Description pacrtoroallu 2025-12-17 17:51:49 UTC
Description:
After clicking the Help button in the Grammar Cheking (Portuguese) tab of Language and Locales,
the online documentation page opens with a 404 error instead of showing the expected help content.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LibreOffice Writer.
2.Go to Tools > Options > Language and Locales > Grammar Cheking (Portuguese)
3.Click the "Help" button at the bottom of the dialog.

Actual Results:
The Help button opens a browser window pointing to the official LibreOffice online help, but the page returns a 404 error (page not found).

Expected Results:
The Help button should open a relevant help page explaining the grammar checking options in this module, or at least redirect to the general Writing Aids or LanguageTool documentation without errors.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
LibreOffice version: 25.8.3.2
Operating System: [Windows 11].
User interface language: Portuguese (Brazil).

This is a legacy module (likely based on outdated LightProof or CoGrOO rules), superseded by the integrated LanguageTool. The contextual help link is broken/outdated.

Similar issue reported for the English "English sentence checking" tab in bug #143754, but this is specific to the Portuguese localization.

No crash occurs – just reduced usability when users seek help on writing aids.
