--- Comment #4 from Rainer Bielefeld <ra...@bielefeldundbuss.de> ---
Yes, indeed, information in message box is a little poor.

a) Text message "Invalid Value" is poor. In menu 'Data -> Validity -> Error
Alert
   - Error Message' a more meaningful text can be added, the field is empty by
     default. May be something like "User defined restrictions for input of 
     values" or similar would improve usability?

b) At least a Help button leading to 'Validity of Cell Contents' should be
added

c) [OK] button IMHO is misleading for selected proceeding "Stop", 
   I think this is a bug. "OK" generally is for
   confirmation or finishing an allowed operation, but here you only can 
   * Retry 
   * Ignore Value: Input will be ignored, cell cursor moves to expected
     position
   * or whatever (dependent on settings in menu 'Data -> Validity -> 
    Error Alert' 
d) Related to "Bug 41104 - Needs Spec: Make Calc "Data Validity" more powerful 
   and easier to use", I did not find the time to check all suggestions there.

e) Inherited from OOo

@Akriti
Can you please submit extra bug for 'c', if you agree with my thoughts and no
DUPLICATE does exist
