Description Bernhard G 2021-10-06 12:28:35 UTC
Description:
It is distracting, and not helpful, to open e.g. a Writer document and see a 'Tip of the day' on Impress. Or vice versa.
The 'Tip of the day' would be much more useful if it matched the document type currently in the foreground window, and on the user's attention.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure that 'Tip of the day' is enabled:
Extras -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General -> Help -> show dialogue "Tip of the day" on startup
2. Close Libreoffice. Open a fresh Openoffice instance or document. 
3. 'Tip of the day' is shown.

Actual Results:
The shown "Tip of the day' may or may not match the document type currently open. In many cases, it does not match. Which is distracting.

Expected Results:
Whenever a Writer document is opened, the "Tip of the day" (if shown) should only present advice related to Writer.
Whenever a Calc document is opened, the "Tip of the day" (if shown) should only present advice related to Calc. 
Whenever an Impress document is opened, the "Tip of the day" (if shown) should only present advice related to Impress.
... etc ...


Reproducible: Always

Additional Info:
Version: 7.2.1.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 20(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE
7.2.1-2
Calc: threaded

The issue exists since "Tip of the day" was introduced. I do not know enough about LibreOffice's history to put the finger on that version number. I put a guess in the above mandatory field "Version (earliest affected)", it may be correct or not.
