Works in 7.5
Comment 4 sdc.blanco 2023-02-15 01:01:15 UTC
Works erratically in:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d466df5bc220eb80b8a51ff64507de881b938ed3
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: da-DK (da_DK); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded


Details:

1. Always goes to correct page ( https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/shared/guide/template_manager.html ) but not correct bookmark in this page.

2. When opening the Template Manager for the first time, and pressing F1 with the "Manage" button selected, it always goes to "Search"

HID=sfx/ui/templatedlg/search_filter#bm_id041620170649376935

3. Leaving the Template Manager open and repeating F1 on the "Manage" button, it usually goes to "Search", but occasionally has gone correctly to "Manage"

HID=sfx/ui/templatedlg/action_menu#bm_id041620170649376938

4. Every once in a while, it reports a 404 message.

5. Have not been able to detect any pattern.  Sometimes goes correctly to Manage after 2 or 3 tries (where the initial results was always "Search").  But in other attempts, it went to "Search" 14 times and never went to "Manage". 

6. Also tested in Safe Mode, with similar problems (e.g., in first three attempts, I got:  "Search", "404 not found", and "Manager" (expected).
And have quit and restarted the program, but the same problem remains.

7. I have the impression that once LO "finds" the right bookmark, then it continues to go to the right place (but has been hard to test systematically), but if the Template Manager is closed and reopened, then the first attempt with F1 on "Manage" always goes to Search.
Comment 5 Rafael Lima 2023-07-24 17:58:41 UTC
I think this is WFM:

1) If you open the Template Manager and simply hover over "Manage", then the "Search" entry will have focus, thus pressing F1 will open the "Search" bookmark (which is expected)

2) If you explicitly click "Manage" and then F1, then the "Manage" bookmark will open (also expected)

I tried many times and could never get a 404 error.

Tested with

I am closing this as WFM for the moment. Feel free to reopen if you can still reproduce the bug.
Comment 7 sdc.blanco 2023-08-02 14:16:36 UTC
I agree.  Click on or use Tab to "Manage" button, press F1.  Goes to relevant entry in the Template Manager help page.

@Rafael: but -- when I try to use F1 on the dropdown items under the Manage button, then I get 404 and Help id: .help:index -- even though bug 147910 claims that this problem has been fixed.   Could you try also -- to see if it is necessary to reopen that bug.

Indeed, the HIDs for these entries in the context menu still need to be set.

I'll see to that.

Thanks for that.  Maybe this bug 146734 should remain as WFM, and bug 147910 should be reopened, which is about the dropdown menu items under "Manage".
