Description Ming Hua 2020-12-06 12:14:54 UTC
The recently added tooltip for "User-defined" feature in the borders tab in many dialogs says: "Click edge or corner to cycle through three states: set, unchanged, remove."  This was added in:

https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/bf4379690ad7721ed62c488c7750ad6c214cd63d

Resolves: tdf#34398  add tooltip to "user-defined" for table borders

However, this tab is not just used for table borders, as the borders tab is in many welded dialogs.  From my incomprehensive testing, only Writer's table properties dialog and Calc's cell format dialog support this three-state setting, while Writer's page style dialog and frame properties dialog also each have a borders tab, but the "User-defined" feature there only support two states: set and remove.  I suspect three-state is actually the exception rather than norm.

All these dialogs' borders tab apparently use the same tooltip.  Therefore the current one can cause confusion when seen in dialogs not supporting three-state user-defined border setting.

I guess tooltips count as documentation, therefore this component.

Incorrect guess. See descriptions in Status. Changing to UI because applies to more than one module.

One more thing: in Calc's cell formatting dialog, there are diagonal lines that can be set in addition to the cell border lines.  So the "Click edge or corner" wording probably needs revision as well.

Dear Ming Hua,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
