            Bug ID: 101512
           Summary: Setting to Turn On/Off Formula Tips
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bruceh...@gmail.com

Calc version 5.2 includes formula tips (during cell edit mode) that have been
expanded to include a context sensitive explanation of each parameter.

Under 5.1 the tip is:
SUMIFS(sum_range,range 1,criteria 1,range 2,criteria 2,...)

Under 5.2 the tip changes depending on the cursor position:
SUMIFS(sum_range,range 1,criteria 1,range 2,criteria 2,...):The range from wich
the values are to be totalled.
SUMIFS(sum_range,range 1,criteria 1,range 2,criteria 2,...):Range1,range2,...
are the ranges to be evaluated by the criteria given.
SUMIFS(sum_range,range 1,criteria 1,range 2,criteria 2,...):Criteria 1,
criteria 2,... are the criteria to be applied to the ranges given.

This is excellent for new users and perhaps most users but for experienced
users these extended & dynamic tips can be visually distracting.

For tool bar tips the user can choose between standard or extended tips as
follows:
Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General :: Help  Extended Tips = [Y|N]  

The enhancement request is to add user choice for formula tips like: 
Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General :: Help Formula Tips = [Y|N]
or
Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General :: 
Help Formula Tips = [None|Standard|Extended] 
(Where Standard means a tip like provided under 5.1)
