Description Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2022-12-13 21:58:15 UTC
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

Calc: threaded
Comment 1 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2022-12-13 22:27:32 UTC
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.
