Screenshot showing input help popping up behind buttons

In calc, version 7.6.4.1, if you use a combination of buttons and input help, the input help will always pop-up behind the buttons. Even if you edit each button via Tools->Forms->DesignMode, then Select button and Arrange->Send to Back. The Arrange action seems to be completely ignored on buttons in calc.  However, if you enter DesignMode, then input help will display over the top of buttons.  But, as a result of using DesignMode, the buttons are only selectable, not clickable to trigger an action.

I first noticed this behavior in 7.6.2.1 when porting a spreadsheet to LibreOffice from excel.

I tested with LibreOffice 7.6.4.1 on macOS 13.6.3 and the input help stays on top of the button even when I am not in design mode. UI render is Skia/Raster.

Please copy and paste here the contents of your LibreOffice - About by clicking the copy button. This allows us to know more about your system.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

Ok, does it make a difference, if you deactivate this: LibreOffice - Preferences - LibreOffice - View - Use Skia for all rendering
Comment 4 Ed 2024-01-19 18:48:49 UTC
No,
Unchecked box "Use skia for all rendering", applied and restarted. Same result, help box pops-up behind buttons. 

As an experiment I enabled "Use Hardware acceleration", but box becomes unchecked after apply and restart. So, no fix there either.
