(for ease of reading I use GCD() and GCD_ADD() as an example:) When typing in a cell ("=G", "=GC", "=GCD") a tip appears for the expected function, but this tip disappears as soon as you get to "=GCD_".
Also, for functions that do not have 'extended' names (like GCD and GCD_ADD), the tip doesn't show as expected.
problem summary (AFAICS presently): -the tip above the cell is supposed to show the first matching function name whilst typing a function name. It currently only shows the base function name for functions that have extended function names (like GCD/GCD_ADD and PERCENTRANK/PERCENTRANK.EXC). -the tip below the cell shows when the function name has been entered fully and the ( added; it shows the arguments the function uses. Currently, it doesn't show for all functions (e.g. DAYS360).

Ok. Now Calc freezes every time I type =" or any formula that contains " e.g. =IF(1," or anything like that.
