Description Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2010-12-12 08:26:47 UTC

I see that with  "LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC1 - WIN XP English UI  [OOO330m17 (build 3.3.0.1)]": Clicking a HELP button always lead to HELP start page, not to the specific Help contents.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open new CALC document
2. Click Function Wizard symbol 'F(x)' t insert a function
   Function wizard dialog appears
3. Select function "AVERAGE"
   Short summary concerning "AVERAGE" appears in the dialog
4. Press <Help> button in dialog
   expected: Help concerning function "AVERAGE" should appear
   actual: CALC Help start page appears

I believe that's not new for you, but I did not find this on
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Produce>
For a stable release that would be no "modern" solution, I see that as a blocker for the final releas.

Wikihelp or UI problem? I can't tell.

Rainer: Thank you for the report, this is not a known issue :-(  Looking into it.

Comment 2 Jan Holesovsky 2010-12-15 10:44:36 UTC

Got the reason, now how to fix it best ;-)

BOOL SfxHelp::Start( ULONG nHelpId, const Window* pWindow )

in sfx2/source/appl/sfxhelp.cxx, the while() loop starting at line 881.  This fallbacks to the start page when the help is not installed.

Fix for the problem

This should fix that; sent to the ML for review.

Fixed in the libreoffice-3-3 branch, as commit 55abe868d44218c0af7e55fb83a11d07ecb01894 in libs-core.
