Comment 1 sdc.blanco 2023-01-18 16:22:56 UTC 
- Open Sidebar (Ctrl+F5)
- Click on Sidebar Settings (hamburger icon)
- Put cursor on any item in dropdown menu (or items in the Customization submenu).
- Press F1

Actual: 404 error

Special interest:  What is "Restore Default" (in Customization menu) supposed to do?  (could not see effect from using it)

Comment 3 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-01-19 09:46:41 UTC 
Reproduced with GEN VCL on Ubuntu 20.04:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: f1830bff71847a9c17715cff52383956719847fe
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: x11
Locale: fr-FR (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

All items go to the 404 documentation page (using HID=.help:index). But using F1 on View > Styles does leads to the right documentation page (using HID=.uno:DesignerDialog).

Also tested 6.1, and the HID is the same for these hamburger menu items but at least the documentation does resolve to the Help Index (i.e. home page for the component).

Version: 6.1.0.3
Build ID: efb621ed25068d70781dc026f7e9c5187a4decd1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

(Note: I can't use F1 on menu items for GTK, KD5 or QT5 VCLs)
Comment 4 Olivier Hallot 2023-02-15 14:11:29 UTC 
When a pages displays HID=.help:index, then the software piece for this UI element does not have a HID associated to the command. HIDs can be uno commands, widgets in dialogs or slots like "HID=SW_HID_EDIT_WIN". The fix is partly upstream (core).
