs) that could be linked up here nicely:

Tested with

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c856f9bec12d98ed49f01578ded79f16ae7be051

Calc: CL

Help button is present in writer (haven't tested in Calc), but there is no target ("Could not find Help page (404)", although we have https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-GB/text/shared/01/02230400.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=WIN
