The Frameworks and Tools tab in the Options window has a number of frameworks that are displayed in the left pane depending on which plugins are installed. The id for the help button changes according to which framework is selected. But it seems that when there are several plugins installed that sometimes the window gets confused and will assign the wrong id to the button. Closing and opening the Options window can help, but the help id often gets stuck on one id.
I will definitely look at it, however I am not sure whether the Help ID can be "dynamic" (I mean whether it can change if I click on a different framework); I think that the Help ID is got just once when the dialog is created and then it never changes... Adding Jarda to CC, as a maintainer of the Help System - am I right? Don't you know, please? Thanks.
I just verified (using System.out) that once the panel is switched, the Help ID is properly set so I guess this has to be issue in the Help System. Could you please evaluate? Thanks.
The Help System seems to work correctly. Options panel just needs to be informed when the help id is changed. I'll attach a patch with possible fix. Please check it. Thank you.
