<div>
<pre>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
<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/136998">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/136998</a>). If the tooltip placement was
consistently above, then it would only cover toolbar buttons, which is
supposedly irrelevant for the formula entry case.
