Steps: 1. Open Calc 2. Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General > turn Extended Tips on 3. Open the Function Wizard 4. Hover over the Category dropdown Results: "Opens the function wizard, [...]" Started in 7.1 (didn't seem to have an extended tip before) Version: 7.1.8.1 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e1f30c802c3269a1d052614453f260e49458c82c CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Still in recent master build: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 01c9c971e43782800ebf63acc763a7e7fba096c1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
The accessible description is correct in the UI file: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/formula/uiconfig/ui/functionpage.ui?r=f89b94c2#80 Turns out this is an issue with many (all?) dropdowns in dialogs. For example: Format > Cells... > Numbers > hover over the Language dropdown. Also in other components, e.g.: Writer > Format > Character... > Hyperlink. They show the accessible description of the whole dialog, or of the active tab. It is GTK-specific as I can't reproduce with the KF5 VCL: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 01c9c971e43782800ebf63acc763a7e7fba096c1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Caolán, you might be interested.
