Steps to reproduce 1) In Calc open the Functions sidebar (View - Functions List) 2) Click any of the functions in the list 3) Press F1 Actual results: This will open the generic help page about the function list: file:///usr/share/libreoffice/help/en-US/text/scalc/01/04080000.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=CALC&HID=modules/scalc/ui/functionpanel/funclist#bm_id3147126 Expected results: The help page about the selected function should be opened Note that this already works in the Function Wizard. I am proposing the same behavior applies to the sidebar as well.

This is actually a simple fix. Proposed patch here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154617

(In reply to Rafael Lima from comment #0) > Steps to reproduce > 1) In Calc open the Functions sidebar (View - Functions List) > 2) Click any of the functions in the list > 3) Press F1 Please keep in mind that if the steps are slightly different: 1. In Calc open the Functions sidebar (View - Functions List) 2. Press F1 ...(IOW, not having a specific function selected) then the Help system should still point to the generic Functions sidebar help content.
