Screenshot illustrating issue

AOO Writer - the lower right part of document window, icon between between up button ("double arrow up") and down button ("double arrow down").

Hover your mouse over that icon.

If "Extended tips" is unchecked (OFF), tip reads: "Navigation". Short and easy to grasp. Even to me.

However if "Extended tips" is checked (ON), tip reads:
"If you click this icon in the Navigator [...]. So where is THIS icon in Navigator? Not so easy to grasp. Especially to me.


Please rephrase that part "this icon in the Navigator". In the meantime
(or mean time) I will continue my strenuous quest for THIS icon.

(see attached screenshots, file "Writer")

(Of course this questionable part of extended tip refers to icon I marked in yellow. One can simply forget that option and use i.a. Navigator icon on Standard toolbar or <F5> key.

Confirmed with AOO 4.1.7 on Ubuntu.

I would simplify the string:
"If you click on this icon, a toolbar will appear [...]"

Thanks for accurate solution. Couldn't find anything reasonable on my own for I am little distracted by playing all the time with "travelling tip". :‑)

Yet I devised something. You may take a look at screenshots I placed in the attached file "AOO Help". It seems that the entry is missing an icon that would explain expression "if you click this icon [...]". I added "improved" version with icon in question. But that is just a makeshift. Your solution is better.

Thanks again.
