--- Comment #5 from Regina Henschel <[email protected]> --- The extended tips wrap at about 40 characters (in Latin script) and that looks good. If the maximal length is decreased, long normal tips will be handled as if they are extended tips. The value for HELPTEXTMAXLEN only determines when the switch appears. It is in https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/app/help.cxx?r=1f0d2531dbeff80eeb3a4fe8485ef1baec6d5752&mo=1322&fi=40#325 When a long normal tip is handled as extended tip, they will no longer automatically disappear. Such should only happen for really long tips. For them you need more time to read anyway. Going down with HELPTEXTMAXLEN to 50 would affect too many help tips, I think. In general I think, that normal help tips should always wrap the same as extended tips, but their ability of automatically disappearing should be kept. If there is no easy solution for that, changing the threshold value to 100 is a good compromise. I have learned on the mailing list, that disappearing of help tips is an advanced accessibility setting. It is `IsHelpTipsDisappear` and `HelpTipSeconds` in org.openoffice.Office.Common.Accessibility. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
