            Bug ID: 144860
           Summary: CALC Autoinput appears to have dual functionality
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: that.man.colin at gmail.com

Description:
The setting Tools>Autoinput toggles two distinct actions.
Firstly, if a text value occurs in a column then that value will be
autoinserted into another cell upon a partial match viz C2 contains text "2+1"
and immediately "2" is typed into say C4 it is automatically changed to "2+1".
Seems like a reasonable interpretation of autoinsert.
Secondly, if a cell containing a formula is double-clicked to enable editing
and the cursor is placed anywhere in the formula, then a syntax "tooltip" is
presented to the user. One might expect this to be a co-property of
Tools>Options>General  Help - Extended tips, which only impacts tool buttons
and some popup panels.

Steps to Reproduce:
Defined in the description

Actual Results:
"Inconsistent" dual functionality

Expected Results:
Specific functionality from two toggles


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
