Description: The Format Cells dialog has a dedicated "Help" button which used to open Help about the features on the Format Cells dialog tab being viewed. Now it just starts help at the top level of Calc. Functional regression from 5.x Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Calc spreadsheet 2. Select a cell 3. Rightclick->Format Cells; select "Numbers" tab 4. Click the "Help" button Actual Results: Browser opens at top level of entire help docset for Calc Expected Results: Should open help for the features in the dialog Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Regression from the old help system in 5.x
Confirm. Url https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/main0000.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=CALC
Cause: The URL passed to the Help system *with the dialog Help button* has changed and is wrong. For the Calc Format cell dialog, the URL passed to the Help system *with the Help button* is always file:///home/tdf/git/core/instdir/help/index.html?Target=scalc/modules/scalc/ui/formatcellsdialog/help&Language=pt-BR&System=UNIX&Version=6.3 independent of the tab displayed in the dialog. Since there is no page with bookmark Target=scalc/modules/scalc/ui/formatcellsdialog/help the default page is open, which is the Module Help main entry page. Not passing the actual tab displayed in the dialog with the dialog Help button, all tabs will open the default page, breaking the Help system. It happens with many other dialogs, including Writers Paragraph dialog. With Writer's Format Paragraph dialog, the URL sent to the Help system is file:///home/tdf/git/core/instdir/help/index.html?Target=swriter/modules/swriter/ui/paradialog/help&Language=pt-BR&System=UNIX&Version=6.3 which also shows an inexistant bookmark within the Help pages: Target=swriter/modules/swriter/ui/paradialog/help But, if the same dialog Help is invoked with F1 key, then the right URL is sent to the Help system: file:///home/tdf/git/core/instdir/help/index.html?Target=swriter/cui/ui/textflowpage/checkAuto&Language=pt-BR&System=UNIX&Version=6.3 Target=swriter/cui/ui/textflowpage/checkAuto
Confirm at LO Version 6.2.0.3 Work around per #2: Use F1 and not the Help button

Are the linux builds broken?

(In reply to Jim Avera from comment #8) > Are the linux builds broken? Hello Jim, New builds are available since you wrote the comment. Could you please give it a try now ?
Hi Caolán, Do you think this should be cherry-picked to 6.1 branch as well ?
Hmm... the fix does NOT seem to work in master built March 3, 2019 Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: bbc5347be70d11d187cd537dd73cdab584def719 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2019-03-03_20:19:18 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. run /path/to/soffice --calc 2. Right-click any cell->Format Cells 3. Click "Numbers" tab 4. Click "Help" RESULTS: Opes top of Calc help The URL in the browser address bar is file:///path/to/install/opt/libreofficedev6.3/help/en-US/text/scalc/main0000.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=CALC
Actually, the 64-bit Linux builds still seem to be broken... Today is March 12 and the most recent build I could find in https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@anything is dated March 3. Strangely, the mod-date listed for the *directory* https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF/ is March 11, but it only contains builds dated through 2019-03-03_20.19.18/ Am I looking in the wrong place?

I downloaded Versión: 6.2.2.1 Id. de compilación: fcd633fb1bf21b0a99c9acb3ad6e526437947b01 Subprocs. CPU: 1; SO: Windows 6.1; Repres. IU: predet.; VCL: win; Configuración regional: es-ES (es_ES); Idioma de IU: es-ES Calc: threaded and the issue is still reproducible...
@Xisco > This one is recent: > https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86@87-TDF/ But isn't that a 32-bit build (x86, not x86_64) ?
still works fine for me

I believe this is fixed now. Difference in online and offline help fallback worked

The one you used is from 2019-08-09, Caolán's commit is from 2019-08-16

Sorry, I downloaded the latest but it seems to be old. @Xisco: Did you build your own, or download a master build for Linux? https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ seems to have nothing later than 2019-08-09 which is now 10 days old. Is that no longer the right place to find builds of master?
Ok, I too confirm it's fixed in master build of 2019-08-21_09:30:10 And, to docs look really good! Thanks to all.
