Description Harald Koester 2011-11-17 02:55:28 UTC
Problem description: 

If the Help System is active and a help page is displayed, the items (Headings, Tables, Text frames, ...) of this page are displayed in the item list of the Navigator (Writer). This may be interesting for the author of the help page, but a normal user is rather irritated.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Start LO and open a new text document.
2. Display the Navigator (F5). 
3. Start Help (F1). A help page is displayed.
4. Change back to document (Alt+Tab).
5. Choose "Active Window" at the bottom of the Navigator window. 
Now the item list of the help page is displayed in the Navigator. You can even jump to the help page with a double-click of an item.
My System: Win XP SP3, LO V. 3.4.4. The bug exists also in V. 3.4.3.
I do not use the online help but the German help pack. (Download file: LibO_3.4.4_Win_x86_helppack_de.exe)

Reproducible in 3.6.0 master. But my be so should be by some reason?

Can one of you provide an attachment showing what you're talking about. I'm not clear on what the problem is. Marking as NEEDINFO, once the attachment is made mark as UNCONFIRMED and we'll triage it

The displayed items (headings and hyperlinks) of the navigator belong to the help window. The text document is completely empty (no headings, no hyperlinks).

Hello

I confirm with windows 7 64bits and:
- Version 3.6.4.3 (Build ID: 2ef5aff)
- Version 4.0.0.0.beta1+ (Build ID: 58889b2f592658a6c68ed13fe604fbbe7eaad96)

More information

A. Was already the same with OOo (not a regression)
B. We have the same issue with the "Object catalog" in EDI

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start LibO
2. Tools> Macros> Organize macros> Basic> Edit (EDI opens)
3. Open help (F1)
4. Change back to EDI
5. Display Object catalog if not (click on the tool in standard toolbar)

Help is listed in the catalog, item:
vnd.sun.star.help://sbasic....

See attached screenshot (HelpInNavigator.png )

In Writer's context, we can wonder if it is a bug or not: Help is here considered a document.

In contrast, in EDI's context, this can be nothing but a bug because the purpose of the catalog is to list macros.

Regards
Pierre-Yves
