Description: Every time I launch LibO I see the same "Tip of the day" Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch LibO with active "Tip of the Day" » Start Center appears 2. click a Recently used document » Document and additionally message popup "Tip of the Day" appears Actual Results: every time I try the same "palette since 3.5" tip Expected Results: A tip I never have seen before appears Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Observed with Server Installation of Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 2e3b0c5d42d60d46cd9f8b8eda9424b095c63418; Windows 6.1 Same behavior with newly created user profile and using a copy of my normal user profile At least some of these Tips are really useful, but I will never reach the last one 😥 BTW: I wonder whether https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/D6zAC5wddW83xWT (Bug 124658 ) still is used? I did not see "palette since 3.5" tip
agree Heiko, I think should be mechanism to display of randomly tip
The code should randomly pick one of the 300+ tips (not sequentially because of not storing another value in the registry). Will look into it why it's not working as expected.
Yes, random might be better than linear

Justin's patch makes the "Next Tip" sequentially while keeping the first shown random.
