            Bug ID: 160176
           Summary: Forms: Help text of a control will be shown also on
                    other controls, where no help text is defined
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Open the document. Move the cursor slowly over controls from one control to the
other …

Open the attached Writer document.
There are 2 label controls and 2 text boxes. 
In properties of first text box is set "Help text" → 'Some help text for the
first text control'.
You could see this help text when moving cursor over the first text box. 
Now move the cursor (slowly) to the second text box.
Help of first text box will appear when cursor is over second textbox.
Move on to the second label control.
Help text of first text box will appear over second label control.

This kind of help is unusable. In complete forms with more controls will be
some more controls with "Help text". A control without "Help text" will show
different help from other controls - depending on the moving with the cursor
over the form.

Have seen this bug in LO 7.4.7.2, also appears in
Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Might be it never worked well.
