--- Comment #10 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> ---
While I mostly agree with comment 4, showing error codes is not good UX. It's
probably a consequence that we use tooltip-like comments (hovering cells with
comments shows the annotation). We could to some extend follow the example of
Excel and show a different kind of annotation (Excel does via floating
collapsed context menu) where the tooltip could be attached and an interaction
to load the respective online help.

Bottom line: yes to error codes are odd, no to ordinary tooltips. And I agree
that whatever we do, it's not the magic wand that substitutes reading the
manual. Once you know that the "formula" section of the statusbar is overloaded
with the description of the error code this is working okay-ish.

PS: F1 on the grid / SC_HID_SC_WIN_GRIDWIN could be enhanced too; it is
currently not assigned to any help page.
