Description Olivier Hallot 2024-08-25 15:18:03 UTC
The Help page on "Combined display" [1] of the status bar has a description that does not match the user interface.

It says: 
-------------8<--------------
When the cursor is positioned within text, you can double-click this field to open the Fields dialog. In this dialog, you can define a field to be inserted in your document at the current cursor position. 
-------------8<--------------

It does not work on master branch.

Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 42e517ca2fbf3cbec7500ff0b8e0efe19d0b7adf
CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: x11
Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

So either:
1) The Help page is wrong/outdated and the text should be removed

or

2) the Status Bar has a bug and does not work as described in the Help page (regression)

Note: The page refers to .uno:StatusBarFunc [2]

Comment 1 Buovjaga 2024-11-12 17:32:10 UTC
Bibisected the behaviour change with linux-44max.

In bug 86018 it was decided that the functionality should be removed and it was done in commit ebabf6d1fa648d62dd63529e9fe64dcb631caee8

So Help can indeed be updated.
