Description olivierperie 2025-07-11 06:24:54 UTC
Description:
When I want to write a function in the formula bar, the function’s writing help tooltip hides the function I am writing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable all toolbars
2. Activate the formula bar
3. Click inside the formula bar
4. Start writing any function. Example: =sum(

Actual Results:
The help tooltip for writing the function appears. But it appears over the formula bar, which prevents seeing the formula one is writing.

Expected Results:
The function’s writing help tooltip appears at a location that allows reading what one is writing.


Reproducible: Always
