            Bug ID: 131169
           Summary: Inconsistent UI behaviour when double-clicking
                    function names in Calc's Function Wizard
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: stevemfanning.wh at gmail.com

I have found an inconsistency in the behaviour of the user interface within
Calc’s Function Wizard dialog.

The following behaviour appears to be the norm and applies whenever the
function selected in the first step belongs to any category other than
“Add-in”.
(1)     Double-click a function name in the “Function” list on the left-hand
side of the Function Wizard dialog.
(2)     The right-hand side of the dialog is updated to provide details of the
parameters to be supplied with the selected function.
(3)     The “Category” drop-down on the left-hand side of the dialog is updated
(if necessary) to reflect the category of the selected function.
(4)     The “Function” list on the left-hand side of the dialog is updated (if
necessary) to show only the functions in the same category as the selected
function.
(5)     The entry for the selected function is highlighted in the “Function”
list on the left-hand side of the dialog.

These steps all seem sensible from a user interface design perspective.

However, if you select a function in the first step that is in the “Add-in”
category the behaviour is different as follows:
a)      The “Category” drop-down on the left-hand side of the dialog is updated
(if necessary) to “All”.
b)      The “Function” list on the left-hand side of the dialog is updated (if
necessary) to show all functions in all categories.
c)      The entry for the selected function is NOT highlighted in the
“Function” list on the left-hand side of the dialog.

I find this inconsistency very frustrating – could anything be done to make the
dialog handle the Add-in functions in the same way that it handles those in
other categories?
