Problem description: 

If the option "Extended tips" is chosen, tips of the status bar are not always displayed correctly. In Writer this problem occurs for the first two items (page number, page style) and in Calc for the first item (sheet number). I did not check the other LO components. 

Depending on the position where you move with the mouse cursor into these fields, the Extended tip box is displayed completely (correct) or only a small part of the box is displayed at the bottom of the screen (wrong). The same behavior occurs when you select "What's This?" (in German: Direkthilfe) from the menu and then move the cursor to the status bar. More details see attachment.

With the English(USA) user interface, this behavior does not exist, because extended tips of the status bar are not displayed with my installation not at all. Hence I added screen shots of the German UI to the attachment.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Writer with new document with Germen User Interface
2. Menu: Hilfe -> Direkthilfe
3. Move mouse cursor to first item of status bar as described above

Current behavior: Extended tips box of status bar is not always displayed complete.

Expected behavior: Box should be displayed complete.
