            Bug ID: 124443
           Summary: AutoInput tooltip positioning is inconsistent when
                    editing formula, covering different parts of UI
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: topicUI
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com

In Calc, with Tools->AutoInput enabled, entering a formula (both in Formula
Bar, and directly in cell) shows tooltips for suggested functions/named
ranges/arguments; and the problem is that the tooltip jumps up and down
depending on if the tooltip is about suggested names or about function
arguments.

1. Start entering a formula:
"=S"
=> you will see the tooltip *above* the entered text, which suggests you
available functions, e.g. SEARCH, SEARCHB, etc.
2. Continue the input, and have a parenthesis open:
"=SUM("
=> the tooltip jumps *below* the entered text, showing you the function's
arguments: "SUM(>Number 1; Number 2; ...): ..."

The problem is that when doing that in Formula Bar, when the tooltip is *below*
the bar, it covers the column letters (see
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/136998). If the tooltip placement was
consistently above, then it would only cover toolbar buttons, which is
supposedly irrelevant for the formula entry case.

Tested with Version: 6.2.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 2b840030fec2aae0fd2658d8d4f9548af4e3518d
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: CL
