Description Jim Avera 2020-06-21 00:11:28 UTC
Description:
The Help text for "Show Changes" seems to have key information
missing.  It looks like a skeleton with missing parts.

Currently it looks like this (as viewed in Firefox 77.0.1):

  Show Changes
  ___________________________________________________________

  Shows or hides recorded changes.

  --------------------------------------
  | To access this command...  [nothing]
  --------------------------------------

  You can change the display properties of the markup 
  elements by choosing [nothing]

  When you rest the mouse pointer over a change markup 
  in the document, a Tip displays the author and the 
  date and time that the change was made.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Writer, do Help->LibreOfficeDev Help (browser opens)
2. Type "Show Changes" into the Index box and search
3. Click [GLOBAL] Show changes...

Actual Results:
Displayed help text is missing useful information

Expected Results:
Help text should say how to open the dialog and use it to control displaying changes.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 1 Olivier Hallot 2020-06-21 20:25:16 UTC
This section is controlled by the module in the page URL (?DbPAR=CALC or ?DbPAR=WRITER). If this param is no set, the section contents is empty.
