Where did you get that? Pressing the help button leads me to http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Options or its translated version. Nothing about formatting there. Same with an installed helppack. Please be more precise. (Addition: Please file one bug report per bug) Created attachment 55241 [details]

Settings in LOdev_general
You could see the difference between
- what says the help
- what shows the screen
in the german version (linux rpm)
I just see: the double-digit-year-dates are at the top of the help-window. This is wrong in my first post. Created attachment 60957 [details]

Thanks for bugreport reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.3 on Fedora 64 bit using English UI, local help reproduced in 3.5.2 on Windows 32 bit using Russian UI, online help Problem: button "Help" on dialog contains link to wrong page of help (needed help page exist) changing version to 3.3.4 as most early reproducible @Sasha: this is not a bug. When you press the Help button or press F1, LibreOffice invokes the help with the help ID of the UI element that currently has the focus. Just try, press Tab to move the focus somewhere into the General dialog. The correct help page will come up for the Help button. The real documentation bug here is that the help page is not accurate, it describes removed features and does not describe added features. Andras Timar committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "libreoffice-3-6": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/help/commit/?id=35dea1fe6de118bd05df998496a884c279123da7&g=libreoffice-3-6 fdo#44207 update help page for Tools - Options - LibreOffice - General It will be available in LibreOffice 3.6. Andras Timar committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/help/commit/?id=73262bdc1199ed5145e6bb3155c4b34255cc9120 fdo#44207 update help page for Tools - Options - LibreOffice - General Thanks for fixing and for additional explanations Indeed, after pressing Tab this button works. But this is highly unexpected by users, that help not working without Tab key. |
