You are right, excuse me, I mistaked something trying to edit the previus.
Comment 4 gmarco 2015-05-17 20:44:57 UTC
Out of curiosity I extended testing (both in Write that in Calc) and all pull-down menus have many differences both between online help and reality, both between English and Italian versions.
I realize that the task is onerous, but a general review would be appropriate.

after installing 4.4.4.3 I confirm what said

Perhaps the items you find missing are self explaining and do not need specific help. Please give details on what is missing in the English online help.

That said it is not a surprising news that the help is late on the GUI. Your help is welcome. ;-)

Set status to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once you have provided requested information.

Best regards. JBF

Pointing out that the differences that I reported are related to the Italian version, here is what you require:
- in the real menu I see "Visualizza", online is "Visualizzazione"
then in the real pop-up:
- "Barre degli strumenti" not in the online where I see "Testo sorgente HTML"
- "Contorni tabella" not online
- "Commenti" not online
- "Immagini" not online
- "Galleria Clip Art" not online
- "Barra laterale" not online

I think it is not a question related to unusefull or self explaining items, I think instead that the online page (that specific page)should reproduce exactly what I see in the reality.
Do you agree?

Not a question of translation, but of non-alignment between what appears in the dropdown menu and what is in the guide: compare attachments "menu'Visualizza'.jpg" and "help for 'Visualizza'.pdf".
In the dropdown appear different item-topics that are not even in the guide (Barre degli strumenti, Contorni tabella, Commenti, Immagini, Galleria Clip Art, Barra laterale): even should they be self explaining, they would have a recall in the help-guide with a minimum of explanation.
In the guide appears instead an argument (Testo sorgente HTML) that is not in the dropdown: go to the introduction (see "help home.pdf"), clicking on Menu you get to the contextual screen, click on View and then on "Testo sorgente HTML" and here (see "screenshot 'TestoSorgenteHTML'") we read "Per accedere a questo comando...Scegliete Visualizza - Testo sorgente HTML" (English: To access this command ... Choose View - HTML Source) .... but in the dropdown the argument is not mentioned!

Comment 15 Olivier Hallot 2016-02-10 00:37:24 UTC
It looks like that the differences observed in the Italian LibreOffice is consequence of the changes in the menu that where not reflected in the help pages.

Possible dup of bug 92825.

Please confirm if the issue is still valid in LibreOffice 5.1 because many help pages were updated from the new menus. Wherever possible, please use the default English UI for reporting.
Comment 16 gmarco 2016-02-10 09:19:10 UTC
How can bug 91344 be a dup of 92825?
Nevertheless, I am now in LO 5.0.4.2 and nothing has changed (only some items posponed in the view menu).
Thanks.

screenshot about View menu and help

Still NEW since long time but still so or similar in LO 5.2.3.3
Look at the new attachment: on the left the Writer menu, on the right the online help.
